A joystick developed in Australia and the United States for three-dimensional computer games comes out in Hong Kong this month.

SpaceOrb 360 has been developed especially for games such as Quake, Doom and Descent, exclusively for the PC platform, according to local distributor Turbo Channel.

It is suited to systems running both Windows 95 or DOS 5.0 and above. The SpaceOrb is developed by Spacetec, which says the limitations of 2D joysticks and control devices are not experienced with the SpaceOrb.

One of the new moves is the Circle Strafe, a combination of a front, side and spin movement - performed simultaneously.

The new joystick also has 1,024 different speed levels.

The developers claim that it puts other 3D devices to shame, including the SideWinder Pro.
