------ Quick question for the net - I know Missile Command has hidden, built-in trakball support (gotta press control-T to go into trakball mode). Does anyone know of any other games that offer support for the trakball??? -Ray wilmott@topaz.rutgers.edu The Hell Hole BBS - (201) 727-2537 The A.U.A. BBS - (201) 290-1133

Some games work well with the trakball in joystick mode anyway; like millipede and actually MC ain't bad. Even tried it on the 2600 MC. Trakball is pretty useless in some games, though, like pacman. I use the commodore mouse now for a lot of this stuff, which works pretty good in joystick mode, after my trakball started sticking. (I was using the tb as a mouse in some of my programs, but I need two buttons anyway). (I gave up trying to get the mouse to run in proportional mode, too; it is read through the pot inputs, and for some reason works on a commodore but not on an atari.) -Stan
