Does anybody know of a wireless joysticks that will work with the
Commodore 64? I see where Atari made a set of wireless joysticks for
the Atari 2600, but I do not know if they will work with the C64?

Thanks,
John

P.S. My appologies for previously posting this question into another
thread.

The ones I have, "Wireless Remote Video Controllers" made by RGA
international, claim to work with the VIC-20 and C64.

They'll work but unfortunately they're not very good. I've yet to find a
decent wireless joystick solution for the 64.

As a matter of fact I just found a a set of wireless gamepads going
through my stash a few days ago. It is called Quickshot Starfighter 1
made by Bondwell. I'll probably give them a try tomorrow.

I have a wireless adapter which plugs in-line between the joystick
and Commodore and turns any joystick into a wireless one. The
adapter was built in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
