I always wondered why Atari, back in the day,

I always wondered why Atari, back in the day, sold this in Europe and not in the US. While I love the CX40+ joystick, i also enjoy the option to play my favorite games with the CX78+ Gamepad.

Nice controller, I wish it was slightly bigger but it's not too small by any means. I love that the joystick unscrews, so you can use it as a d-pad which is better for some older games. I will say I occasionally get a combined input when I'm intending to move in a certain direction, but that is likely due to how small it is and my fat fingers. Works great on my original Atari 7800, and other reviews indicate that it works well on the newer "plus" systems as well. Glad I got these!

Hard to find reproduction, nice!

Atari made a great move to bring these controllers to the US, no more scouring on eBay for an original European 7800 controller for marked up prices. Great controller for the era of Atari.

Decent controller for the $! While the buttons

Decent controller for the $! While the buttons are a bit far apart, & the D pad isn't always super precise, it usually gets me through the tough spots in games just fine!
