Game Cards...

Hello...I am waiting for an L4 card to be delivered. the company (ACT Labs now) is not giving me a specified shipping date. Is there another game card worth looking into? Surely they must not be the only one on the market. I would be interested if there was. Thanks... Dave C.

There are rather old gamecards by CH, Gravis and Thrustmaster. My Diamond MX300 has a quite good game port - at least it outperforms the CH card. Jari Jokinen David Ciemny wrote in message <8ckbvo$44i$[email hidden]>...

Now this is a topic that is of great interest to me. Way back when.........I had a SB16 Value card and put a CH Gamecard 3 along side it after getting tired of the touchiness of the SB's gameport. Back then it was a daylight to dark comparison. I immediately noticed an improvement and fell in love with the CH card and still use it exclusively to this day. I have since upgraded to a SBLive Value card long ago and have never even considered plugging a game cotroller into it's game port. Should I? It would be nice to get rid of that old ISA iron horse but I just can't imagine a sound card gameport giving me the satisfaction that old programable CH card has. Have sound card game ports gotten that good? Jari Jokinen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ckp2f$q8f$[email hidden]...

{My apologies if this shows up twice. After sending it the first time I didn't see it and this is something I would REALLY like to have some feedback on.} Now this is a topic that is of great interest to me.

The LIve's gameport is very very smooth. I see no need for a gameport now that I use the Live, and I used to use the CH gamecard all the time. Take the CH card out and give it a try, you might be suprised. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends "Racer88" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4gpH4.86337$[email hidden]... > Now this is a topic that is of great interest to me.
