littleman jack Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Night Driver followed by Warlords. I really need to check out Medieval Mayhem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 +1 for Solar Storm and Astroblast. They definitely put the paddles to a far different use compared to the likes of Kaboom and Breakout. the only gripe I have about Solar Storm is the number of instant kills you're subject to.

For uniqueness of control mechanism, Steeplechase deserves a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Steeplechase is great fun with four players. But it's quite rare to find one in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Steeplechase is great fun with four players. But it's quite rare to find one in my experience. luckily there doesn't seem to be a paddle game that wont work with the supercharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickNixonArisen Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Fireball and Party Mix are supercharger games that use the paddle. Fireball is supposed to be pretty good. Are these two on SGANB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 paddle compatible-that rhymes you're a poet and didn't even know it My favorite game so far is Kaboom!. Haven't tried some of the other ones people seem to like so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Got some quality time with Solar Storm today. I smell planets sizzling in the HSC soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickNixonArisen Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We actually busted out beat-em-and-eat-em at a party this week. Got some pretty good laughs at it. The sound of jizz hitting the sidewalk was nice (never heard it in real life to compare). The discreet faux-leather carrying case really drives it home. Ironically, the only people who could identify it for what it was from farther away than a foot could identify it just as easily inside the case. Pretty disgusting graphics, actually, especially the lines around the women's mouths (lipstick?) at the end of a wave. My friend is really good at it for some reason. He claims it's because he's good at kaboom, but I have my doubts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JingleJoe Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I want one! But I require PAL format ... Sorry, I haven't got the magic to accomplish that. The confusing thing is that while half my cartridges have PAL on them, the rest dont have any indication of PAL or NTSC so this makes me wonder if it even matters at all!

A.J. Franzman Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 It does matter. PAL cartridges produce a 50 Hz picture, while NTSC carts run at 60 Hz. Most PAL televisions can handle a 60 Hz picture, but most NTSC televisions choke on a 50 Hz picture with vertical rolling. Also, the PAL and NTSC consoles' circuitry have different colo(u)r pallettes. Playing a PAL cartridge on an NTSC system (or vice-versa) will give incorrect colors.

Oh thankyou for the clarification, so if I play an NTSC cartridge on my PAL equipment it will most likely just be funny colours ... maybe thats why the walls are purple in pitfall Edited June 2, 2010 by JingleJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I did up this page, Atari NTSC vs PAL vs SECAM, a while back if you'd like more info on the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorTat-G Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 My Top Five Favorite Games Are: 1. Night Driver 2. Circus Atari 3. Breakout 4. Warlords 5. Super Breakout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifremok Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Kaboom! Finally being able to play this with a paddle was one of the main reasons I got an Atari. (My first time playing it was an unplayable mess on Activision Anthology (PS2).) Warlords and Circus Atari are close second and third. I'll give Demons to Diamonds another chance later but I find it hard to really get into. And now I wanna try Tac-Scan and Solar Storm.

Chuck D. Head Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 It's Tac-Scan for me as well. It is hard to put my finger on why, but paddle control made what would be a boring game much more fun. Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
