Actually, is one of central points that the atari doesn't have
enough signals to read 4 joysticks w/ fire buttons?  That, to me,
would seem to have more potential than 4 driving controllers, if 
it was doable.  

Though I think if I'm serious about trying to write 4 player games,
I might have a better time of it getting my feet wet in the Dreamcast
homebrew scene...I don't know if they have their own helpful Thomas 
or Paul though ;-)
