Suncom makes 'em.  My Slick Stick has survived quite a while, but I'm
not a hard-core game-til-you-drop type.  Suncom also makes a sturdier
stick called TAC-2 that's just as nice.  The TAC-2 is as cheap as
slightly more expensive dirt.

Anyone have a good-condition Amiga Pow'rstick they'd like to sell?
Yes, this is the one made by Amiga Corporation before Commodore bought
them out for their nifty computer design.  Kind of too bad in a way.
The Pow'rstick is my all-time favorite handheld joystick.
