In a secluded warehouse,
on a pier somewhere in Maine,
gagged and at gunpoint,
ldame...@aol.com (LDames1173) frantically made this plea for help:
>Which joystick is good for racing games such as Nascar? LDAME...@AOL.COM
I have found the Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro[1] to be a good all-around stick.
You're much better off with it, though, if you have Windows95. Otherwise, you
can't program it, and most of its extras (hat switch, throttle control,
digital control, and the 4 base buttons) are pretty much useless.
The base feels a little light at times, but that's the only gripe I have.

[1] - The name is very important. Make sure you get the 3D Pro, and not the
regular Sidewinder. The regular stick is cheaper, but IIRC it's a little
2-button job that can't hold a candle to most other joysticks.

There are two major products that come out of Berkeley:
LSD & UNIX. We do not believe this to be a coincidence.
