A control pad with two input ports (92, 94) for establishing a connection with two three-axis input devices (10, 66; 74, 76; 82, 84) permits six-axis game play. The control pad (64; 72; 80) contains a microprocessor (120) which determines whether one or two three-axis input devices are connected thereto and generates an address signal for communication with a game console (86) to inform a microprocessor of the game console on power up of an exact nature of peripheral input devices which are attached. A thumb-operated rotor assembly (18) is fitted to a top of a joystick (14) for z-axis control and thus allows single-handed three-axis control of computer games through the joystick. <IMAGE> |
