A couple of things have been written, usually by the same companies that make
two-joystick adapters...  I'm a little surprised that the two-joystick concept
never really caught on.  I remember somebody from Electronic Arts (Trip
Hawkins?) being interviewed by Softline magazine a few years back... the guy
said his favorite machine to design programs for was the Atari, because of
the greater multi-user interaction (the Atari came equipped with two joysticks).
