ABSTRACT:
A manual control device for use as a joystick with a amusement machine has a control lever tiltably mounted on a support plate by a bearing and a detecting mechanism for detecting a tilting displacement of the control lever to control a displayed character or object in a video game played on the amusement machine. A stimulus imparting mechanism is actuatable depending on how a video game played by the amusement machine develops and moves the control lever to impart a stimulus through the control lever to a game player of the video game. A resistance imparting mechanism is actuatable depending on how the video game played by the amusement machine develops and imparts resistive forces to the control lever against forces applied by the game player to move the control lever.
