DOMnation Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) So I'm new to the Atari. I recently bought one with a bunch of games for it. When I play Pac-man or E.T, everything works perfectly fine. However when I seem to play other joystick games like Asteroids, my joystick is unresponsive. It's the same for few other games and only happens with SOME joystick related games. I have 3 copies of asteroids so I'm assuming it's not the games themselves. Any advice? Edit: None of the Asteroid games work with the joystics, and I have three different joysticks.

alex_79 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Have you pressed the RESET switch on the console to start the game? Older games cannot be started by pressing the joystick button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacklight Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Have you tried the joysticks in both ports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOMnation Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes I have, it's only with certain games for some reason, unless maybe my reset button on my console isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
