Greek Joysticks

The 9-Pin Greek Joysticks That Refuse to Die

In the 1980s, several Greek manufacturers produced remarkably durable and high-performance joysticks for 8-bit and 16-bit home computers. Built with hard plastic shells, microswitches, and arcade-style sticks, these joysticks rivaled the quality of those found in professional arcade machines.

Legendary Greek Joysticks

Most of the iconic Greek joysticks were made by Aneroussis Control and CMS (Company Micro Systems)—both based in Athens. Today, these joysticks are considered collector's items and continue to be admired for their craftsmanship and reliability.
