CENTRE BYTES THE PUNISHERS Back when Spectrums were first released, joystick owners were a breed apart. That elite group of computer owners who took their gaming seriously. Nowadays, though, with all new games machines having built-in joystick ports, there's no excuse not to have one But there's such a wide range that it's difficult to choose. Fear not, as the Centre Bytes teams look at all the popular joysticks around, plus some newer and more innovative ones ways to hand out the punishment. SURESHOT DESIGNER Sonmax £9.95 Presumably called the Designer because you have to put it together yourself. It's hard to see the point of this since: a) it's a bit fiddly and very easy to lose some of the components; b) you can only put it together in one design. It would have been better if Sonmax had provided a few extra base designs and some alternative handle grips - then you really would be designing your own stick. Basically, once assembled it's a Sureshot Standard stick and the same criticisms apply.
