Have you ever played a game with a joystick?

 

Yes.  It was okay.  Kinda fun to fly a plane that way.

I played an arcade game with a joystick, but I haven't played a modern game with a joystick.

A loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, lol. I dunno why, but it seems like joystick games are a lot harder than games that require a controller. o.o

Hmmm.....*thinks hard*....ah! Oh....mmm, uhhh....Ooh! No....

 

I'm afraid I haven't! I've only gone as far back as the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and that had a D-Pad. However, I wouldn't mind playing an Atari 2600.

Does the Joystick on the N64 controller count?

[Shulk 8,623]

I... didn't even know that there were a lot of people who haven't used a joystick before. Arcades have them all over the place.

It's okay to play with a joystick on games like Pac-Man where the controls allow for the joystick, but I wouldn't want to play a game like Smash Bros Wii U with a joystick, as that would be very hard, even if the first Smash had a joystick in the N64 controller. But isn't the circle pad an evolution of the joystick?

And Shulk, there are no arcades where I am at, as they have all closed down, and I think arcades are dying a slow death.

I remember playing the arcade Pac-Man game back when I was little. That arcade machine had a joystick, so that counts! x3

[Rinax 473]

Yeah, but I don't remember anything.

They're dying out now, but they used to be a lot more common to find. Even then, a lot of restaurants/amusement parks out here have arcade machines, too, and I'd imagine it wouldn't be much different elsewhere. I was just using that as an example, anyway. I know a few consoles/other TV games that use joysticks. They're pretty abundant, so I didn't think that there would be so many people who haven't used one before.

I had a Dragon Ball Z game that used a joystick and a Pac Man game. Pac Man wasn't bad but the DBZ was weird so it was okay

[AngelTheWeirdStranger 504]

Sadly, no.

My first gaming consoles were the Gameboy and PS2. I haven't been to actual arcades since I don't think they exist in my country. But there are some games at the mall. Never really played one though.

We had the joystick controller for the megadrive. I've played fifa on it

[DragonMaster 1,166]

I've played a few fighting games with a joystick. Dead or Alive, Soul Caliber, and Persona Arena.

 

Honestly, I've never actually played Persona Arena with a normal controller.

[Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) 3,859]

I'm not really into arcades.

[Setrex 1,031]

Yeah it's really cool. We have this Plug-in Play console that has Pac-Man, Dig Dug and a bunch of other classics on it. It's pretty fun using one.

I have only played it with Smash Bros Brawl and I found it the best way to play it that way. I can't really say whether it was the best or not.

I played an arcade game in the cinema. Star Wars. It was great!
