can anyone suggest a good, cheap arcade style joystick (not gamepad or sidewinder-like controller) for the PC

[wallly]

you know, the kind with an actual stick in the left hand, and buttons to the right of the joystick like in the arcades? kinda like the old-school super nintendo joysticks (not the gamepads)? i want one to play some games on MAME.

I have a Gravis stick that's similar to what you want but I don't think it's made anymore. It's called the PC Pro I think and it did have some buttons on the stick itself but it also had 2 big buttons off to the side.

edit: The buttons on on the left side though and you wanted right.

Here are some candidates I've found:

ACT LABS - PowerRamp Arcade Stick for PC (Discontinued)
Twinshock (Needs converters)
