Product Synopsis
«©NCS»
Before Hori took over de-facto production of third
party controllers, memory cards, and accessories in
Japan, ASCII was the king of the realm. In the 80s
and 90s, the company commanded a healthy market
share for Famicom, PC-Engine, and Super Famicom
accessories.
Today, we offer PC-Engine joysticks that were originally released
by ASCII in November 24, 1990. The base of the
controller measures 7 3/4 x 6 5/8" and the
lollipop-style joystick rises up about 2" from its
foundation. Similar to a standard PC-Engine control
pad, the ASCII Stick Engine features a turbo-fire
function for the buttons but the level of turbo may
be adjusted with by twisting two dials for button 1
and 2. To the immediate right of the turbo dials are
Slow, Select, and Run buttons.
The joystick is non-clicky and moves around with nary a sound. The
buttons are springy and offer a tactile response to
your pressing and occasional mashing. The cord
measures approximately 5" and is approximately an
extra foot longer than the cord on a standard
PC-Engine joypad. Please note this controller is
only for use with a Japanese PC-Engine Core Grafx,
PC-Engine Duo, and USA Turbo Duo consoles. The
controller is not compatible with the USA
Turbo Grafx 16 due to the different controller port
used on the console.
Inventory Condition
All stock is new from NCS inventory but please be advised that
there is slight weathering of the outer cartons from

brand new and opening up the cardboard carton will
release the fresh scent of plastic and styrofoam.
