retroillucid Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just to ask if the Super Action Controller set were manufactured in CBS format? If Yes, does a CBS Super Action Baseball cart exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 That must be a good question since nobody can anwser/confirm that the S.A Controller were released in CBS format I never seen a CBS Super Action Baseball cart.....

I'm not sure, but I think I remember a european (probably CBS) S.A.C. box in the same vein as the european box of the steering wheel module... As for Super Action Baseball, I can't answer that for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just to ask if the Super Action Controller set were manufactured in CBS format? If Yes, does a CBS Super Action Baseball cart exist? There was a CBS Super Action Controller BOX, but I have never seen a CBS style Super Action Baseball CART. The only cart I have ever seen is the Coleco released version, so I highly doubt a CBS version ever existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapahute Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think the controllers were sold with the game Rocky as baseball was (still is ?) a nearly unknown/unplayed sport here in France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph74 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'd say likely NOT a CBS baseball.. Logically speaking, I don't think a Baseball game would sell in Europe, especially 25 years ago, any better than a Cricket game would sell here in North America... Here's a box pic of the CBS set, though... http://www.pong-picture-page.de/catalog/images/cbs-colecovision-super-action-controller-set.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 In France we got CBS Version of super action controller built'in with Rocky. we got also "Super Action Soccer" that was renamed in France (and europe i guess) : "Super Action Football" As far i know, we didn't get CBS version of "Super Action Baseball" and "Super Action FootBall"(u.s football). Baseball in france is a sport we are even not able to understand the rules!!.. lol And why , you guys call "FootBall" a sport where you mainly plays using hands?

Murph74 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Youki- If I had to guess, I'd have to say it's called "football" because "soccer" was already taken. lol Take this for what ya will, but a better answer than the one I came up with is here... http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_American_football_called_%27football%27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozma wars Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Terrible Soccer version that of Colecovision.. Expectations were great but it never replaced the Intellivision soccer in our group. ( the same for Rocky, great graphics but....ridicoulous gameplay , no chance against the Intellivision competitor ) The people who programmed these sports never touched a ball I suppose and all the people who marketed these silly items contributed to kill Colecovision. TeamPixelboy, some hope to play TURBO in the future WITHOUT the steering wheel ? that was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 So now I'm curious to know, what is the difference between Daniel's Destructor hack and Destructor SCE published by Team Pixelboy? The RamCar controls were implemented differently. In Daniel's hack, you turn by moving the joystick left or right, and accelerate with one of the trigger buttons. It's closer to the steering wheel controls that way. In the Team Pixelboy version, you move the RamCar in one of eight directions by moving the joystick in that direction. No need to press a button to accelerate, and the RamCar slows to a stop when you let go of the joystick. The buttons are used to set the RamCar in reverse gear (right button), and to fire a crystal (left button). I believe my version won't cause hand cramps after prolonged game play.

I have actually started to like this game better now that I have the Team Pixelboy release. I always hated usng the Driving Module for this game (it's great for Turbo and Pitstop) and while I very much appreciated Daniel's hard work hacking the controls to a hand controller and sharing his work freely, I prefer Luc's control layout the most. Plus the cart, manual and box are top-notch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but they call it Super Action Cricket, old chap. Super Action Cricket, now there's an oxymoron for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozma wars Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi CBS boxes for the S.A.C. were released in Europe ( in Italy at least ) with Rocky included. Let me check and will revert the boxes I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we call it Cricket, but there are no official cartridge released under "Super Action Cricket". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
