RE: Battlezone centering bellows??

snicker. The set we got must have come after that incident, as the
instructions said something about installing them in the correct position.

Isn't it wild how putting your games in front of friends really brings out
their deficiencies? (the games, not the friends...well, sometimes
both...;) I had a pair of non-original joysticks in a <insert raster game
name> that got the hell beat out of them by a friend at a party. Needless
to say, I managed to scrounge up the proper "long" shaft Wico sticks
afterwards.

I was going to ask a question about some of Tom's other stuff, but I better
save it for the rasterlist.
