First you make us buy Skiing and Hungry Horace and then it goes in a triology?

For some reason my xbox 360 controller only works in the menu, but not in any of the games. It works fine in a couple other games by this publisher I have that seem to use the same emulator (Monty on the Run and Bounder) and I've tried messing with the controller configuration but it's showing the correct button assignments so I'm not sure why it's not working...
