Re: [Audyssey] Alien verses predator mud
I agree, the regular AVP mud is total crap. It's a shame AVP legend died, that was a much better game. It was almost like the regular AVP codebase wise, but it was more like counterstrike rather than exploration. You had a home base and you grabbed some equipment based on your character build and got deployed to the battle field, which was a different map every time from an open field to a marine ship. You could even ambush people from the ducts, take cover behind things, get into sniping positions, etc. It was kind of fun. But sadly, as seems to be the way, all good muds die in time. -- From: Lindsay Cowell lind...@lindsaycowell.freeserve.co.uk Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 4:03 PM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Alien verses predator mud I played a mud which I found through http://www.mudconnect.com.

Re: [Audyssey] Sryth-The Demonscourge
One thing you have to realize about sryth is that the game master does everything in parts, generally everything doesn't go in at once. The other two stones, for example, haven't been put in yet (see latest update.) There're a lot of loose ends floating around sryth that could use tying up. The gamemaster tends to start something, then either ofrget about it or get distracted and come back to it between months and years later. -- From: Jimmy Odin Kristoffersen jimmy.o...@blindsigtmail.dk Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 1:34 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Sryth-The Demonscourge Ok, what about the stones of dred?

Re: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler.
Hi Ron, Cool! I'm glad to hear that you got your game controller. 67 kills in Puppy 1 eh? Not bad! Playing with a joystick is a bit different and takes a bit of practice doesn't it? I think that it is more fun than with the keyboard though. However I still score better with the keyboard in Puppy 1 in expert mode. BTW I am driving laps in Mach 1 tts. It is just barely working now. Still lots of work, sounds and things like the brakes to put in. But I like it with the steering wheel and peddles etc. BFN Jim ...

Re: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler.
Hi,wow, this sounds just cool! Looks like this controller would be perfectly usable with a Play STation console emulator on the PC, as it has all the necesary buttons and even in similar shapes and places, and 4 more in addition. I would definitely buy it but maybe would prefer to have a look at it first, but well, this doesn't seem to be a possibility... You know, controlling the games in the emulator just with the keyboard is a pain in the budd. The games were not designed for such controls and it's too slow and awkward.

Hi To all, from Ron and Boz. I finally got a chance to pick up the Phillips hand held game controller model sgc2909. The controller looks like this. With the unit facing you. You have the cable plugged into your usb connecter and it is on the top of the unit. There are two flat buttons to the left of the cable one button to the back and there is one directly under that button. Then across the top of the controller to the right of the cable on the right hand edge of the unit are two more buttons and they're located just like the two buttons on the left side of the connection cable. One button above another button. Maybe DJC AKA Don can tell us what these four buttons are and what their functions are. Now looking at the face of the unit. The best way to describe the unit is that we have a left column of buttons, a center column of buttons and a last column of buttons on the far right hand side. Lets take the far left buttons first. These four buttons are your basic four directional buttons. They're triangle shaped buttons. You have your up arrow, which is at the top. Diagonally from this button about three o'clock is the right arrow button, then at the six o'clock is the down arrow button, then at the nine o'clock is the left arrow button. Now we come to the center. You'll feel a slight bubble, this is the visual display. Just to the left is the escape key and to the right of the display is the enter key. Now if you find the display bubble as your center,Just below the display is a group of four buttons in a diamond like shape. The top button is just under the display . This button is the digital analog mode button. I don't think we'll want to play with this button to much. I could be wrong on this since I'm still learning the unit myself. But if you keep coming down from that button you'll see nothing then if you go down a little further, you'll run into another button. This button is the game mouse button. If you get back in between these two buttons, you'll see a button to your left and a button to your right. This makes up the diamond shape of these four buttons. Maybe DJC could refresh my memory on these buttons once again. This takes care of the center column of buttons. Now we come to the far right hand side of the unit. We run into another diamond shape of four buttons once again. But these buttons are round in shape. Now I don't know what these buttons are either. But for an example for puppy one. I have the three o'clock button as my view button and my nine o'clock button as my fire button. This was the only thing I had to do so that Puppy one would work with the flight controller. The one main thing I have to remember is that the two round knobs at the bottom are your joysticks and they are very very touchy. They don't take much to go in the direction that you want to fly in. So for Puppy one, it is real easily to fly past the enemy planes and then you get shot down. GRIN. I did manage to shoot down 67 enemy planes down on the experience level though. So I do have one game under my belt thus far. I now have to work with out back, blast chamber, troopanum, hunter and the new three d velocity flying game. I'll keep everyone up to date on my opinion on this hand controller. But so far I kind of like it. But so far with just puppy one. I like it. So this is my opinion of the flight controller for now.

Re: [Audyssey] Cross Platform Speech Support
Hi Lukas, Correct. Besides a desire to do the game my own way, with my own imagination, etc I've been writing a story that goes along with the game. In fact, I have a couple of different Tomb Hunter game stories in the works. This time I really want to do something that is based on my own merit for the most part. If I want help deciding something such as which speech voice to use I'll ask for it. If I want user feedback on a specific fature I'll ask. however, I've drawn the line between gathering feedback and taking a lot of end user suggestings that may or may not change the course of the game and story.

Re: [Audyssey] Cross Platform Speech Support
Hi Lukas, Smile. Well, with Mac OS X sudden growth in popularity, Ubuntu Linux now firmly rated the third desktop PC operating system world wide, etc it only makes sense that software companies are migrating to cross platform software design. One reason Mozilla's Firefox web browser has taken the web browser market by storm is simply because it is practically supported on every computer in the world. Weather you run a Mac, Windows PC, have a Linux PC, own a surver with Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, etc there is a version of Firefox for you. The number of people using Firefox now is far greater than Internet Explorer which is proprietary and native to Windows platforms. Of course Firefox is open source, and has a wide comunity base. However, over the last two years or so I've seen a shift in polocy with commercial products as well. Just in access tech alone we have seen more and more access products such as text to speech systems go cross platform. I think it is atrend that could continue if companies such as Del continue to prromote Ubuntu Linux laptops and desktops along side there Windows Vista systems. Anyway, that trend isn't limited to sighted computer users. There is a small spike in blind computer users now looking at alternatives to Windows. i know of a handful of blind gamers on this list alone that have gone Mac. I know of even more on the Linux lists that have gone Linux for one reason or another. In both cases the one common problem they share is a lack of high quality games. Up until recently accessible gaming has been almost exclusively a Windows thing. As one of those computer users that use Linux quite a lot I myself want to see accessible games come to the Linux platform. So I have both the skill and the desire so why not do it? Lukás Hosnedl wrote: Wow, I didn't have a slightest clue that there were so many cross-platform engines out there. This is what results from ignorance and lack of interest or research. :-D But yeah, I see, it has more cons than pros for your purpose, so self-voicing is really gonna be a better choice.

Re: [Audyssey] Cross Platform Speech Support
Hi Lukas, Yeah, I have heard some text to speech systems worse than Eloquence. The FreeTTS text to speech system for Java that 7-128 uses in their gamebook drives me up the wall. The E-Speak text to speech system isn't much better. Although since Orca, that's the Linux screen reader, uses E-Speak by default I've learned to tolerate it when I don't have something like Dectalk Access or Cepstral on hand. Grin. Anyway, we are really beginning to get off topic here. So we will have to stear back on topic here soon. Lukás Hosnedl wrote: Then you should hear some of the czech voices out there. Eloquence sounds so much better than anyone of them. :-D Actually, Acapela has just developed a czech voice now that just rocks and puts every other voice out of place. But it's too expensive and responds rather slowly as well. Oh well, but this is getting off-topic I guess. Just to agree that what is good for a screen reader doesn't have to be good for a game. I actually liked Heather pretty much - I checked her out when I was looking at that czech voice of theirs, so I think this is one of the best available choices for the game. So this is 38 reasons to use her already. *grin* Don't know the other mentioned voices myself, so this is perfect for me.

Re: [Audyssey] Cross Platform Speech Support
well i know we are off topic but firefox does not work for the blind mac user at all On 21 Jan 2009, at 15:39, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Lukas, Smile. Well, with Mac OS X sudden growth in popularity, Ubuntu Linux now firmly rated the third desktop PC operating system world wide, etc it only makes sense that software companies are migrating to cross platform software design. One reason Mozilla's Firefox web browser has taken the web browser market by storm is simply because it is practically supported on every computer in the world. Weather you run a Mac, Windows PC, have a Linux PC, own a surver with Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, etc there is a version of Firefox for you. The number of people using Firefox now is far greater than Internet Explorer which is proprietary and native to Windows platforms. Of course Firefox is open source, and has a wide comunity base. However, over the last two years or so I've seen a shift in polocy with commercial products as well. Just in access tech alone we have seen more and more access products such as text to speech systems go cross platform. I think it is atrend that could continue if companies such as Del continue to prromote Ubuntu Linux laptops and desktops along side there Windows Vista systems. Anyway, that trend isn't limited to sighted computer users. There is a small spike in blind computer users now looking at alternatives to Windows. i know of a handful of blind gamers on this list alone that have gone Mac. I know of even more on the Linux lists that have gone Linux for one reason or another. In both cases the one common problem they share is a lack of high quality games. Up until recently accessible gaming has been almost exclusively a Windows thing. As one of those computer users that use Linux quite a lot I myself want to see accessible games come to the Linux platform. So I have both the skill and the desire so why not do it?

Re: [Audyssey] Cross Platform Speech Support
Just great! This should also make the development a bit faster and much less exhausting for you, I think. I just can't wait to see the results and to give you constructive feedback as one who has also seen and played a few of the Tomb Raider games with sighted assistance when the right time and something to base the feedback on arrives. And the alternative system gamers should also be pretty happy. Your projects will be the first really complex and immersive audiogames that are portable.

If I want help deciding something such as which speech voice to use I'll ask for it.

[Audyssey] Philips SGC-2909 Review.
Phillips SGC-2909 Review by Thomas Ward Jan. 21, 2009 Recently there has been a lot of talk about the new Phillips SGC-2909 game pad sold in many retail stores across the U.S.A. It sells on average for approximately $15.00 USD. As an owner of an SGC-2909 game pad myself I can say it is a fair price for this handy little game controller. So why all the talk? When you remove the SGC-2909 out of the packaging you will quickly discover it has a very intuitive design and is quite comfortable to hold for a long period of time. The device is 6 inches wide, four inches long, and has two handles on the bottom for holding the device. Each handle has rubber hand-grips that keeps the device from sliding around in your hand and also adds comfort in its use. In addition to its comfort value the SGC-2909 has a very nice layout of your basic game controls. Starting on the top-left corner you have a four direction POV controller. For games that support POV hat this control allows you to change the direction the player is looking or aiming in most modern 3D FPS style games. To the right of the POV controller is a circle of four buttons. Starting from the top and moving clockwise they are escape, mouse, analog, and select. On the right-hand side of the SGC-2909 we have a circle of action buttons. Starting from the top and moving clockwise we have button 1, button 2, button 3, and button 4. In most games these would be fire controls, run, jump, and other action controls. In the center of the SGC-2909, below the analog button, there is two joysticks labeled A and B. The A joystick moves your character around in the game world while the optional B joystick can perform special aiming adjustments etc. Finally, on the front of the controller is four additional buttons labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. While these can be customized to perform any game action you want I find these make great fire controls as they are easy to reach and squeeze. Perhaps one of my favorite features of the SGC-2909 is the retractable USB cable that comes with the device. When you want to play a game simply pull it out, plug it in a free USB port, and start playing. When you are finished there is a little switch on the front of the controller which allows you to wind the chord back up inside the unit for easy storage. If you do a lot of traveling or just want to store it without the chord in your way you can retract the chord so that only three inches or so is sticking out of the unit at any given time. This is by far my favorite feature of the unit since I don't always keep my controller attached to a PC, and prefer to store them in a desk drawer or laptop carrying case when not in use. If everything I have said is not enough reasons to purchase a Phillips SGC-2909 the price is certainly right. For $15.00 to $16.00 you get a rather handy game pad that seams to work well with every game I've tried it with to date. So far I've tried Troopenum, Rail Racer, Mysteries of the Ancients, Shades of Doom, Puppy 1, and have encountered no serious compatibility issues. I think if you are looking for an inexpensive, intuitive, handy game pad the Phillips SGC-2909 is a good deal. Other game controllers such as the Logetec Rumble Pad costs approximately $30 to $40, and the only feature it has over the Phillips SGC-2909 is force feedback support. If you are willing to do without force feedback support the SGC-2909 could be right for you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi. If you install the software that is on the minidisk supplyed with the controler, you get a profiler program, and the force feedback drivers.

Hi To all, from Ron and Boz. I finally got a chance to pick up the Phillips hand held game controller model sgc2909. The controller looks like this. With the unit facing you. You have the cable plugged into your usb connecter and it is on the top of the unit. There are two flat buttons to the left of the cable one button to the back and there is one directly under that button. Then across the top of the controller to the right of the cable on the right hand edge of the unit are two more buttons and they're located just like the two buttons on the left side of the connection cable. One button above another button. Maybe DJC AKA Don can tell us what these four buttons are and what their functions are. Now looking at the face of the unit. The best way to describe the unit is that we have a left column of buttons, a center column of buttons and a last column of buttons on the far right hand side. Lets take the far left buttons first. These four buttons are your basic four directional buttons. They're triangle shaped buttons. You have your up arrow, which is at the top. Diagonally from this button about three o'clock is the right arrow button, then at the six o'clock is the down arrow button, then at the nine o'clock is the left arrow button. Now we come to the center. You'll feel a slight bubble, this is the visual display. Just to the left is the escape key and to the right of the display is the enter key. Now if you find the display bubble as your center,Just below the display is a group of four buttons in a diamond like shape. The top button is just under the display . This button is the digital analog mode button. I don't think we'll want to play with this button to much. I could be wrong on this since I'm still learning the unit myself. But if you keep coming down from that button you'll see nothing then if you go down a little further, you'll run into another button. This button is the game mouse button. If you get back in between these two buttons, you'll see a button to your left and a button to your right. This makes up the diamond shape of these four buttons. Maybe DJC could refresh my memory on these buttons once again. This takes care of the center column of buttons. Now we come to the far right hand side of the unit. We run into another diamond shape of four buttons once again. But these buttons are round in shape. Now I don't know what these buttons are either. But for an example for puppy one. I have the three o'clock button as my view button and my nine o'clock button as my fire button. This was the only thing I had to do so that Puppy one would work with the flight controller. The one main thing I have to remember is that the two round knobs at the bottom are your joysticks and they are very very touchy. They don't take much to go in the direction that you want to fly in. So for Puppy one, it is real easily to fly past the enemy planes and then you get shot down. GRIN. I did manage to shoot down 67 enemy planes down on the experience level though. So I do have one game under my belt thus far. I now have to work with out back, blast chamber, troopanum,
[Audyssey] Counterstrike mud
Shadow dragon mentioned a mud that played like counter strike, and I was wondering if there are any good muds out there that actually do this. I used to be a counter strike addict when I could see, and other than racing Formula one online against 20 other racers, it remains the most fun I ever had with a video game. If someone did a mud like this properly, it would be amazing to play.

Though, adding that cross platform support isn't the easiest or funnest thing I've done in a while. The Alpha 0.4 engine for MOTA was really stable on Windows, but now that I have switched the code over to the cross platform Genesis engine I'm experiencing a lot of updates and bug fixing for the next few weeks. It is going to take a while to get 0.5 stable for private tester release let alone public release. As for being similar to Tomb Raider I am counting on its similarity to Tomb Raider to be a selling point. Being a side-scroller MOTA won't exactly have all the effect as a full 3D game would have, but there will be other games in this Tomb Hunter series to add additional Tomb Raider style game play.

Re: [Audyssey] Philips SGC-2909 Review.
Hi, Yeah, I definitely recommend holding the chord when winding it back up. If you let it wind too fast there is a chanse you can accidently break the cable. Fortunately, I read some online reviews about this device before purchasing it, and I read someone stating basically the same thing you are experiencing. They had it a couple of days and the cable broke. Most of that is just not being careful when winding it back into the unit. Otherwise it is a pretty nice controller for the price. Che wrote: I bought one of these last year, and it works great, only problem is it has a bad connnection where the extendable cable meets the body. This is probably due to me letting it snap back in place when I wound it up, so I would recommend holding one end while you press the wind button to avoid a similar issue. You can't beat this controller for the price, and lots of rail racers bought one just to play rr with. later, che --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Trenton, True, but I always felt the Tomb Raider side-scrollers were nowhere as good as the FPS games.

Hi, Yeah, I know. The profiler is nicer than the one that comes with the Logitec game pads. Though, I generally don't recommend messing with the profiles. If I tell you an action for MOTA is on button 6 and you mapped something else to that button, oops, you have to figure out which button now has that command, or i have to write a custom profiler for the game that allows you to map the profile for that specific game.

Phillips SGC-2909 Review by Thomas Ward Jan. 21, 2009 Recently there has been a lot of talk about the new Phillips SGC-2909 game pad sold in many retail stores across the U.S.A. It sells on average for approximately $15.00 USD. As an owner of an SGC-2909 game pad myself I can say it is a fair price for this handy little game controller. So why all the talk? When you remove the SGC-2909 out of the packaging you will quickly discover it has a very intuitive design and is quite comfortable to hold for a long period of time. The device is 6 inches wide, four inches long, and has two handles on the bottom for holding the device. Each handle has rubber hand-grips that keeps the device from sliding around in your hand and also adds comfort in its use. In addition to its comfort value the SGC-2909 has a very nice layout of your basic game controls. Starting on the top-left corner you have a four direction POV controller. For games that support POV hat this control allows you to change the direction the player is looking or aiming in most modern 3D FPS style games. To the right of the POV controller is a circle of four buttons. Starting from the top and moving clockwise they are escape, mouse, analog, and select. On the right-hand side of the SGC-2909 we have a circle of action buttons. Starting from the top and moving clockwise we have button 1, button 2, button 3, and button 4. In most games these would be fire controls, run, jump, and other action controls. In the center of the SGC-2909, below the analog button, there is two joysticks labeled A and B. The A joystick moves your character around in the game world while the optional B joystick can perform special aiming adjustments etc. Finally, on the front of the controller is four additional buttons labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. While these can be customized to perform any game action you want I find these make great fire controls as they are easy to reach and squeeze. Perhaps one of my favorite features of the SGC-2909 is the retractable USB cable that comes with the device. When you want to play a game simply pull it out, plug it in a free USB port, and start playing. When you are finished there is a little switch on the front of the controller which allows you to wind the chord back up inside the unit for easy storage. If you do a lot of traveling or just want to store it without the chord in your way you can retract the chord so that only three inches or so is sticking out of the unit at any given time. This is by far my favorite feature of the unit since I don't always keep my controller attached to a PC, and prefer to store them in a desk drawer or laptop carrying case when not in use. If everything I have said is not enough reasons to purchase a Phillips SGC-2909 the price is certainly right. For $15.00 to $16.00 you get a rather handy game pad that seams to work well with every game I've tried it with to date. So far I've tried Troopenum, Rail Racer, Mysteries of the Ancients, Shades of Doom, Puppy 1, and have encountered no serious compatibility issues. I think if you are looking for an inexpensive, intuitive, handy game pad the Phillips SGC-2909 is a good deal. Other game controllers such as the Logetec Rumble Pad costs approximately $30 to $40, and the only feature it has over the Phillips SGC-2909 is force feedback support. If you are willing to do without force feedback support the SGC-2909 could be right for you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler.
Wow, I had no idea iether. I still have ps2 and gamecube controllers lieing around somewhere. I actually have a pc controller, but never have got it to work. I love the idea of the retractible USB cable, so I think I'll just go snatch one of these suckers up and carry it with me and my netbook so I can play RR on the fly. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: Lukás Hosnedl lukas.hosn...@seznam.cz To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 6:41 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler. If only I had known there were converters like this around. Thanks so much for the advice. Just for clarification, how do these things actually work? Are they another small device that you just plug the controller into and it can then be connected to a USB port or so? This would be the very coolest option! :-) Lukas - Original Message - From: Yohandy yohand...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 3:53 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler. You know, you could always use an actual ps2 controller. I got this converter from ebay a while back for around $3 that allows me to do this. so now I play killer instinct on snes emulaters using my ps2 controller. pretty cool actually.

Hi,wow, this sounds just cool! Looks like this controller would be perfectly usable with a Play STation console emulator on the PC, as it has all the necesary buttons and even in similar shapes and places, and 4 more in addition. I would definitely buy it but maybe would prefer to have a look at it first, but well, this doesn't seem to be a possibility... You know, controlling the games in the emulator just with the keyboard is a pain in the budd. The games were not designed for such controls and it's too slow and awkward.

Hi To all, from Ron and Boz. I finally got a chance to pick up the Phillips hand held game controller model sgc2909. The controller looks like this. With the unit facing you. You have the cable plugged into your usb connecter and it is on the top of the unit. There are two flat buttons to the left of the cable one button to the back and there is one directly under that button. Then across the top of the controller to the right of the cable on the right hand edge of the unit are two more buttons and they're located just like the two buttons on the left side of the connection cable. One button above another button. Maybe DJC AKA Don can tell us what these four buttons are and what their functions are. Now looking at the face of the unit. The best way to describe the unit is that we have a left column of buttons, a center column of buttons and a last column of buttons on the far right hand side. Lets take the far left buttons first. These four buttons are your basic four directional buttons. They're triangle shaped buttons. You have your up arrow, which is at the top. Diagonally from this button about three o'clock is the right arrow button, then at the six o'clock is the down arrow button, then at the nine o'clock is the left arrow button. Now we come to the center. You'll feel a slight bubble, this is the visual display. Just to the left is the escape key and to the right of the display is the enter key. Now if you find the display bubble as your center,Just below the display is a group of four buttons in a diamond like shape. The top button is just under the display . This button is the digital analog mode button. I don't think we'll want to play with this button to much. I could be wrong on this since I'm still learning the unit myself. But if you keep coming down from that button you'll see nothing then if you go down a little further, you'll run into another button. This button is the game mouse button. If you get back in between these two buttons, you'll see a button to your left and a button to your right. This makes up the diamond shape of these four buttons. Maybe DJC could refresh my memory on these buttons once again. This takes care of the center column of buttons. Now we come to the far right hand side of the unit. We run into another diamond shape of four
Re: [Audyssey] Philips SGC-2909 Review.
Hi, I got one of these last summer, and never installed the software, so I don't have the profiler or the force feedback drivers. Is there a place where I can download them?

Phillips SGC-2909 Review by Thomas Ward Jan. 21, 2009 Recently there has been a lot of talk about the new Phillips SGC-2909 game pad sold in many retail stores across the U.S.A. It sells on average for approximately $15.00 USD. As an owner of an SGC-2909 game pad myself I can say it is a fair price for this handy little game controller. So why all the talk? When you remove the SGC-2909 out of the packaging you will quickly discover it has a very intuitive design and is quite comfortable to hold for a long period of time. The device is 6 inches wide, four inches long, and has two handles on the bottom for holding the device. Each handle has rubber hand-grips that keeps the device from sliding around in your hand and also adds comfort in its use. In addition to its comfort value the SGC-2909 has a very nice layout of your basic game controls. Starting on the top-left corner you have a four direction POV controller. For games that support POV hat this control allows you to change the direction the player is looking or aiming in most modern 3D FPS style games. To the right of the POV controller is a circle of four buttons. Starting from the top and moving clockwise they are escape, mouse, analog, and select. On the right-hand side of the SGC-2909 we have a circle of action buttons. Starting from the top and moving clockwise we have button 1, button 2, button 3, and button 4. In most games these would be fire controls, run, jump, and other action controls. In the center of the SGC-2909, below the analog button, there is two joysticks labeled A and B. The A joystick moves your character around in the game world while the optional B joystick can perform special aiming adjustments etc. Finally, on the front of the controller is four additional buttons labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. While these can be customized to perform any game action you want I find these make great fire controls as they are easy to reach and squeeze. Perhaps one of my favorite features of the SGC-2909 is the retractable USB cable that comes with the device. When you want to play a game simply pull it out, plug it in a free USB port, and start playing. When you are finished there is a little switch on the front of the controller which allows you to wind the chord back up inside the unit for easy storage. If you do a lot of traveling or just want to store it without the chord in your way you can retract the chord so that only three inches or so is sticking out of the unit at any given time. This is by far my favorite feature of the unit since I don't always keep my controller attached to a PC, and prefer to store them in a desk drawer or laptop carrying case when not in use. If everything I have said is not enough reasons to purchase a Phillips SGC-2909 the price is certainly right. For $15.00 to $16.00 you get a rather handy game pad that seams to work well with every game I've tried it with to date. So far I've tried Troopenum, Rail Racer, Mysteries of the Ancients, Shades of Doom, Puppy 1, and have encountered no serious compatibility issues. I think if you are looking for an inexpensive, intuitive, handy game pad the Phillips SGC-2909 is a good deal. Other game controllers such as the Logetec Rumble Pad costs approximately $30 to $40, and the only feature it has over the Phillips SGC-2909 is force feedback support. If you are willing to do without force feedback support the SGC-2909 could be right for you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
