   Do #retro-gaming people still enthuse over the Gravis Gamepad?

         @guizzy Come to think of it, I heard a lot about it back when I played DOS games like Jazz Jackrabbit, but I haven't heard nearly as much since the WinXP era started in the early 2000s.
         
         I was just thinking about Jazz today and it brought back all the glowing praise (and of course, the people behind Jazz recommended it for their game).

            @lnxw48a1 It was pretty much the de-facto gamepad for PC, saw it plenty of places. It had a horrible little stick you could screw on top of the dpad that made it into the least comfortable arcade stick too

               @geniusmusing @guizzy Shared the link with the kids. It sparked a conversation ( on #Wire ) about which old games we remember. Surprisingly, the youngest ( #Daddy_A ) remembers more games than the older kids.
