Kim Holviala developed a simple joystick interface back in 2011; haven't heard much from him recently though. It'll be interesting to compare the two approaches.

That's super exciting! I can't say that I'm aware of any 2 player games as you say. I can't wait for details of your interface though.

I have been using it on the "Frogger" and "Fenix" games in lieu of using the keyboard for left, right, up, down movements. It works well for this and is more instinctive than using four fingers on the keyboard. My question though: Is anyone aware of an interactive ModelT game (that was worth playing) that was two person, each using keyboard keys for movement, while playing at the same time? I know that the ModelT computers are NOT a good interactive game platform, but I am debating whether to support two joysticks, or just one and a paddle controller on the interface box. As Willy Wonka was fond of saying ..... "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men". So being able to play a game once and a while helps to break the tension of the day. Any advice would be appreciated. Regards, Peter
