sorry about the picture i took it on my phone,does anyone have any information about these it has the 9 pin-din end like sega/atari,thanks

There's an entry on Wikipedia about it but that says it's for the NES only-I assume the connections will be different.

However we all know Wiki is notoriously crap for information, so be careful?

I had something smiler for the Mega Drive
It had three buttons one both sides and a headphone socket

Same people maybe?

The only other one i can find is for the sega master system and is grey not black

I have one of those!

Still works and recently I cleaned it. I think I may still have the original cardbox, will have to look for it.

I remember using the joystick primarily with the Amiga but I almost swear it worked with the spectrum +2, perhaps it needed some converter cable (also may have that stored somewhere).

I will post pics with my findings!

As promised here are some pictures I took with my cell-phone.

My God, it was 22 years ago when I bought this joystick...

9 pin din on cable's end that's for sure.

Original package only refers to it as 'Joystick' and the picture on it is slightly different (red joystick 'handle' *avoid censorship manoeuvre* and black sticker/white letters instead of orange joystick 'handle' *avoid censorship manoeuvre* and yellow sticker/black letters).

I was right, to use it with the spectrum it needed an adapter cable which I fortunately kept inside the box. Probably it is the same cable required for use with the other systems mentioned.

There are no instructions whatsoever apart from the information on top and sides of the package, although I don't think there are microswitches as the motion of stick and push of fire-buttons feels more like the old membrane type.

Well, I hope this sheds some light on this somewhat confusing joystick (at least to me)
