This looks like a neat game, but I'd love to know if you need the 3DO Flight Stick Pro Controller to control the game-or at least, to have good control??

While VR Stalker does support the Flightstick Pro, it isn't mandatory to play it (I'm not aware of any game that only plays w/it actually)

Btw, don't let the neat looks fool you ... VR Stalker, imho, is awful.

Gotcha, I will avoid that one. But what, more specifically, is wrong with VR Stalker? I found this footage on Youtube, and apart from looking boring, it doesn't seem to have any major issues:

My main issues w/VR Stalker (besides being a rather ugly game to look at) is that it is just plain dull and prompts no replay value at all.

Now Flying Nightmares I give more credit ... at least it was ambitious. Impossible to play, but ambitious. VR Stalker seems to have its sights set on mediocrity.

But who knows, you may like it. I know a member who used to come on this forum who loved it. For me though, it is bottom of the barrel.

How are Scramble Cobra and Space Shuttle??

Space Shuttle isn't really a game. It does have one very basic mini game type part, but it is mostly a reference disc (I guess what is known as edutainment) It has loads of info, but the bulk of it would probably only excite someone who was really into NASA. Otherwise, it is an interesting curio. Collector's only need apply with this one.

Scramble Cobra is pretty good. (although I admit I haven't spent that much time with it) If you like Shockwave, I think the engine is very similar. It is also a much more reasonable in difficulty if I remember correctly. Worth checking out imho.
