172.0. "Is there a One Handed Joy Stick?" by SHARE::PERKINS () Tue Dec 20 1988 11:42

                      I need some help!!
    
    My name is Marge and I just got the Nintendo game Sat. Dec.17th
    
    I'm already crazed with it. The problem I'm having is I am going
    
    to have an orperation on my left hand in Feb. I want to know if
    
    there is a joy stick or control panel that one could use just one
    
    hand ?  I need to find out as soon as possible. 
    
           This game is the greatest. And I would hate to have to give
    
    it up for the time I'm ot of commision.

172.2one handed joy stickWAV12::RICHARDWed Dec 21 1988 10:318
    to the person wondering about the one handed joy stick there is
    one on the market.  it is a joy stick with the two fire buttons
    on the stick  (a+b).  it also has suction cups on the bottom so
    that it will stick to a table.  I bought two at the stuarts
    store in lowell,ma..  If i remember right the run about $20.00
    they are great for playing top gun.  It should fit your need 
    very nicely.

172.3Check the magazines.IXOYE::HOVEYWed Dec 21 1988 11:3912
Look in Players Magazine (or is it Nintendo Game Players Magazine?). Anyhow, 
the most obivious word on the cover is PLAYERS. The Child World in Nashua has 
it right underneath the Nintendo Games. They advertise all the 3rd party 
nintendo stuff. Naturally there are lots of controller variations. 

You can even spend $250.00 to get a full size "arcade" style box to put your 
nintendo in. You supply the nintendo and tv set to go inside, they give you
the furniture to house it, joy sticks, etc. Too bad there is not a coin slot.

Also, they review nintendo games - lots of color photos and game play 
descriptions to help you decide if you want to purchase the game.

    The reviews in that magazine are terrible!  They are out of date (games
    that have been available for a while are indicated as having been
    unavailable for review), several pictures are mixed up, and the reviews
    themselves are questionable -- Legend of Zelda didn't score nearly as
    well as it should have.  The numbers they assign in the various
    categories just don't match the games.
