@RetroNerd you're welcome. And I'm going to release another update to support joypads for both players and fix some small glitches. The game is good, but it took me a long time to adapt it properly / fix (almost) all controller bugs.

I have improved the ReadJoyPad.s routine so it detects if a joypad is connected or just a joystick. If just a joystick is connected, then if it's a 2 button joy, you can use the 2nd button as "blue" at least.

Next improvement projects I thought of (for very good games that deserve it):

- Rodland arcade-like controls (& pause on joypad)
- Silkworm jeep arcade-like controls (would make jeep easier to control, with 1 button it's a bit hard)

As someone said, you can create improvement requests in Mantis, it's easier to follow for me at least. Also the games which work with a CD32 pad but not with a 2 button joystick qualify (recently fixed Bubble & Squeak, thanks to Toni which explained the difference between a joystick button 2 and a joypad blue button... again)
