Classic Game Room reviews POINTMASTER for ATARI 2600

Classic Game Room reviews THE POINTMASTER joystick controller for the Atari 2600 video game console system. The Atari 2600 VCS was a very popular game system since its release in 1977 and had numerous 3rd party add ons and accessories created specifically for it. This joystick controller called the POINT MASTER is from Discwasher! Don't they make disc washer devices???? Well... ok. Whatever. At some flea market or garage sale back in the day I came home with a POINTMASTER and played it a few times. I tried it again recently and don't care for this controller much. It is more like a flight stick with the arcade style button on the top of the grip stick joy stick thingy. It wobbles, falls over and is fairly useless. However, it gives a great look at the amount of accessories and peripherals that were created specifically for the Atari 2600 back in the day, even in the 1980's!
