I bought a DC mouse for .99 now what can I do with it besides use it on the net and play quake?

Makes Outtrigger a helluva lot easier. I think Alien Front Online may use it too, but I could be wrong.

Unreal Tournament supports it, as does Silent Scope.

not Alien Front Online (least that's what the box is telling me)

I'm pretty sure it also works with some of the games on Atari Anniversary Edition, as well as Rez, Confidential Mission, and maybe House of the Dead 2.

It's mostly there for Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tournament, and the web browser... but there are a handful of other games that use it, most of which have already been mentioned. Playing an FPS with a keyboard and mouse is the ONLY way to play. How on earth you guys managed to enjoy Goldeneye with an N64 controller is something I will never understand.

There are a number of homebrew releases that use the mouse too. ScummVM will greatly benefit with a mouse for example, so will the FPS games like Quake and Doom (although I always preferred the cursor keys for Doom myself).

I could have sworn Chu Chu Rocket could be played with the mouse (which, in this case, would be especially appropriate :) ), but it doesn't mention this on the back of the case, so I guess I'm wrong. The game does, however, support the keyboard.

By the way, the mouse support in Rez sucks moose balls. When I first realized that Rez supported the mouse, I thought "Wow! This is going to be awesome! A mouse is the PERFECT way to control this game!!"... then I realized that the game doesn't support mouse accelleration, which essentially makes the mouse a rather clumsy way to control this game.

Don't forget Stupid Invaders, a point-and-click type adventure game. I bought a cheap DC mouse from Gamestop last year, but it's in storage with the rest of my good DC stuff.

It's funny because one of the pawns near me still has a boxed DC mouse for $15 along with 5 $15 copies of Virtua Tennis... :o

You guys forgot about maximum pool. That game is awesome (as long as you don't play against the dog, for some reason, he is damn good). That is the game I used to take online when it was still supported for online play.

btw - I am one of those people that are really good with a controller in fps games. i used to school the computer punks in ut. its a thing that just takes time to get used to. Its like how I can school anybody in capcom vs snk 2 on a console, but put me in an arcade, and i am one of the worst people there.
