COMMAND CONTROL

Bat Handle Joystick

CONNECTION:  To  use  your  WICO  COMMAND  CONTROL  Bat  Handle 

Joystick,  sim ply  plug  the  jo y s tic k   cord  into  the  appropriate  control 

port,  exactly as you  would  the  system 's  original  controller.

The  Bat  Handle  Joystick  is  recom m ended  for  use  with  A tari*  2600,™ 

400™ 800™ Sears Arcade, and Commodore 64™ (and with WICO adaptor, 

Texas Instrum ents 99/4A).

OPERATION: For precise 8-w ay directional control, always position your 

Bat  Handle  Joystick  with  the  base  fire  button  in  the  upper  left  hand 

corner. The Bat Handle’s two fire buttons may not be used simultaneously. 
The  2-position  slide  switch  on  the  base  (see  diagram)  selects  which 

button  is  in  use at any one time.

When  playing  maze  games  requiring  4-w ay  control,  you r  response 
time  may  be  slowed  if  you  move  the  jo ystick  from  one  position  to 
another without  returning  the  handle to the  center position  first.  4-w ay 
control software recognizes only the up, down,  left and  right directions, 
and  cannot  respond  to  diagonal  signals.  By  centering  the  joystick 

before  changing  direction  this  problem   is  elim inated  and  game  play 
is  improved.
