Re: Apple IIgs Futureshock 3D Future Pad

Very true, I've never trusted ads in magazines as proof of a games
existance (Sword of Sodan is a good example).  Is the game a prototype
then?  I assume no box has been found.

Shame we can't hack joystick control into the game, but without knowing
how the game was to be controlled that would be tough.  Someone would
have to go through the code I suppose.
