Oh the Joust controls are non-useable anyway. What I meant was
basically to build your own. Robotron just uses standard leaf switch
8-directional joysticks, which you can find used for a couple bucks or
brand new in the 10-20 dollar range. Mount a couple at a comfortable
distance into a piece of plywood the right size, add a couple of buttons
for starting the game and you should be good to go.
