I was wondering if the guy who had written code for two-button support had sent this code to the software producers.. Such as Origin because Wing Commander would be very awkward without it, if they are serious about producing it for the Amiga And I wonder why Accolade(?) didn't support it in Star Control. It's really too bad this thing isn't catching on.... -JOhn

Here's a bit to start off such a list, I have played three hgames that will let me use my sega-mastersystem joystick work 2-buttoned Line of Fire (US Gold, Licenced From Sega) Turrican (Rainbow Arts) Turrican 2 (Rainbow Arts) Some company should release a stick that functions similar to the sega stick and target it FOR Amiga....Most two button joysticks are only advertised as being used with a certain system (Such as the sega sticks)..I always thought that using a one-button standard was the one major drawback to gaming on the Amiga.

Again I ask: where/how does one acquire a good two-button stick? <GENERIC DISCLAIMER: It's not my fault... >

You can use a Sega Genesis Joystick as a two-button joystick on the amiga. Or you can make your own (Pin 6 and 8 are the switch) Another game that supports 2-buttons is -R.Type

Correction, pins 9 and 8 are the second switch. Sorry...

I got a Star-Cursor 3 button stick that's targeted as a "general" stick, rather than being aimed at certain systems. It has a switch allowing you to select 1, 2 or 3 button operation (anyone know of any 3 button games for amiga? Is it even possible?). Robust as hell (comes with 3-year warranty) and has microswitches throughout, as well as suction cups on the base. Costs about A$60, but well worth it if you want a good joystick.
