Ok, so we may have come along way from this.

And yes, this is the bad kid from the classic movie "The Wizard" with Fred Savage.

But I have found now a days Game developers want to (sorry for the loose term) "Emulate" classic games that inspired them. Here is my question.

Why do so few have Keymaps for gamepads?
If you want people to have that Nostalgic feel in a game take that little bit of time and add the keymaps for gamepads. Hell I got 4 gamepads to choose from to deal a fist full of death in my titles that I have on Desura that can use gamepads. sure some games are more point and click like : "Clockwork Man series" (Which I might add is worth getting....not a plug.) . Some games have not much for mapping at all and should have made alittle more effort but other than that. I love all the games here on Desura and would love to see this distributor like the new 360 of Linux/Windows gamers.
Now I know all of you cannot have advanced gamer gampads like this:And yes , I still own one of these.Hope you enjoyed another rant by yours truly.
