I recently installed AmiKit, with some WHDLoad games, on my USB stick and have been carrying it around and playing from various computers. Although i have two gamepads on my home systems the various friends/relatives and work computers i've used don't have any gamepads/joysticks.

I know i can play using the keyboard but MANY games don't play well that way.

Kim:
Could you add to the lemonamiga database what types of controls each game supports and add the field to the Advance Search?

This way we could search for games that are mouse controllable, or keyboard controllable, CD32 gamepad controllable, etc... Many games can take advantage of more then one type of input.

Examples off the top of my head:
Capone = mouse
Walker = mouse and keyboard
Civilization = mouse or keyboad
Superfrog = joystick

What do you think guys?

BTW:
Current games on my USB stick include Capone, Walker, Zoom (joystick game that plays well with the keyboard), stratego, and Defender of the Crown.

This is a huge job, but I'll keep it in mind for the future! Smile
