Stiffy Problem

Dear Future Gamer,

I disagree with Dan (FG31) about the PlayStation analogue stick being better than the Nintendo one. Look - Nintendo invented the stick, and the greystation ("that's PlayStation, readers") copied it. The N64 stick is thinner, giving more accuracy and precision. Just try using the greystation's ("hee hee") stick with GoldenEye!

And about your problem with stiffies - I mean the Nintendo stick going stiff, gritty, blah blah. The solution is simple; put a little talcum powder in it and then rotate the stick a few times until the powder disappears, and to your amazement - yes, the stick is no longer stiff but smooth like it used to be!

On a positive note, I think that your magazine is great although if there was at least one preview and review of a Nintendo 64 game then a week's wait would be well worth it.

Farooq Asif (AKA Faz)


FG: Been taking a bit of 'talcum powder' yourself, have you 'Faz'? You can't use the 'greystation's stick' with GoldenEye. It don't fit, see? We'd love to cover the N64 every week, but such is the dearth of software, it ain't easy. Roll on the tuna-friendly Dolphin...
