What's the easiest way for me to add Feature: Game Controller to a list of HOL games?

This is for games that aren't made for joystick.

Do I just post it here, and someone will edit?

Specifically, most Ball-and-bat Breakout clones are made for mouse, and they didn't appear in an Advanced Search. Neither did many games who are obviously made first for mouse, such as Doom etc clones and point and click adventures.

Here's the list:

Amegas
Arkanoid
ArkanoidRevengeOfDoh
BallRaider2
BlockbusterNTSC
CrystalHammerV1
CrystalHammerV2
Giganoid
Impact
Impact95
KryptonEgg
MegaBall
ScrollingWalls
Tecnoball
ZeroGravity

Also, Rock'n'Roll uses mouse even if it's not a Ball-and-Bat Breakout clone.

*sigh*, yes that is how it works Could you please post the full link to the HOL entry? It makes adding the info at least a bit easier. I'll add the info to the entries you listed in your first post now (will take a day to show up).

Thank you TCD.

Shufflepuck Café
Marble Madness (but also joystick, keyboard, and trackball... do they add up or do you have to select 1?)
Virus (also keyboard)
Super Hang-On
Desert Strike (also joystick)
Seek and Destroy (also joystick)

Those are the ones I played, surely there are more, but I would have to find time to try them.

Note about searching for Seek and Destroy - it's only found by the Javascript dropdown when you start typing, and clicking the name. If you press Enter or search for this name any other way, it's not found(!) Maybe something wrong with the name? ANSI space (code $a0)?

Thank you I've added the non-joystick notes. Adding joystick to every game that supports it... maybe somebody else will do it one day

I have no idea. I've replaced the spaces with 'normal' spaces. Please try it tomorrow and if the problem still exists I'll ask Cody to have a look at it.

Cheers, yeah it's mostly action games where your first thought is joystick, and not mouse (or keyboard) support. Other genres are kind of self-explanatory so nothing needed and assumption would be right 95% of the time. Just a few exceptions.
