I can assure you this retro Battlestation is fully operational.

It also includes, not depicted or easily seeable, a sd2iec adapter, an Exos V3 module and a 154i floppy disk.

Time to play some Rainbow Arts classics!

And Bubble Bobble

Quickshot!

The greatest joystick ever made, ever, period. Ever.

Such a classic! I had one with my ZX Spectrum.

They always used to break for us, and we'd have to go back to the trusty Competition Pro:

Mine always misalign after a while, so that I can't get input when I push the stick forward.

I just ordered a sega master system controller, should be fully compatible.

The Competition Pro is great :)

It truly is. Also, IF those micro switches for the buttons ever broke, you could easily replace them.

That statement kinda works with every tech from that era, no?

And those devices came with service/repair manuals as well, what fuses are used, what capacity the capacitors have, ... Unthinkable nowadays
