OOUBLE DRAGON / WICO JOYSTICK
Wico has been producing a dish-shaped lug
on their contact for many years now. When
used with the pink Arrpenol style slide-on
connectors, however, the game develops an
intermittant (joystick) roovement.
a

'!be Anpenol slide-on connector fits into
the dish on the Wico lug. This problem
first started with Atari's DIG DUG and has
been a problem ever since.
OOUBLE DRAGOl has enough problems by
itself without one roore.
