8 Fire Button Digital Gamepad  
Your RadioShack 8 Fire Button Digital Gamepad lets you take control of the  
latest computer games! The gamepad’s long cable makes it easy to use it  
with your computer. The gamepad’s advanced features include:  
Thumb-Control Pad — allows precise control in eight directions.  
Eight Control Buttons — give you the flexibility you need to play games with  
multiple controls.  
Master Turbo/Automatic Fire Selector — lets you fire a continuous or single  
high-speed blast.  
COMPATIBILITY  
Hardware — Your gamepad works with IBM® and compatible PCs equipped  
with a joystick port, using the industry-standard 15-pin D subminiature con-  
nector. Joystick ports are also available on game cards and enhanced sound  
cards.  
Important Notes:  
To take advantage of all of your gamepad’s features, you must have a  
game card with a single dual port installed in your computer. (A dual-  
port game card is designed to run two 2-button joysticks or gamepads  
at the same time (using a Y-connector)).  
You must have DirectX® 5.0 or above installed on your computer to prop-  
erly test the gamepad with the included driver. If necessary, you can  
Software — You can use your gamepad with Windows 95 or 98 and any PC-  
compatible software that supports a gamepad.  
Note: The function of each of the gamepad’s buttons depend on the game  
you are playing. Consult your game’s owner’s manual for more information.
