Scrabbler15 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The bonus game is 16B. Is that what you meant to play? Thanks, Gorfy. That means it can still get worse... . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) 4B - 44,665 16B - 26,580 I plan on doing better so no picture this time. I'm addicted to 16b. I figure if I can get good at it then I will be able to do really well on 4b. Edited January 24, 2017 by Atarian7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 New Score: Vocelli: 165,865 GAME 4B Of note: I tried my trackball with Millipede and it didn't work either. Can anyone suggest a game that is 100% compatible with the CX-22 Trak- Ball controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone suggest a game that is 100% compatible with the CX-22 Trak- Ball controller? I don't believe anything back in the day was written to use the trackball controller in anything other than Joystick Mode. A number of games have been hacked to support the trackball, use them with a Harmony or wait a bit and they'll be available in the AtariAge store's 2600 Hacks section.

Tickled_Pink Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 18,870 - using Stella. Strangely, I don't think it's a game I have for the 2600. Forgot to take screenshot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 There's still 4 1/2 days to get better. That there is! I think I can improve my score on Game 4 for sure once I get over this miserable cold I've had for the last week, but I don't know about Game 16. I think I just got kinda lucky with that one. I've never been terribly good at Missile Command but it's still an absolute classic and a ton of fun to play, though the biggest challenge has been finding the right controller to play it with. First I tried an Atari CX-80 trackball set in joystick mode, which worked but was a little slow and imprecise, then I tried a Best Electronics upgraded CX-40 joystick and found the control to be too loose for my liking. After that I tried my wife's Sega Genesis Arcade Power Stick and did pretty well with it, but not quite as well as I would have liked so I kept looking for a better controller. Lastly, I tried an Atari CX-78 joypad and a regular old Sega Genesis 3 button controller. Out the whole lot of 5 different controllers I tried I ended up liking the standard Sega Genesis controller the best, which is a little weird since it's a controller I almost never use, but I felt like it worked really well for this game. I'll keep at it with the Genesis controller though over the next few days and see if I can improve my score a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I only have CX-40 joysticks. They seem to do fairly well. Are the upgraded CX-40's actually better than the originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I only have CX-40 joysticks. They seem to do fairly well. Are the upgraded CX-40's actually better than the originals? The joystick movement (in my opinion) is way better than the original CX-40 with Best's gold PCB and silicone boot. The dome contacts on their gold PCB are much larger and raised up higher, resulting in better tactile feedback and a precise "click" feeling when you activate the contacts; much like a microswitched joystick. Sadly it's not perfect though, since even though the joystick's feel is much improved they made the dome contact for the button a bit too large and thick, so the button becomes very stiff feeling and takes a lot more force to activate on Best's upgraded PCB. I think it's a nice joystick for games that don't require constant button use, but for games like Missile Command that have you rapidly hammering the button it's sure to cause a hand cramp in short order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielJSorenson Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I topped my first high score when I tried again on 1/23/2017. I really am not fond of the ultra-sensitive/fast cursor control and the smart missiles! 4/B: 55475 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
