The Atari SLIK STIK from Suncom | Among the BEST 2600 9-pin Controllers!

In the early '80s a company called Suncom manufactured this unassuming little 9-pin joystick for the Atari 2600. It doesn't look like much, but with its solid steel shaft, ball-top, and low profile, the Slik Stik is one of the most accurate and durable third-party controllers available for the 2600 (and compatibles).

Let's clean it up and give it a test to see why so many players swear by this little controller. #atari #retrogaming #joystick #genxgrownup - LINKS (relevant links mentioned in video) - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 SFGE Flea 01:29 Starting Place 02:47 Dismantling 04:14 Cleaning 05:09 Assembly 05:46 Cleaning II 07:40 Clean & Ready 08:28 Play Test 10:14 Summary
