Retro Games Ltd., in partnership with PLAION REPLAI, today confirmed that THEQUICKSHOT II is available now at an RRP of $39.99, bringing one of the most iconic joysticks in home-computer gaming back into players’ hands. This new joystick has been faithfully recreated and precision-engineered for modern retro play.

Originally launched in the early 1980s, the QuickShot II became a staple of home-computer gaming. Now, THEQUICKSHOT II has been rebuilt to deliver the same unmistakable feel players remember, while addressing the limitations of vintage hardware with modern reliability and responsiveness.
Designed to be played, not just displayed, THEQUICKSHOT II features an all-microswitch internal design, delivering immediate, reliable inputs with distinct click points for every direction and its fire button. This ensures precise eight-way control with no dead zones or vague movement, even during the most demanding arcade-style gameplay.
The joystick includes eight action and function buttons, providing full gamepad-style functionality, alongside a rapid auto-fire switch, a defining feature of the original which has now been engineered to modern standards. Stabilizing suction cups allow for confident single-handed play, while refined ergonomics and a generous 1.8m cable make THEQUICKSHOT II ideal for contemporary gaming setups.
Faithful to the original QuickShot II’s instantly recognizable silhouette, grip, and stance, the design has been carefully preserved rather than reimagined. Developed by Retro Games Ltd., whose hardware recreations are known for their accuracy and authenticity, THEQUICKSHOT II has been designed to sit naturally alongside modern retro systems such as THEC64, THEA500, and The Spectrum.
THEQUICKSHOT II is compatible with most popular games and computer systems and is available now at Amazon, at an RRP of $39.99.
