I haven't played with my MC-10 in years... I did grow up with one and really liked it.

The Zubair(sp?) thing is part of a memory upgrade. I sold a 1040ST to a friend that had one in it. Total memory was 2.5 mb.

Has anyone tried to play this with a Wico command control joystick?

I just can not get the ship to stay in place. I have several Wico and they all behave the same.
I think it has to do with the slider control to center the stick. If you press left or right it actually returns to a different center value for each direction.
That is just how Wicos work.
However, I think these game ports do not have enough dead zone for a center position. Making controls way too touchy.
The only way I can play any of these (meaning pinhead, Falcon, and Hyperblast!) is to use a masterplay interface.
It is just my idea, but i think if the values for making the controls move left or right, up or down were more close to the edges the controls would be better.
As it is I can hardly play.
Not sure how many people donated for this game port, but has anyone else had issue with Wico sticks?

This is a cool game. I really like the A8 version and the Apple II version.
I'll have to consider donating for this title...
