I’ve got a similar vintage Thrustmaster joystick I use with my DOS PC which is in another league to this one in terms of feel, at least for combat flight sims like this. The stick also has a rectangular field of movement rather than circular which is a little odd when you get to a corner. Moving across the center position, the stick almost clicks into place and it’s far from smooth as a result. It uses a 2 drum system to allow the stick to move on the x and y-axis and while it’s comfortable enough to use, I can’t say that I’m exactly unaware of the independent nature of these drums and it’s easier to move along one axis than two. This 3DO version also has four buttons on the base. The first PC joystick I ever bought was it’s smaller non-pro brother which only had the 2 fire buttons and no 4-way hat switch. It’s a fully analog stick based on a PC version of the same joystick that had been around for some years as I recall. It has to be said that I’ve only played the one mission on SWC and fooled around in the simulator a little on WC3 so this is only my initial thoughts.Ī few words on the hardware first. My “new” joystick for the 3DO arrived a couple of days back completing my 3DO setup (with Vectrex accessory) and I’m fresh from trying it out on the only 2 3DO games that matter, Super Wing Commander and Wing Commander 3.
