Description

From the classic Atari stick to the handy pads from Sega and Nintendo to the optical precision devices of the first-person shooter present, joysticks play with the best, but also the most notorious controllers.

Joysticks provoke emotions: Controllers are thrown out of the window after the eleventh game over and have to hold out the button as a final excuse: “I can’t help it – my pad is stuck” are the last words of the multiplayer loser. Scapegoat, accomplice and lifesaver: pad and stick are the only accessories that every player takes in their hands – that connects them.

In collaboration with Take 2, Winnie Forster and Stephan Freundorfer present the reference work for all game fans: Joysticks shows the best and the coolest, the most bizarre and daring controllers from 30 years of computer and video game history.
