Guitari Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I bought a couple of new boxed power pads recently from two sources and note the low serial nos. on both. I wonder how many of these were produced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Aren't the gray pads Falcon controllers? Or what is the story with these again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Aren't the gray pads Falcon controllers? Or what is the story with these again? Falcon? Weren't they were for the STE first? Well, technically, they were probably designed for the Panther and the Enhanced Joystick Ports were then added to the STE [and later Falcon] in the process.

Guitari Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I know nothing of the panther/falcon/ST worlds hence I wonder if many of these were produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I know nothing of the panther/falcon/ST worlds hence I wonder if many of these were produced. Safe to assume that, yeah.... no. Not many were produced. Probably more Jaguar 6-button controllers made than these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Where'd you get them and how much? The sellers have any left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Safe to assume that, yeah.... no. Not many were produced. Probably more Jaguar 6-button controllers made than these. Like with the 7800 Game Pads, I think they [the STE Power Pads] were only sold in Europe. I never saw them here in the States when the STE came out and we had Atari dealers here in Sac that ordered everything they could from Atari... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fatari-ste.anvil-soft.com%2Fgrafik%2FJoypad1.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fatari-ste.anvil-soft.com%2Fhtml%2Ffactshard.htm&h=600&w=800&tbnid=6fL88yKGELAmNM%3A&zoom=1&docid=mwHoJqqey48TNM&ei=dNayVKGtJsXtoATol4LIBg&tbm=isch&ved=0CBwQMygAMAA&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=2084&page=1&start=0&ndsp=15 http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fatari-ste.anvil-soft.com%2Fgrafik%2FJoypad2.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fatari-ste.anvil-soft.com%2Fhtml%2Ffactshard.htm&h=600&w=800&tbnid=ZzRz4YIJJ_-wIM%3A&zoom=1&docid=mwHoJqqey48TNM&ei=dNayVKGtJsXtoATol4LIBg&tbm=isch&ved=0CB0QMygBMAE&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=900&page=1&start=0&ndsp=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I bought my Atari Power Pad at an Atari computer dealer in the United States. I don't think they launched with the STe line though. I remember seeing them show up at Atari computer stores around the same time the Falcon was released. By that time though, everything game related at the few remaining computer stores that sold Atari computers was all imported from Europe anyways. I didn't buy mine till like '94 or '95. I remember buying Frontier Elite II, Substation and the Atari Power Pad all on the same day to play on my STe. By that time, the nearest Atari dealer was like an hour away from where I lived and I always would buy a bunch of stuff at once to make the trip worth while...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have #792. So what does everyone think? Maybe only 1000 Atari Power Pads were made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 It seems likely. I also wonder if B436 is the only run that they made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Anyone know of anywhere that stocks these? There was ONE on epay but no one bought it (overpriced) and it hasn't since been re-listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimchipenguin Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Bumping this thread - mine is #394. I bought it in the mid-90's in Germany when various retailers were selling Atari NOS. It wasn't sold as "rare", but more of an oddity. Supplies were significantly less than the 7800 joypad. A specific controller for the advanced joystick ports was announced during the STE's life span. The Falcon titles that were developed for Atari (Steel Talons, Llamazap etc.), all require this controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
