AFAIK the Atari 2600 joystick is NOT a 4 way stick. A 4 way stick has either a restrictor inside or is built in such a way, that you can not press two directions (by accident or in any other way). The Atari 2600 is NOT built like that. This joystick can do diagonal directions, making it a 8-way joystick.
