We announced this a few weeks ago .. but here are some more details

“The public is looking forward to living the intensity of the 2002 FIFA World Cup™. Thrustmaster also want to offer PC gamers the chance to absorb themselves in this huge sporting event ” says Michael Flanagan, UK Managing Director.

Thrustmaster’s unique “team” of accessories will be launched at the end of April 2002 and will include three products: the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Digital gamepad, the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Dual Analog gamepad and the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Duopack.

Both the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Digital gamepad and the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Dual Analog gamepad sport an exciting soccer shirt design – black and green colors with white strips- and above all the prestigious emblem logo. They perfectly combine user-friendliness (they are Plug & Play) with a fantastic ergonomic design. They’re using the same shape as the multi award-winner Firestorm Dual Power, which received 25 awards worldwide.

Each of these two new gamepads offers their own performing features to respond to any gamer’s requirements. The 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Digital gamepad offers 12 digital action buttons allowing the highest level of control and does not require any drivers.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Dual Analog gamepad is equipped with an 8-way D-pad and 2 analog mini-sticks for highly precise control. It includes 12 programmable quick action buttons, complete mouse and keyboard emulation, ThrustMapper - advanced customization software – available from the Thrustmaster website and a quality rubber texture.

In addition, for all multiplayer gaming enthusiasts, all those who want to enjoy the FIFA World Cup™ and their soccer games with their friends, Thrustmaster also offers the best value pack including two Digital gamepads: the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ Duopack.
