I just bought Tomb Raider:Chronicles and would like some info on what others use to control this game (besides keyboard). Any other suggestions for other games also welcomed.

Thanks

The Gravis xTerminator looks great, is cheap, and gets decent reviews.

Here's another vote for the gravis. The usb version was $20 bucks.

Well, I have had lots of joysticks over the years!
The best ever was the Kempston Competition Pro- still have it working after 15 years.

On a more practical level, I have a Saitek stick and I think the cyborg looks good. But I have plugged in a Gravis Digital Extreme because it seems to do anything and was not too expensive.

Gravis Gamepad Pro :) It's the only gamepad I've ever wanted or needed, if I were to have to get a new one the only thing I'd change is I'd go for the USB one (mine is like 2.5 years old and is gameport)

I saw a new Thrustmaster gamepad with dual analog sticks, a slew of buttons and dual force feedback "motors"...and it's USB. If not, I've only read/heard good things about the Gravis xTerminator gamepad, either the regular (analog/joystick port) or, even better, the digital version (USB).

For a gamepad...I like the Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad because it's recognized by almost all the games, very cool gamepad!
