metzger130 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Picked up at CX-22 Trak-Ball today for $10. Is that a good price for one? I know I can't use it that much til I get an AtariMax SD cart so I can play the trak-ball hacks, but I have one now.

accousticguitar Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If it works it's a good price. If you bought one off ebay the shipping would be almost that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably the one who sold it to you. It's always great to meet a fellow AtariAge member! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzger130 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 What are some good games to use the trak ball with? I know they have to be in joystick mode, but what are good ones? Other than Missile command, centipede, Milipede? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Try games like Adventure and Berzerk where you move through a field in all directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If you have a Harmony cart, you need to check this thread out: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/243453-atari-2600-trak-ball-games/page-1 I bought a CX-80 trackball just to test them. My CX-80 works exactly like a CX-22. Some very early CX-22 trakball do not have a JS/TB swtich. If yours doesn't, then you are out of luck and it can only be used in joystick mode. However if it does have a switch, flip it to "TB" setting, load the CX-22 ROMs on your Harmony, and game on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
