ok i should have been more specific, what im really wanting to know is, which are the most commonly used buttons on the keyboard for instance i finally discovered that b in one on one calls time out. so are there a list of "usual suspects" in regards to commonly used keys in games? in bruce lee i can start a game lol i feel like an idiot i have hit start and option and such, im on an xegs, is there like a combo of buttons i need to be pressing? any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately there is no rhyme or reason to what will or will not pause a game... Sometimes it's the spacebar, sometimes it's the letter P... In the current high score contest game Drol it is the break key... If you have an XEGS and no keyboard you might be out of luck as I don't think there is an alternative built into that machine.

 

Very rarely pause will be select or option.

 

As for specific manuals it's usually easier to do a search on google (although many of them can be found at Atarimania)

 

Hope that helps a little

thank you , yes i do have a keyboard, im just confused i suppose lol. as with bruce lee i get the title screen and then seems like regardless of what key or button i push it just resets? blue max with option held at start up loads to a pink screen with the k in the upper right, without option held at bootup it goes to just a black screen,most games fire right up, ,jsut a few im having trouble with and im assuming its something im doing wrong. thanx for the help.

Usually Escape or Space are pause, sometimes Option. Select and Option on the title screen to choose game settings... most games also use Start to restart/abort your go, not that many use other keys. As orpheuswaking said Atarimania is pretty good for manuals and box scans. I've found the people here very helpful so just post any specific game questions as there's always someone who will use it for an excuse to have a quick blast and find out for you

Have Fun

 

p.s. You didn't say whether you had disk or tape but when booting games hold Option to disable basic (release when the load starts!) (use for most Disks) and for tapes Hold Start and Option.
