The real Vectrex (I'm lucky enough to own one) has an analog joystick, with a pretty large amount of travel relative to today's console analog sticks. It feels just about perfect for Minestorm and a few other games, but you would never want to play any kind of maze game or platformer with it (see also: Atari 5200). The iCade spec is digital-only on the sticks, so it may well control worse in some games than the on-screen touchpad (which can translate how far you slide your finger into analog movement). Someone (not me) needs to expand the spec
