I haven't seen Crystal Castles, but from what I hear the mouse/joystick
option is very nice.  I really like Michtron's Major Motion but it only
works with the mouse and I'm destroying the mouse by playing.  One guy wore
the feet totally off the mouse because he had 6 kids who played it
continually.  Does anyone know anything (Alex?) about the possibility of
using one of the optical mouse systems (by MouseSystems or others) with the
ST?  I've used them with the IBM's and they seem much more durable and much
smoother.  One would need to get a different connector, but is it possible
to do so easily?  Thanks . . .
