On Missile Command, you can type Ctrl-T immed. after startup to switch into Trak-Ball mode. It really grooves with a trak-ball! Unfortunately, I think MC is the only game that really utilized the trak-ball's abilities-- no other game I have offers the same result. Maybe it's Shift-T or something else with a T; it's been awhile. Hope this works for you... Art

I don't of any other games that use the trak ball mode either. Millipede works surprisingly well though in the joystick mode of the trak ball.. -- Walt Hoffman -- Jet Propulsion Laboratory whoffman@jato.jpl.nasa.gov or elroy!jato!whoffman@csvax.caltech.edu Galileo Orbiter Engineering Team -- Real-Time Analyst "Jupiter...it's not just a goal, it's an adventure."
