This version is much, much better but... I still feel like there is too much freedom while moving the mouse.

It's been a real long time since I played anything with the classic joystick (it could be even from days of Amiga 500) but I remember that the joystick used to return to the default position when you release the handle? You could try, if you have time, to make the knob 'fall' into up, down, left ,right & middle positions and not really make the whole trip to them. I'm not sure if I explained it right.

But this is my impression, other players could have the opposite opinion so don't take this as a critic
