Well anyone out there who grew up in the 80s I'm sure would appreciate those old arcade games that u can now get on those Plug n Play joysticks, but u know what they say - u get what u pay 4. I have all 3, but I've had problems with all of them as I'm curious if anyone else has noticed:

Ms. Pac-Man joystick - on the game itself, the joystick sometimes goes haywire. U move left and it goes right, or u move up and it goes down, etc.

Pac-Man joystick - none of these games are the originals! The graphics, and certainly the sounds, are not the same as the original arcade versions

Atari 2600 joystick - stiff and hard 2 move. Breakout is especially hard 2 play.

To answer the first problem you have, with the Ms.Pac-Man game. just stand on your head and the directions will be fine

I have the Ms. PacMan joystick and have been playing for a few weeks (addicted). So far no real issues but I notice occasional the directions aren't as sharp as they could be but that's always been the issue with PacMan for me. I suspect eventually it will start to short out on me.

I had the Atari 2600 joystick, and it went haywire on me the very first day. I took it back but found out that the store didn't carry that particular one anymore. Coincidence? I think not!
