So there you go for hardware, some good, some not so good, and some damn right awful kit you can pick up right there. Seriously I doubt anyone has as much tripe hardware in their collection as I do. I am a sucker for poor quality stuff I guess.

Next up some Special Editions and a games hunt Christmas update.

INFORMATION:

Manufacturer: Maxwise
Product Number: N/A

BOX DESCRIPTION:

• Vibration Force Feedback
• Independent Turbo Fire
• Slow Motion!
• Show Joystick

DUAL SHOCK FORCE FEEDBACK
Games displaying the DUAL SHOCK or Vibration compatible logo will activate the twin rumble effect built into the Maxwise.
This allows a greater degree of flexibility allowing you to feel a slight rumble when, for example, your car is running over rough ground, but then to feel force as your car smashes into the Armco!

SLOW MOTION FUNCTION
The Maxwise has a built in Slow Motion function, which slows the gameplay speed with selected software titles.
This allows more complext parts of the ame to be played at al slower speed (Please note this function is dependent on the allocation of the pause button for the particular game you are playing)
Press the SLOW button to activate/de-activate this function.

TURBO FIRE FUNCTION
The Mazwise will allow selected, independent buttons to be assigned a turbo fire function.
On fast firing shoot-em-ups, this function allows repeated firing without causing excessive wear and tear on your thumb.!

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

Oh dear oh dear. Lots of spiel on the back of the box but little to show for it in usefulness terms. This is just an awful cheap piece of kit. Stay away from it if you can!

INFORMATION:

Manufacturer: VGA Standard Issue
Product Number: N/A

BOX DESCRIPTION:

For the gamer who wants real action of football games. Step on the Football Mat, a controller ideally suited for football sport game play. Three photo sensors situated on the mat instantly translate all your moves to your character in the game. This means you can finally be part of truly interactive gameplay that not only brings realism to the forefront, but also take you into the game. Get off the couch – get into the game!

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

No! No! No! No! No! Stupid stupid stupid!!!! I liek sitting on my fat arse and playing games and not making a prat out of myself thank you very much.

INFORMATION:

Manufacturer: Quickshot
Product Number: N/A

BOX DESCRIPTION:

Features:

• Exciting Arcade Type Design
• 270 degree Rotatable button pad to suit your playing style
• Start and Select Buttons
• 8 Fire Buttons
• 8-Directional Control Stick
• 4 Independent Turbo Fire Buttons Selectors
• 8-Foot Cord
• 5 Stabilizing Suction Cups

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

Shame the name doesn’t live up to the joystick. The Devastator is alright as an arcade stick but it is so far off its competition when it comes to build quality. Still it does have the nice touch of a rotating button pad allowing you to get it just right for your hands during play.

INFORMATION:

Manufacturer: Interact
Product Number:

BOX DESCRIPTION:

• 8 Fire Buttons
• Independant Auot-Fire Control for Semi and Hands-Free Auto-Fire
• 4 Speeds of Auto-Fire
• 3 Speeds Of Slow Motion
• LED Indicators
• Durable Arcade Design with Metal Base

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

The only thing that comes close to a Namco Arcade Stick, this is Interact’s attempt at it and it is extremely rare to find one of these. Its a weighty bit of kit with the metal base and added features of auto fire etc that seems standard on the 3rd party controllers but to be honest it still has a little way to go to beat the Namco.

INFORMATION:

Manufacturer: Logic 3
Product Number: N/A

BOX DESCRIPTION:

Analogue Joystick for PSX

• 8 Fire Buttons
• 8 Semi-Auto or Hands Free Auto Fire Selection
• LED Display Panel
• 4-Way View Hat Switch Control
• W and Z-Axis Controls
• Digital, Analogue and Namco Select Modes
• Slow Motion

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

A very rare find here, the PS Dominator is one of few joysticks designed for the PSX. Brimming with all the usually flight stick-esque features this little chap really is a neat piece of kit and like I said is hardly seen in this condition.

Top Drive Sprinter	Harry Potter Console	Wild Things Magnifier
Ascii Grip	Joytech Essential Pack	Namco Arcade Stick
Intec Starter’z Pack	VisionPad	Classic Trackball

So yeah just a small update . Some real great finds in there, and some stuff I have been hunting for ages, finally I have them.

Teh Future

Ok the final part of my update today is some news. As our regular readers know I am not happy about the speed of the site recently, well I think I have tracked it down however in order to solve the problem its going to take a big overhaul of the site. Now because of this I am going to be stepping back into the shadows for a little while as I try to get it all sorted out, so what that means is that I will not be throwing up as many updates as I have lately until I get it done. I will continue to update you all on the progress to a complete collection but that will be about it as I ferret around in the back end.

I will still be around to post in the forums and stuff so its not like I am dissappearing, and also it might give AtariBuff a kick up the butt to do some updates as I know he has some great stuff to show you guys. So everyone should hassle him to update, throw a comment on this post and I am sure with enough name calling we can get him to do it.

You will know when I am going to make a comeback on updates as well, as you will see a big change around here. Anyway for now I hope this is enough to keep you going for now. I will see you on the forums and try to get this done as soon as possible.

Cheers
Defcon

BOX DESCRIPTION:

• Designed for use with Sony PlayStation game console and for use with all Mouse compatible games
• Oversized high density Trackball for smooth arcade-quality gameplay
• Turbo fire feature
• Designed for left or right handed play

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

A weird one here, the Classic Trackball controller is just plain strange. I cannot think of it being used for many games myself but I am sure there are people out there that would find this a lot easier to use for some games than me. Still this is a nice sealed example of it so I am not going to complain to much.
