Paddles for Commodore VIC20/C64 and Amiga.
Just a quick one as curiosity got the better of me after watching the latest podcast so I just had to try my Commodore VIC20/C64 paddles on the Amiga with Arkanoid.

I even tried getting into the game with the mouse connected and then once into the game, swapping the mouse out for the paddles. The only movement here is when clicking one of the paddle buttons which causes the bat to move left slightly with each click.
Maybe if the paddles were plugged into the second port, the one normally used for the joystick and the game supported it, they may work.
Thanks for investigating, Gary!
Nice find, they look in great condition either way
thanks, gary. i hope there is some games that will work.
