Wireless Turbo Grafx Joystick

[Sinistron]

Here is the "Acemore Freedom 16"-
a clanky 3rd party wireless for US Turbo.
It's all yours Nat!  Probably mail it tomorrow- Monday the latest.
Made sure it worked today- works fine.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone image.

Probably the only existing US-made wireless Turbo accessory.

One question: is it bottom-weighted?

[Kitsunexus]

It looks a lot like this.

[nat]

Except that one's not wireless.

[Sinistron]

lol it's bottom weighted when you put in the 4 aa's.

another thing with this is that it's very easy to forget you have the "on" switch on- and then you go to use it again and your batteries are drained.  I got scared this morning when I saw old batteries crusted to shit inside- but I got 'em out- tried new ones and it works fine- as stated.

Who else has seen this thing? What'd they make like 500 and sell five of them?

[Sinistron]

googling this has only turned up mention of an acemore freedom 16 for the megadrive- a "faulty" one boxed in a warehouse.  :-"

I've never seen one, but it looks kinda cool.  I suppose that it won't work with the normal wireless receiver and requires its own, right?

That's what I'm going to be testing as soon as it arrives.

The turbo/pce got so few 3rd party controllers, it's awesome to find them at all.

At one time, I had about 25 of those things. Think I still have 2 or 3 around here somewhere.

[nat]

I take it you must have bought all that were manufactured, then.

[m1savage]

Heh, all I know is that I bought some boxes of Acemore joysticks and quite a few of them were the wireless ones. I still have some of the Acemore Supersticks (wired ones) in a stack.

Do you just randomly stock up on console hardware for fun?

[m1savage]

I used to do it for fun and profit. Turned out it was fun but not very profitable.
