PRO ACE<br />
le PRICE: 111.95<br />
For some strange reason the Pro Ace is<br />
very pleasing to look at. I just happen to<br />
hike the black matt finish set off by the<br />
rather big red (no pun intended) fire<br />
button.<br />
But that's about all there is really. The<br />
whole thing is sturdily built and will no<br />
doubt last but was almost immobile,<br />
rnalarog response time quite slow.<br />
The whole thing was also a little<br />
raloomfortable to hold in the hand, all<br />
angular edges flitting mto the palm. A<br />
miss with the tizy.<br />

GUN SHOT<br />
CY „Pretty much a standard too<br />
;joystick, with four suckered feet<br />
rim anchoring to the table for all those<br />
Unportant moments.<br />
It has two fire buttons, one on top of<br />
the mall( and the other on the base. It<br />
also has autofire option if you really<br />
want your enemies to bite on a stream<br />
of bullets<br />
The stalk is smooth, so if your hands<br />
tend to become a little sticky then<br />
there's a chance it could slip.<br />
Overall, the ioystick peforms well<br />
and has the mark of durability about it.<br />

' le PRICE: 115.95<br />
Odd shaped and sturdy looking, the<br />
fltte is a disappointment when you get<br />
grips with it<br />
The shape makes it very<br />
mfonable to hold and the auto-fire<br />
button has to be held down all the time.<br />
We even bound it up with shay tape to<br />
keep it blasting away.<br />
