Unless you have a hacked version, Gorgon only supports the keyboard.
A, Z, Left Arrow, and Right Arrow to move.
Space to fire.
B to refuel at base.
Esc to pause.
Ctrl+S toggle sound.
Ctrl+R to restart.
You might be able to find Windows software that can map gamepad inputs to keypresses, such as JoyToKey.
Darn.
No wonder I was struggling.
I tried JoyToKey, works great.
Either I suck at the game, or my controls aren't right, or my emulator is not set right, but driving the ship around is very erratic.
I tried auto-repeat on the a, z, left and right, it is better, but still erratic.
Any suggestions?
It's a very difficult game and the keyboard is often terrible for action games, especially if it targets the Apple II Plus. The Apple IIe introduced a keyboard feature that improves things a bit.
Similar games for the Apple II are Defender (Atarisoft), Defender (Joe Holt), Stargate, Aquatron, and Repton. Good luck!
