JacobZu7zu7 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Is the Trackball hack allowed? Play with standard controller or joystick, I will ask S.BAZ my co-mod his opinion on this trackball hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Play with standard controller or joystick, I will ask S.BAZ my co-mod his opinion on this trackball hack. I think it would be unfair for those not owning a trak-ball. (Fun yes - but effectively a different game.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 JOY another of my top 5 favorite 2600 games back in the 80's Yars' Revenge Centipede Mario Bros Vanguard Surround ...with a bunch of close runners-up... I think it would be unfair for those not owning a trak-ball. (Fun yes - but effectively a different game.) I agree no hack (even though I want to play it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I agree no hack (even though I want to play it) No problem, it's what I expected. I just thought it'd be a good idea to get it asked & answered early on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I never cared that much for Surround on the VCS. We got a Bally Astrocade some time after the VCS, and the built in Checkmate was a 4 player version of surround. It was a much better implementation of the game, and with 2 brother and 3 sister, it got much more play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Getting on the board with 69,077. One good hit on a spider away from living to suck another day... But - and that's the good news - I already beat my high score (54k) from the season 2013. I had to play it with keyboard controls because I was away from my Atari that week. Joystick isn't perfect for this game, but it damn well works much better than the bloody arrow keys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangia-Boy Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 45,000 and a little bit more. Sorry, I couldn't take a screenshot, because I pressed the wrong button and then the score was gone. This is the first decent translation of an arcade classic to the 2600. Mario Bros, DK and DK Jr. were pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
