You can buy them individually as well. The first game says its supports a wheel - they rest say "gamepad" - so I don't know if that means wheel compatible or not.

Flatout
Recommended: 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 or AMD 2000+, 512 MB RAM, 128 MB GraphicsCard, DirectX Compatible Sound Card, Gamepad or Steering Wheel, Windows XP SP2   :cheers:

Flatout 2
FlatOut 2 supports gamepads. Gamepad with 8 buttons minimum (to support all configurable game commands) is recommended.    :dunno

Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction
Force Feedback support for racing wheels    :cheers:

Flatout: Ultimate Carnage
Note: Steering Wheels are not supported with Flatout Ultimate Carnage. Keyboard and controller support only.    :angry:

(I read that last one as CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!  :P )

I have the first Flatout.
I only played it when setting up controls on the new PC, but I ended up playing for 20 minutes because I really liked it.

If they all had wheel support, it would be a no brainer.
Since I already have one and two others don't have wheel support, I'm having to think about it.

If you don't pull the trigger on the whole package, the original one for $1.87 is a no brainer.

I'm debating.  I already have 30 games that I haven't played.  :lol

Racing games anyway.  Then I have a dozen on the stand-up cab that work with arcade controls.  Then I have a few dozen on the laptop that work well with an xbox controller.

I don't know whether to damn or be thankful for the humble bundle, greenmangaming, & Steam sales.
Keep telling myself that once these cabs are done, I'm not starting any other projects.
I'm going to spend all my free time playing.
