The vectrex is not and never was a thumbstick the idea of a thumbstick didnt even exist back then, maybe the vectrex joystick gave birth to the idea of a thumbstick. The vectrex is my first and favorite console and i´ve played the hell out of it. 99% of the games use the 1 and 2 as main buttons and if you tried to use that joystick as a thumbstick you couldnt reach 1&2. 1. Nintendo made the transition from joysticks to joypads for consoles with the nes all big consoles before had joysticks. 2 Nintendo made the first thumbstick for joypads and the first digitial too.
Edit: the closest thing to thumbstick back then was the tac-2 joystick Edit 2: Nintendo even had sn plastick add on for the nes which made the d pad a thumbstick. |
Explain that to Torillian, he provided the Vectrex video. You may want to quote this post and reply directly there.
