Do you like playing old retro games..?
I did a lot when I was young. I had a commodore C64 and later an Amiga. I love these games.
The last years I downloaded several times some emulaters and some rom games to play. But on a keyboard it didn't feel the same. So last year on a flea market I found some old skool Joystick like I had in my childhood..
Then the journey started..
But do you think you can just connect these old joysticks to a computer? No way, that is not going to work. So I start searching on the internet. And there are not much which actually work. Untill I found the company : Retronicdesign in Canada.
They created especially for people like me the working adapter to USB.
So see here some info.

I had to buy this. So I exchanged a little bit of Steem to Fiat money, transferred to paypal and today I bought the adapter!!
So now I am waiting for it to ship from Canada to Holland. In the time of shipment I can prepare my emulator and download some nice games.
One of my favorites was:
The great Giana Sisters
I hope you like me post. Let me know if you are interested in a review and some action when I received the product..
Kind regards, Ron
Congrats!! it's been a while since I first exchanged my STEEM for fiat to buy something. It's amazing experience!!
I like playing retro too... Though I like the SNES-styled recent indie games more (the best combination of the old and new)...
Didn't know that these adapters existed... How old do you think the joystick is?

I remember Commodore 64. We used to have it. I was very young then though.

NICE!! I grew up in the Nintendo era so with the Nintendo Wii U I can download all the retro/classic games I used to play as a kid. When my kids try to play them, it is hilarious!!
