Obscure PC Engine hardware
« on: February 25, 2015, 01:41:46 AM »
Just picked up this Wontec Wireless Joy Stick from Taiwan and wondered if anyone had seen it before...





Or maybe you have some other unlicensed or obscure hardware that is not often seen. Then please post pics as I would be interested to see what you have...

I've never seen that happy rainbow unicorn fart controller, so thanks for sharing.  :mrgreen:

The closest I can get to obscure hardware is a wireless Acemore stick, a pachinko controller, and the PrintBooster/IllustBooster/PhotoReader.

It looks like this one, though I don't have a box for mine.

There's a very similar wired version too.  I've not used one, but I assume it's crappy like the wireless one.

Well they definitely are obscure as there is nothing on the web for either of them.

Have you seen the wired one about before then..?

I love all these weird and wonderful pieces of obscure hardware... hopefully we can see some others that are in collections.

Don't forget the "Bonk Head" that goes with the Acemore stick. Any one have one?

We need to get some Bonk heads made via 3-D printing.  I've only seen pictures of it in a brochure.

It is from a small book on "TurboGrafx Hints and Cheats"...there was a half-page (?) ad for a molded plastic Bonk Head to screw on the top of a joystick (like the TurboStick, or the obscure joysticks in this thread).
