Title: Where to put?
Post by: asmodean on April 08, 2015, 05:03:25 am

I have a lot of old joysticks that all share the same "Atari-controller port" that was used for the Atari 2600, the Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis/Master System etc.

The joysticks were not branded towards any specific console/computer but was sold for "Home computers" in the 80s. Which category do you guys think I should use?

There is a non-specific "Hardware" category for just this kind of thing, if they are not official Atari branded sticks. If they are Atari branded, they would go under whatever the first category that they were used for. For example, a CX40 joystick can be used on pretty much any Atari, but it was sold with the 2600 first, so that's where it would go.

I suggest to put it in "Accessory" category.

Thanks! I'll put it in the Hardware/Accessory category :)
