Hey folks,

Long time WC fan, remember playing the SNES port when it was first released and being blown away. Never played the PC versions, and just bought all four via the sale (and Ultima 7 -- also never played this series but was told 7 was a good buy).

Any of you folks out there recommend a good (cheap but reliable, doesn't need to be flashy) gamepad for WC? Would be nice if they could be used for other games or emulators.

Thanks for your input!

You really want a joystick for these games. Logitech sell a cheap one.

I played through Wing Commander 1 and 2 with a Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2. I'm not sure they're still available, but it worked fine for those games. For WC 3 and 4 I stepped up to a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. They're really not that expensive, they list at $30.
