Weird Outrun Joystick?

[Digi.k]

yea I think I remember seeing it being advertised along with outrun and afterburner II for pce in those japanese pce mags waaay back in the early 90's  although I don't ever recall any importer getting their hands on any of them here in the UK..

giveaway present to 100 people.......

I number of years back, it was discovered that Afterburner on the PCE supported analog stick controls. Is this an analog stick?

[SuperDeadite]

Yes the stick and throttle are fully analog.  Very common item in the X68000 fan world.  There's about 14 X68k games that support it, works great for Afterburner and Thunder Blade.  I'm looking forward to trying it with the PCE games.

it says it is the cyberstick set, an analogue controller ...

I love me some outrun and now I feel like I have to play it with this controller.

SuperDeadite, what does one of these controllers and an adapter go for in Japan?  You are making it seem common, aka - cheap.  In which case, we all want one!

[soop]

Yeah, I REALLY fricking want one!!!!!

[SuperDeadite]

I paid 3,200yen for mine boxed.

I'll give you 3,400 yen RIGHT NOW

where did you get yours from?  I'm finding it hard to get any hits no matter what I type.

Haha, well living in Japan helps.  As I said these were meant for X68000 computer users about 14 or so games that support it, the PCEngine games are just a theoretical bonus.  Hence they often turn up at places that sell X68k gear.  You'll usually see it listed as the "Cyberstick."

Personally I have no desire to use mine with PCE Afterburner and Thunderblade, as the X68000 versions are much better ports and I already have them.  But sadly the X68000 never got a port of Outrun, so I'm looking forward to trying that.

:O

It's also called the cz-8nj2, but I can't find a cheap one.  One was on sale for $300 on eBay.de, and one seems to be on sale in Japan for 20,000 Yen.  Pricey.

Just got the adapter in.  And it works with PCE Outrun perfectly.   The throttle functions as an analog gas pedal.  Stick left and right to turn, up and down to shift.  All the buttons are brake.  I'll put up a video later.

Holy crap. Send me the controller and adapter. I will pay you. Thanks .

I think this confirms it!

The demand for this controller has reached new heights.

Man I love Outrun.  Arguably my favorite Sega arcade game growing up (Shinobi and Altered Beast both also got a ton of my quarters).

[Tatsujin]

Man I love Outrun.

Get Sega Age Outrun for the saturn and the analogue wheel. both cheaper together than this controller, and best outrun in universe

I'll do this, but I still want a PCE analog stick for PCE Outrun!
