Is the whole joystick missing, or just the little football from the top of it?

If the whole stick is missing, that means the game has been opened (or very violently played...) If it was opened, might have been because there's something wrong with it...

Under the joystick is an X shaped piece of plastic that you would also need. If you can see the game, look inside the hole (assuming completely missing joystick) and look for the 4 metal rectangles that the joystick touches to activate the movement. If these look damaged, they'd have to be replaced... For a Pac-Man (which is fairly common), probably not worth the effort unless you just enjoy resurrecting games... Smile Or if the game looks really good (all stickers, etc), it might worth $20 anyway...

I have an extra joystick (and probably the X shaped thing) if you need it. Just let me know if you get the game and I'll send one out to you.
