Well, there are rings you can lock around your NGPC thumbstick which turn it into a four-way joystick rather than an eight-way, thus making gameplay of Pac-Man and Crush Roller much more manageable.

The red rings only came with Pac-AMn and some late editions of Crush Roller. IT really improves the gameplay of Crush Roller I think, because playing with an 8-way joystick can be frustrating. (Sadly my CRush Roller copy came without the crossring)

I got some with Pacman. They are really useful, as they totally remove diagonals. Especially useful when getting chased....

hey, I just want to say thanks.
I just won Crush Roller from ebay and I was SO confused as to why I got a bag of 3 crossrings in the box, so I searched google and it led me to this thread explaining that they sometimes come with Crush Roller, I thought they only came with Pac-Man.

anyway, AWESOME!!!!!! good to know!!
