Summary

[edit]
Description
British English: Before it was acquired by Commodore to produce the enonymous homecomputer classic, Amiga produced joysticks for game systems and computers like the Atari 2600 and the Commodore 64. In 1983 Amiga released the Amiga Power Stick. Unconventionally small it fit the size of a hand, the Power Stick had two fire buttons that could easily be pressed with the index finger and the thumb.
Deutsch: Vor der Übernahme durch Commodore war Amiga eine eigenständige Firma, die Joysticks für Videospielsysteme wie das Atari 2600 sowie für Heimcomputer von Atari und Commodore herstellte. Der Amiga Power Stick wurde 1983 veröffentlicht: Der Joytick ist ungewöhnlich klein (er passt gut in die hohle Hand) und hat zwei Feuerknöpfe, die mit Zeigefinger oder Daumen betätigt werden können.

During Corona lockdown 2021 I started taking pictures of my own pre-historic video game joysticks and controllers. Releasing those photos into the public domain should help to preserve, archive and celebrate the beauty of controller design.
