Wico Boss (Joystick)
This was 1 of two joysticks which was bundled together with my first Commodore 64 back in 1987/88. The other joystick was an Tac-2.
Both these holds a special place in my entire computer history :-)
My cousin borrowed this particular item for many years, but when I wanted it back it was gone. So, I had to go to EBAY some years back and purchase a new one.
Joystick is quite wobbly I remember, but this newer item was not that wobbly. So, either mine was really broken, or it was a variant of production. Who knows.

Now, this is a GamePort joystick for PC, but its probably old and useful so it still makes it into my Joystick archive.

8bit Star Racing (Wheel)
This is a wierd item, it has a 9PIN DSUB port in the front, but also composite video and audio out, including a power input.
I believe it actually has some 8-bit games stored inside.

Suncom TAC-2 (Joystick)
Now, this is what I call a Joystick!
This was the other one I owned that came with my first Commodore 64 computer. This item is not from that period (1987/88) as that one, including 4-5 more, all break due to heavy use. That's quite bizarre because the travel length of this is minimal, and its made of hard steel rod inside!
Damn that Combat School on C64 and Body Blows on Amiga!
I believe this item pictured here is actually a frankenstein repaired object me and my friend Waxhead did some work on a couple of years ago. We tried to fix the metal rod inside and somewhat managed to get it working. Allthough its even a bit more stiff that it should be, but otherwise it works great.
This frankenstein TAC-2 was salvaged together out of my 3 original TAC-2 from the 80-90's.... the other parts are just some casings, buttons, metal washer and thats pretty much it.
This joystick when they are in perfect condition, beats the crap out of any other joystick out there _EVER_ made, even the Zipstik (which I never liked) that for some reason everybody else praises, or was it the Competition PRO (I dont like that one either!).

Unknown (Joypad)
This was an random collected item with no backstory. I'm not sure what gaming console or computer this belongs to. It has a number of buttons, and 1 single top edge side button that says "MODE". It does have a classic old 9pin DSUB.
There are no brands, logo or text.

Atari Joypads
These are joypads that fits an Atari 7800, which I bought many years ago from Denmark I believe. Both the Atari 7800 and pads works great!
