MSXdev24 sponsoring – Pixel Memories Pasoko-1000 Tribute Joystick
The joy to wiggle sticks
The MSXdev24-Winners-Loot-Box has been graced with a new treasure: the Pixel Memories Pasoko-1000 tribute joystick from Stand Up Gaming, a homage to the iconic joystick of the eighties.
Operating under the brand Pixel Memories, Chris Brooks crafts an array of retro gaming memorabilia utilizing contemporary methods and tools such as 3D printing. Chris has already contributed a Pixel Memories piece to the MSXdev24 prize pool and has now added another, with his most recent creation being a replica of the Sanwa Pasoko-1000 joystick—a tribute piece that any winner would be thrilled to receive.
The Japanese joystick manufacturer, Sanwa Denshi Corporation, which remains active today, specializes in premium joystick components for gaming cabinets and has also launched their own custom joysticks. Among these is the 1985 Pasoko-1000, a multi-machine joystick notable for its stick and two-button configuration. In homage to this classic joystick, Pixel Memories has crafted a replica compatible for both MSX and C64 computers, utilizing the original manufacturer’s parts. The result is a stunning piece of retro hardware.
Stand Up Gaming’s Pixel Memories products evoke the nostalgia of classic gaming days through a variety of forms and formats, including dioramas, lightboxes, and joysticks. A real treat for any retro gaming enthusiast. The addition of the new joystick series to their lineup is certain to garner even more interest in the initiative.
Having one of these Pixel Memories Pasoko-1000 joysticks in the loot box leaves no excuse not to enter the competition, as this wonderful MSX-exclusive hardware is a must-have. Thanks to Chris for this exceptional contribution to the list of sponsored items!
