You fail like no else does: Vectrex and Atari 5200 had not analog sticks. They were simply Directional sticks.

Analog sticks = accept different input of direction and angle.

directional sticks = accepts up to 8 directions (4 in the first sticks) and doesn't recognize the angle you're holding.

To sum up, directional sticks are "elongated D-Pads".
