I remember a long time ago, either importing via mail order or buying from my local game shop (which sold imports) a joystick for my JPN Megadrive. I think I may have originally spied it in a CVG magazine. This wouldn't be long after the initial release of the console in Japan. I'm about 99% sure the stick was from Japan.
I can barely remember the actual stick so try to bear (or is it bare?) with me. The stick was 3rd party. I remember the form was not far off the tradional home arcade sticks of today, a rectangular shape base, but smaller than those we see today. I think the stick itself was a back on a stick. The colour scheme of the stick was mostly black with orange details... possible the stick ball and lines surrounding buttons (I'm guessing a little here though). Definately black with some orange.
It only had three buttons, but I think there was a rapid fire switch for them.
The stick may have come from a range that was released by the company which I also can't remember.
Hope someone can put me out of my misery and show me a picture or two. Or even show me how I've got it all wrong and it was a peripheral for the GX4000 sold only by EthelAustin
