Hi Dark,
Yeah, I know what you mean. When the Grue was mysterious you could
imagine anything you wanted to. However, when Infocom decided to start
describing them and even offered a drawing in some of their later
guides it kind of ruined the experience of having something mysterious

Besides all of the things that Thomas said, the biggest problem that I have is
that the code that I found only finds the left stick. I just could not figure

Hi Jim,
Just for your info accessing both sticks on a gamepad is actually
quite simple with DirectInput. The joystates are lX and lY for the
left stick and rX and RY for the right stick. My memory of the correct
VB code is a bit fuzzy but it should look something like this.

That sounds about right. Although, that unit was out more like 8 years
ago rather than 10. However, as far as controllers goes it is getting

I remember when force feedback started to be a thing on the ps 1 it looked
like an interesting extra idea for games, but as it stood it never really
seemed to get much use as it was basically just a vibration switch in the

I always thought it had more

Hi Dark,
Well, I agree that force feedback is definitely one of those features
that has never really lived up to its full potential. It is something
that a game developer could use to add a new and much more unique
experience to any game, but has largely been ignored or misused.
Therefore it
Hi Charles,
Yep. It sure does. Although, one has to install Philips drivers and
software to use the force feedback feature. I haven't had XP for ages
so have been running the Microsoft generic Windows drivers which work
okay, but lack force feedback support for the device.
Cheers!

A handheld game that used force feedback immediately comes to my mind. Lunker

Yes, using force feedback to determine if a car is on the track or in

thanks for sharing this. Definitely quite interesting. The odds of
this ever happening in someone's life time are slim to none, but its

Hi Shaun,
The review I wrote was for the Philips SGC2909 which is the USB
version of that controller. Philips also had a wireless version out
called the Philips SGC-2910 which was the same but was completely
wireless as I recall. Anyway, the SGC-2909 is the one people are
talking about here.

I find this not very likely. Here's why: When player 1 landed on Illinois
Avenue, it should have been bought. Not only is it the most expensive of
that group, but there is a card that tells a player to go directly to it.
This increases the odds of it being landed on. Then, Player 2: Roll:
But being smart about your playing wasn't the idea behind this game; its the

Hi Charles,
Agreed, but the point was the fastest game possible. Not necessarily
the smartest decisions when playing or what would be a good over all
strategy for a typical Monopoly game. The only goal being put forth by
the people in the article was seeing how fast they could finish a

Agreed.
