They're the same...
I know that Commodore made their own joysticks, bu everyone I knew during
the C64's heyday simply used Atari 2600 sticks.

Can't you use Spectrum joysticks too??
Or how about Sega Megadrive or Amiga CD32
pads?? I know it would depend on which pins
were used for button and direction detection
but they might work...
I hate using joysticks these days.

Spectrum and a few others I believe. A lot of the systems in the 80's
seemed to use the same Joystick.

Do the Amiga CD32 pads work? I simply *ASSUMED* they would be wired
differently, I didn't bother to try to plug it in. There was actually one
sitting in the box with the cables and drives (as well as part of the parts
for hooking up my Amiga 500. I have Sega Megadrive (Genesis)
controllers at home as well. I'd never thought about them either (just
Googled to see what the Megadrive was and check if it would work).
Uh, Oh... Looks like you don't want to use an unmodified Sega controller,
as you can burn out your CIA Chip.

I found indication online that the CD32 pads should work, however, I
can't get any of the fire buttons on the one I have to work. The
directional part seems to sort of work, but I had to use the space
bar to fire in the game I was playing.
