It isn't exactly new.
Not sure what good it would be except maybe during an earthquake.
Besides, the software has to be written to use it, and I don't believe any TR game used it.

No TR game supports this kind of joystick, so if connected it will work like a regular joystick.

Besides, I think it΄s way strange to use joysticks with TR. I prefer the keyboard.
But you could try a gamepad, which should work fine.

Ive gad that Joystick for about 3 years, I prefer the Keyboard for TR.

The Force feedback Joystick works good for Need for Speed 4.

I first tried a promotional one when touring san francisco in 1998, an thought is was expensive but 'literally' responsive!!!!!

it was kinda like the real thing.

i'd like to get it when its price decreases -it was 179.99 back then.
