Why stop at two joysticks?
According to the Windoze 95 joystick configuration applet, up to 16 joysticks
can be calibrated. Does this mean that it's possible to expand the PC to take
that many joysticks?
16 player games would be cool (assuming you can find that many people wanting
to play your game). I remember that on the Atari STE, it was possible to
connect 8 joysticks, and I have even written 3 ST games myself that are for 0-8
players.
Just out of interest, what sort of cards enable you to use more than one
Joystick? My SB16 only has one joystickport.
