   CP-1 CONTROL PAD ADAPTER - Tired of the old joysticks that only have one
button?  Having trouble finding an old standard joystick?  Well this little
adapter allows you to use any controlpad made for the Sega Genesis(TM)
with your Amiga.  Sega Genesis Controllers are easy to find (any Toys 'R Us)
and inexpensive (about $13 for the SEGA brand).  The joypad and trigger (B)
button will work for any game, and we developed a simple shared library that
other programmers can use to utilize the A, B, C, and START buttons in their
games.  Future games we release will (of course) use these extra buttons.
The registered version of Carnage already does!.  We both are currently using
the adapter with SEGA infrared cordless controlpads on our Amigas.   It is
cool not being tied to the computer during games!

   The ControlPad Adapter only measures about 2.5 x 1.25 x 0.7 inches.  Two of
them will fit side by side in your Amiga's game ports.  And it has NO Cables!
The adapter swaps two wires, locks the select line for the controlpad, and
will even time out after about 25ms to make sure that games that don't
use the ControlPad Library can still read the direction and B (trigger) button
like a regular joystick.  It contains a 16 pin chip, a couple of resistors,
capacitors, and a diode.  I originally didn't want to charge so much for one
of these, but it is very labor intensive (I have to etch the boards myself.)

   The CP-1 ControlPad Adapters are $25 each if ordered before August 31,
1995.  Programmers who plan on using the ControlPad.Library in their software
can contact Joe Carlson at 'j.carlson10@genie.geis.com' for discount
information.

   The 'ControlPad.Library' is freely available for use by programmers to take
advantage of all the buttons offered by the Sega Genesis(TM) compatible
ControlPads.  We don't believe that such an advanced computer should be
restricted to ancient single button joysticks!
