Pixelboy Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I gotta agree with Grips03 here. I started a topic on this a while back hoping that someone could provide a hack of the controls for Frontline that make more sense. You can play it with a regular controller but you have to press 1,2,3 together to throw grenades or jump into/out of the tank which is crazy. The MSX version has it correct I think. If you play it in an emulator you shoot/throw grenades in the direction that your man is heading which makes sense. As long as someone is going to do it, I think that it should be done right. IMHO I totally disagree. Strafing is an extremely important feature in FrontLine, especially when you're driving a tank. For that, you need to be able to rotate your aim and move around independently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I like strafing too, I was worried more about the time to press 1 or 3 vs. just shooting the bad guys. Its a trade off either way. Perhaps both control options could be provided via a menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Perhaps both control options could be provided via a menu? Not a bad idea, but then PixelBoy would have to include two different sets of Overlays and an in-game controller setup menu might not be easily added. This would also mean more work hacking the rom for Opcode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 By the way, there's something I forgot to mention in the first post of this thread: Aside from pending pre-orders, I have 22 available copies left of Quest for the Golden Chalice. It may seem like a lot, but once those 22 copies are gone, I will be out of boxes, so the game will be permanently sold out! Princess Quest is in a similar situation: Pre-orders aside, I have 28 copies left, and once those are gone, the game will also be permanently sold out. So if anyone out there is on the fence about buying a copy of either game, don't wait too long... Noooo!!! Not permanently!!! *attempts to erase permanently* Sigh...written by a permanent marker... What am I complaining about, I have Quest for the Golden Chalice and about to get Princess Quest finally maybe this week. I can finally play Princess Quest since I'm eager to play it and enjoy the awesome smooth scrolling ^_^. These games are great and abuse the Colecovision's graphic chip quite nicely. I recommend these 2 new original games for your Colecovision. Send an email to Pixelboy ^_^ and buy these 2 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
