Well, here's an easy one...

- Which Commodore machine shipped with a 2 fire button joystick, but only one of those buttons was labeled as being functional when used with a C64?

- What was the joystick model?

Well it can't be a Plus 4 or C16, as the joystick ports aren't Atari compatible - I'd hazard a guess & say the VIC 20 ?

That's not the machine I had in mind. Did the VIC20 ship with a 2 button joystick?

Here's a hint... there was no keyboard!

Nope, the MAX still had a keyboard. Here's another hint.. there was no tape or serial ports... It only had an RF & composite video ports, a power socket, two joystick ports and a cart..... port :-)

You got it!

There's a sticker on the bottom of the joystick that states that the second fire button will not function when used with a normal C64.

But the GS supported the second button?

Yes, I believe games like Robocop 2 took advantage of it.
