chewy Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 what did the designer intend? its atari, so ive always favored joystick, but it IS zippy the porcupine, so im a little conflicted. which do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 KNOCKOFF GENESIS CONTROLLER IS GONNA BE RAD FOR THIS GAME- I HESITATE TO USE IT ON ANY OTHERS FOR AUTHENTICITY SAKE, BUT THIS IS WORKING RT NOW-- just got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 and for the 1st time ever im it feels like im playing a """""real"""" video game on the atari. im only 37 dog, nintendo and sega genesis were the 1st boxes i tried. in the early 90s i was "aware" of atari but it was this far away mysterious other thing i only heard of in passing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't played much Atari you have been missing out on a bunch of stuff. There are some great homebrews. Sounds like you like platformers. Might try Panky the Panda.

chewy Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 the $5 generic sega genesis controller is far and away the best controller for zippy AND i tried it on "KUNG FU MASTER"-- a million times better than joystick. i have a tac 2- but even on that, the buttons are still inferior. plus the way you hold controller vs joystick, elimaes alot of the button fatigue. i am still 100% for joystick for "STARGATE" but certain, espically late period games im a convert to the controller.

Lynxpro Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 actually the $5 one broke in 2 days but now the sega offical genesis controller is rocking my world- these games are finally playable Pick up Tengen's version of the Genesis pads if you want to make the experience more authentically "Atari"...

rasch_C Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 You have to play Princess Rescue w/ a modded NES controller and Zippy w/ a 3-button Genesis controller. At least, that's how I do it -Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Brigadier Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I use a standard Genesis 3-button controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
