Passing the time playing computer games

Post by discodave »

After my accident (as you do)I spent a lot of time going through what I waws not going to be able to do again and playing computer games was one of the high ranking things.

Thank god for the Wii.
Most games come out one handed and the others can be configured for the Wiimote.

And don't mind the adds, If Like me you are were quite bad post accidens you dont need to stand most games can be played sitting down.

You can do this but no joystick available for the PS series yet but there is the steeering wheels and also you can search for the joystick for the xbox.Its not made by microsoft but does the job well too.



If at best you can pass your days in recovery doing something I hope this helps. And I'm not a spambot webmasters

I've recently purchased the wii and find it very good. However, I am struggling to find games I can play with just the wiimote. Can you recomend any. And what do you mean by configure, do you mean the the games options menu?

regards

If you really like to play video games and are having trouble one handed, check out this controller. It is a one handed controller that works for both playstations and PC as well. I wish it worked for XBox but maybe some day. It is a bit pricey at $129.00 but I think is well spent. My fiance and I have also come up with different ways of playing all of the Wii games. For games like Mario Galaxy, we took a shoe and sewed a piece of elastic into the shoe. This holds the nunchuck into place. He uses his other toe to maneuver the analog stick. If you were a patient at the Mayo clinic, at one point they construct a Munster splint for you to wear after surgery, we have turned that into a device to hold and use both controllers at once. If you have any questions on how to make different things work for you just e-mail me and I will try to help.

Wow, that one handed controller is really cool, I've always hated that I would never be able to buy or play any PS games, now I just need to find the money to buy a PS3 & that controller. Thanks for posting that link.
