COMMANDER 3 JOYSTICK INTERFACE
Bud Computers' Joystick Interface In Its Box (Front)
"Save your keyboard and enjoy your games much more with COMMANDER 3 JOYSTICK INTERFACE from Bud Computers. This interface allows the use of any Atari-type switched joystick."

- Bud Computers, Back Inlay, 1983


What It Does
The COMMANDER 3 JOYSTICK INTERFACE is a 10cm x 7cm x 2cm creme coloured interface which plugs into the back of the unexpanded ACORN ELECTRON computer. It needs a compatible 'switched-type' joystick and also the tape-based program JOYSTICK PROGRAMMING UTILITY. The interface connects to both Electron and joystick and the cassette must then be loaded before the game you wish to play with a joystick. This procedure allows about 50% of games that originally do not have joystick-compatibility to be used with one.

The COMMANDER 3 JOYSTICK INTERFACE boasts the following on its back sleeve:

*&FCC0 standard Joystick memory position
*Includes software utility for maximum games compatibility
*Custom-made case
*Fully compatible with Auto-fire joysticks
*18 months guarantee
