I'll be all over this one!

I played it a little more tonight. I actually dig the way Pole Position plays with the twist control. I played Xevious and Bosconian seem to play nicely as well. It's too bad that Galaga and Ms Pacman seem off. Anyways, I've decided to go pick up a couple more tomorrow for gifts. My neice's birthday is next week and she is into the classic games.

I purchased a few items from Rasterscan without any trouble.

I went by the toy isle to see if the price of the FB2 had gone down and found the wireless Ms Pacman units have gone down to $4.88. The batteries cost more than the system. Oddly, the wired systems were 15 bucks more! Maybe it's because of the cartridge feature? I'd thought about picking up a few of them (for gifts), but after playing it a bit I think I'll hold off. The joystick feels decent, but often Ms Pacman will miss a corner or go the wrong way altogether. Also she seems to snag on the corners... just odd. I couldn't get Pole Position to steer, but then I didn't realize till now that there was a twist control on the controller. I'll have to give it another go. I only played it for a moment, but Galaga seems a bit slow. Mappy seems to play the best of those I've tried so far. Still, I can't complain too loud over a 5 dollar purchase.

It makes me think back to when I was young and I thought it might be possible to detach the end of an M Network cart and use it to play all my Intellivision cartridges on my VCS.

Solar Plexus is deceptively simple in its concept, isn't it? A twitch game lover's dream. The game is definitely on my list of homebrew titles to purchase this year.

Oh wow!

Brilliant!

Some have expressed the interest here before. I think the general consensus is that chatrooms tend to be have less meaningful conversations. Also, some good information might be shared realtime, but there is no record of it when the chat client is closed. Of course, no one is stopping you from starting an IRC channel and posting an invitation here in the forums. I'd probably check it out.

The NES Advantage is pretty good. I prefer the feel of the Genesis Arcade Power Stick in every way, but obviously you cannot use it on the NES. I use it quite a bit when playing Atari games though.

Dude, Albert's not going to let you ignore yourself. 1014651[/snapback] That's what beer is for.

I've found Stelladapter to be worth every penny that I paid for it. Most of the emulators I use recognized the joystick and responded to input immediately. After tinkering a bit with some configuration options in MAME, I was able to get my Atari paddles working with Arkanoid and other games that use a knob. I bought the Atari - 80 Classic Games and downloaded the Stelladapter patch so that I can use the driving controller to play Tempest. I would assume that the joystick you linked to would work with all of the emulators you mentioned. I bought a couple of USB Atari Joystick look-alikes a while back and found them to be pretty shoddy. The sheath was more of a plastic than rubber; after playing Gridrunner a few minutes, one came unattached and was nearly impossible to replace. Also, for some reason, the button was mapped to button 2 which made extra configuration necessary for some emulators.

That's cool. I guess I was being kind of petty anyways. I cringe when I see topics from at least one or two people. I suppose I just need to practice self control and not click in!

Definitely! I don't like the weird first person type mazes in Goonies II. In fact, I almost didn't give Goonies a chance because at first it looked so similar to the version I'd played growing up. I have Goonies on two or three of my multicarts; I'm content to never buy a copy of Goonies II.

I like the way the software handles regular posts, but I was wondering if it is possible to tweak it so that an offensive party's topics disappear from the forum listing. Of course, had this been the case already, you guys might not have seen this topic!

If I pay you $190, can you give it to me, then replace that image with a "Do Not Copy" watermark? First, though, I need proof that it is digitally colored - you know, regular coloring just isn't as prestigious. 1013940[/snapback] PM me for my Paypal addy!

Does it really? That's funny!

Hey, I typed "silly" into Google Images, and I found this little ugly dude eating a popsicle! HAHA! So I colored him.

Although I won't be at NWCGE, I can't wait to snag this from the AA store when it's posted!

That was helpful! I'm also curious what experiences people have had. Good or bad... and maybe some details or a story to back it up...

Way cool. If I wasn't so darn broke, I'd be all over it. :sniff:

I think that offering this in the Atariage store is a good move - very reliable!

I rather enjoy the game, but I've only played it in MAME.

Very awesome! I was just wondering the other day if Tunnel Hunt would be possible on the VCS! It is a fun game. Is there any possible way that the tunnels will eventually twist and turn like the arcade game?
