Elvis8Atari Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I was wondering if anyone knows any Atari 5200 games that make full use of the number pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myklejay Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I don't know about using every key on the pad but Miner 2049, Bounty Bob strike Back and Spy Hunter all use several buttons on the keypad. Ive heard that the keypad can be used as directional keys in frogger but I've never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Star Raiders, Baseball Football uses about half. The keypad is critical to gameplay in Countermeasure (the top three keys). Defender uses any keypad key for Hyperspace. Frogger uses 2, 4, 6, 8 for an alternate control scheme.

Rex Dart Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Maintenance! #1 game on the system. I'm stuck at the part where you get the analog stick to register all directions. Edited December 20, 2013 by Rex Dart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Missile Command uses all keys to select levels, one or two player and so on... That is what I always use to test a number pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Missile Command uses all keys to select levels, one or two player and so on... That is what I always use to test a number pad. I do the same thing. :-). It is also an excellent game for fully testing the joystick. Unfortunately, MC makes no use of the second fire button, so I use another cart (Moon Patrol) to test it.

I always cheat on this game and buy a Wico Command Control instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariron82 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I believe Looney Tunes Hotel uses all number keys for level selection, as well as the two red fire buttons. I use it quite often to test controller response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
