My first game was Ultima III, purchased from Crown Books. I went on to follow Origin closely but then got caught up in Gunship 2000. Once the X-wing series came out I had a full CH products HOTAS. I remember you had to solder a wire in the Throttle to keep it working with X-Wing Alliance. It was all serial type connectors on your sound card. It all went in a garage sale years ago. Star Citizen is exciting! I'm going to have to learn to use a joystick again. Hi all I'm shabad.
