+sixersfan105 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Anybody ever seen this or use this? My curiosity got the better of me and I purchased it today. It's coming from Europe, though, so might be a while before I'm able to play with it. Looks similar in function to the Roklan Un-Roller Controller but with two fire buttons.

Lord Thag Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yep, I had (have?) one. It's.... weird. Sort of like a static, microswitch trak ball that doesn't actually move. It's gathering dust in a bin somewhere. I imagine if you stick with it, it'd work ok. I found it hard to play fast games with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipwreck Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I remember seeing that back in the day, but I don't think I ever tried one.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I had one of those for the NES! It... wasn't very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I've seen them before, but could never bring myself to bugger with one. I was into collecting all sorts of weird 3rd party controllers for a long time, but this one didn't even seem to be worth the trouble of plugging in.

+sixersfan105 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 It's actually pretty cool. The box arrived completely smashed up (even worse than in the above pics) b/c the seller thought it would be a good idea to simply wrap the original box in a paper bag and use that as the "shipping box." without any type of protection whatsoever. I'm lucky that the joystick arrived in one piece and in working condition. I will say, I kind of enjoy playing games with it. It works really well for games like Pac-Man. Almost has more precision than a regular joystick, in a way. It's larger than I expected it to be. It has suction cups on the bottom that work pretty well to keep it in one place on a table. It's not my primary controller, but I'm still glad that I have it and a lot of people are super curious about it when they see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave1 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have one for the NES and I've really not tried playing games with it. I do play some of my 2600 games with the Unroller Controller which isn't actually too bad. Kinda like it for Pac-man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
