[MG] Desktop Games

[Gregory Davis]

I recently got "incoming" from Mac play.  It is a defend against the aliens
game and I haven't had time to explore it much since I can't get it to
recognize my CH products flightstick pro or thrustmaster game pad.  I
haven't messed around much with the mouse for the controller, which would
probably work just fine, but I've got this expensive joystick and I want to
use it.
