[Coco] Two more atari-coco adapters

[jeremy michea]

I would recommend one of the "pistol grip" style sticks. They're pretty 
good for many of the arcade style games out there. I lucked out finding 
one at a Value Village a few years ago for a couple of bucks.

I do think the little black sticks work great for certain games like 
Doubleback or Clowns & Balloons so they do have their place but a good 
digital stick like the pistol grip works wonders for games like mega-bug 
that need more tight control.

I do like Wico sticks though for Atari systems. I played my new homebrew 
copy of Frenzy for the 7800 and it plays fantastic with a Wico Command 
Control stick. Very responsive. In fact I'd choose a Wico stick over the 
stock 2600 sticks any day.
