Obscure PC Engine hardware

That's most likely made for the Hong Kong market, where lots of PC-Engines / Famicoms were sold on export.

Hong Kong was under British rule and used our PAL TV standard.
Because of our connection with the country most of the imported PC Engine and Mega Drive stuff came via Hong Kong back in the day.

yes, tv terrestial tv in Hk is pal, but most tv since the early 90s or even late 80's are multi standard tv which accepts ntsc via composite video or s video, a few even scart ( most likely sony during mid 90s) which could be rgb enabled but this quite rare

I found these two joysticks on ebay two years ago.  Never seen them before or since then.  They are brand new, but the boxes on both show some shelf wear.  They say PC Engine on them and have the Japanese style controller plug, but the company address is based in NY.

Anyone seen these before?

How much did you pay for this joystick?

Here's something that I picked up in the 90s. I don't know if it's rare or not, but I've never seen another one ...

Literally threw one of those out int he trash yesterday. A dude in Hong Kong was giving it away for free but when I got it it only had Megadrive connections and was f*cking gross.

these joysticks < same with city boy and appollo are poorly designed and not durable at all, cheap at the time,  doubt there last more than a few years, let alone 20 years

The joystick was terrible. The guy listed it on a Facebook group and my friend helped me get it. One look at it and you could tell it was broken!
