No, it's a specific joystick called The Shaft. I didn't notice until now but it does have a listing on Amazon. Of course it's not in stock. The website that formerly sold it was wiishaft.com.

The website that was devoted to this product is now gone. They were the only place I knew of that was selling it. Does anyone know if it's in stock anywhere at all? Like, maybe the site's remaining stock got liquidated to some retailer? Nothing came up on Google.

Well coincidentally, I happened across a pennied game today: Thayer's Quest. It wasn't marked a penny, it had an old price tag on it. Actually I've noticed that my GS has a strong tendency to have non-current prices on their PC games. Anyway I bought it without issue. It's not exactly a...

An acquaintance of mine who worked at Gamestop mentioed in passing that sometimes they penny out PC games. He told me it was stuff nobody buys, like extremely unpopular MMO's, super-obscure adventure games, and fluff like Marvel Comic Creator (which he specifically named as something that had...

I looked for this game at Toys R Us, Best Buy, and Fry's, and none of them had it. :(

I used to play my DC in VGA, but my new monitor won't accept the signal. I guess some LCD monitors just don't like what the Dreamcast outputs?

Home Star Runner has a couple Wii games. They get old quick, but they're funny.

That is awesome.

That Nyko one looks pretty sweet. I just might get it.

I bought it, but haven't played it yet. Tomb Raider Anniversary (in concept) didn't really interest me... until I found out about the Wii version. The main complaint about the Wii version seems to be that its camera controls are wonky compared to other versions. To me that's really no big...

Looks good. Bonus points to Team 17 for the Bowie reference.

I can't get my Wii online with the USB connector. The software is fine, and my system shows up correctly. The setup on the system works fine until the connection test. I get an error at that point. The error is 52140, which says "unable to connect" or whatever. But in their software, my...

I just bought the Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training. But since I like to throw my money away... :P

Have you not heard of Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon? I think it sounds interesting anyway...

I have heard of and seen online (though never actually seen in person) several third-party devices similar to the Zapper. They tend to appear significantly different from the Zapper in terms of shape. This one looks neat. Are any of these worth bothering with?
