For Joystick control, you must have at least a 2-axis, 2 button joystick (a 2-axis, 3-button joystick is optimal). For specific default joystick controls, please consult the Help feature within the game. Joystick controls can be customized by using the Options/Control Type/Customize Joystick Buttons menu. If you enter the Options/Control Type section of the game and the only device available is Keyboard this means your system is not recognizing your joystick. If you are experiencing problems with your joystick, we suggest you do the following: 1) Consult the documentation that came with the joystick. 2) Re-calibrate the joystick in the Control Panel/Joystick section of Windows 95. 3) Make sure the game is set to 'Joystick Only' or 'Keyboard and Joystick' in the Banzai Bug! Options/Control Type menu. SPECIFIC JOYSTICK ISSUES Microsoft Sidewinder Pro 3D If you are using the MS Sidewinder Pro joystick, be sure to go to the Control Panel/Joystick section of Windows 95 and calibrate it before playing the game. Also, when calibrating the joystick, make sure the Rudder option is checked. * Before you install the SideWinder 3D Pro software, check the Control Panel to make sure it includes a joystick icon. If not, your game port may not be functioning properly. Refer to your Microsoft Windows 95 documentation for help adding or configuring your game port. V.
