Mega Man Puts the Joy Back Into ‘Joystick’
We accidentally wound up sitting on this story for a bit, and to Undamned, we apologize for that. Nonetheless, "b15sdm" had a Frank West joystick he was trying to sell at the Shouryken.com forums. When that didn't take, he changed it to the "more universal" theme of...

After skirting the razor's edge in Cut Man's stage, we blaze forward to Fire Man's stage (with its music). We start off going through a few corridors with Screwdrivers. There's not much to these when they're all level with you, but they at least make you walk over one...
