One thing your post reminded me of was an article I remember reading in Atari Age that explained how to hook your 2600 joystick up so that it would work left handed (that is, butting the fire button at the top right). I quickly opened it up, just as the magazine told me, and moved the wires around. You just don't see that kind of thing in gaming magazines these days. At least not without the "WARNING: This voids your warranty" label. And _Atari_ told you how to do it back in the day. Any Atari Age nuggets in the upcoming Cyberpunks CD? Try and get that Dr. Salk pamphlet advertisement that had a couple of sample front pages pictured from his child psychology publication; it's how I found out Santa wasn't quite as real as I'd come to believe! Wish I still had those. I'd sue. ;) Ruffin Bailey | Write Atari 2600 games on your PPC Mac! rufbo at bellsouth.net | http://members.aol.com/mactari -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
