What do you think? To be honest: the joystick is MUCH improved (I can see that whole rightbrainy thing/ design sense kick in) but I liked the old steering wheel better...the old steering wheel was steering wheel enough to tell me "steering wheel...oh yeah, driving controller....hey, that other misshappen lump must be a joystick!" ;-) but the new one...I dunno, I see it as some kind of key inside of a circle. When I know it's a steering wheel, I see what kind of wheel you're trying to get at, but...

Try Mondo Pong: http://atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=1932 basically, it halves the amount of time the player is just sitting and waiting, without, say, halving the size of the screen or doubling the speed. (and I mean, two paddles, two balls...seems like a natural to me...and the 1 ball mode could go back to the pretty 2 tone...) -- KirkIsrael@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://kisrael.com "I would have made a good pope" --Richard M.
