Hmmm listened to his interviews. Im still not convinced about this product as its a very very expensive joystick. The guy doing the interview was so gushing about the product it was almost sickly to listen too

I think it has the Spectrum version of my Sudoku game on it. I did give permission.

Now if somebody made a cpc in a joystick I would give permission for my CPC version of Sudoku to go on it :)

The keys are funny.

Which one is yours? Was it the one I was playing the other night? The fist time I have ever actually enjoyed Sudoku, but that is the power of the cpc guess!
