Help - Games Controller for Mac?
Posted by: Hawk on 08 October 2004
Any recommendations? I need to buy a usb games controller to plug into a G4 powerbook. Im not an expert gamer (yet) but would like to have a crack at unreal tournament 2004 and Doom 3 when it makes it to OSX
anyone tried one of these? or have any other recommendations?

Hawk nether of these games work well with a controller, they have been developed for mac so that your mouse looks around and fires and your left hand controls movement, in essence there are three actions and only two points on a controller (trust me I tried it) anyho, if you do really want one any HID controller will work but donwload the utterly superb USB Overdrive the only piece of software that actully works, it allows you to assign any key with anything in any application, essential.

Unreal is superb, but I am shit at it after a full five months.
Forget the actual game just get it on line for some serious death action.
I wait in anticipation and hope that D3 actually arrives for mac.

Get online, and get thrashed by 11-15 year old kids, nothing more distressing.
