I'm planning to play Descent for PlayStation with my friend. Which joystick should I get to maximize the experience? I think I would prefer one which has only one stick, which is how I played it on PC back in the day. So is there one which DOESN'T look like this and is good:

?
Thanks.
the only playstation joysticks I've ever used were the neo geo stick 2 and the sega virtua stick released around 04 or 05. both are decent but I liked the virtua stick the best of the two. the only problem with it is their very hard to find, you might be better off getting a hori fighting stick instead since their easier to find. if you want some pics of the playstation versions of the neo geo stick 2 or the sega virtua stick I can take some later.
Do they work with the first PlayStation? Seem like late releases to me, but maybe they are compatible with it and the old games anyway.

their compatible win both ps1 and ps2 systems and games, most ps2 era joysticks will work fine with the ps1. there's also the option of the namco arcade stick released in the mid 90s they work great but are hard to find.Quote:

You miss the point, pal. Not all PS1 games are compatible with analog controllers. Not all games compatiible with analog controllers use the same protocol. Zebbe wants to play Descent, a game that is not compatible with the dual shock protocol; only with the dual analog protocol. They are different things.Quote:

EDIT: Looks like that I missed the point too. DERRRRR.
Well the Namco arcade stick would be a decent option, yes.
I don't know a single stick option like you're searching for, Zebbe, and that is compatible with the dual analog protocol.
The best option IMO would be something like this:

At least, it's not giant like the original model.
I'm well aware that not all ps1 games are compatible with analog but he didn't exactly say which games he wants to use a joystick with. i was simply saying most arcade sticks for ps1 and ps2 work for either system.Quote:

no problem, I just didn't know if he meant he wanted a arcade style joystick or the flight stick style like the hori one you posted a link to.Quote:
