What exactly do I have here?

I have two of these from a VERY long time ago. I have no doubt they are collectible, but I have no clue as to what the asking price should be. I have googled to the last on these and there is literally zero reference. Can anybody help?

You have nice collection of Turrican 2 and its Joystick for the C64.
No idea how much it's worth though.
Lemon or such C64 fan sites might have more info
Also, try the European eBay sites, where the C64 had a longer life in the hands of homebrew coders.

And with 30 secs of research there's a copy the same as yours on eBay.de for 249

Wow. Loved Turrican 2 on the c64 but never realised there was an official joystick.

I wonder is there a second button on the stick for the gyroscope instead of pressing spacebar?

I was going to say a really terrible Joystick! I had no idea it existed but looks very 'cheetah-like'. Must have been a continental release only. I owned the boxed versions of both as I was a huge Turrican fan and would almost certainly picked up one of these if I saw one!

Thanks, never thought to try other ebay domains. €249 though, I saw that myself earlier, he's asking a lot surely?

I've nothing to compare it to, so I don't know.
I'd look at German retro sites, especially with sales forums of their own, might find what you are looking for there
Alternatively register with one of them and ask how much they're worth, I think they have a world wide user base so English should be fine to converse in.

looks like some sort of arcade playten style jobbie?

Demo System used in Kiosks in Game Shops. You could Demo up to 6 games without changing carts.
Could be quite valuable, I have only seen one for sale before but the selling price was undisclosed.

No don't own it, saw it on another thread, but looked interesting and was sure someone here would know what it is.
Dev kit is a high possibility alright,

That's quite a bizarre item. I've never seen a C64 and Amiga version of the same game sold together in one package .... especially not with a free joystick thrown in!
