Greek Joysticks

The 9-pin Greek Joystics that Refuse to Die

In the 80s, several manufacturers in Greece created high-quality joysticks for the 8-bit and 16-bit home micros. They used hard-plastic shells, microswitch controllers, and professional sticks to build joysticks that were as good as the ones of the arcade machines.

Some of the Greek Joysticks

Almost all the legendary Greek joysticks were manufactured by Anesroussis Control and CMS (Company Micro Systems). Both companies were located in Athens.
