classicgamesnut Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I couldn't find a thread specifically about this, please pardon me if there is one. Pictured is a MiniVex II, a controller I've been producing for the Vectrex. Been considering a compact twin stick unit, like this one, that's compatible with both Atari 2600 / VCS and the 7800. Thus far I know of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Stargate for the 2600, and Robotron for the 7800, but that's all...can someone list other original release and homebrew titles for both of these systems that use dual sticks? Much appreciated. Larry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Spyhunter, but one of them is rotated so the buttons are oriented correctly. There was a molded plastic holder that you put the sticks in. One or more of the other adventure games as well. Maybe Riddle of the Sphinx and Dragonstomper? Plus of course... http://atariage.com/forums/topic/190214-i-got-my-atari-to-control-my-nintendo-rob-robot/ Edited February 13, 2019 by Pioneer4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlepaddle Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Also, 2600 Omega Race uses a special controller which allows extra button control (but not through the second controller port). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T:ME Salvo and Christmas Salvo (holiday theme of same game) by Mike Saarna are fantastic twin stick shooters for the 7800. We're working on adding support for twin stick to Argon (both 7800 and Vectrex, now that you pointed out a few!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bhall408 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Here is a picture of the Vectrex support. We're looking for games we can try it on (games that we can get permission for, so that means homebrew/indie for the most part) We're adding it to 7800 next, so that we can support twin stick in TME Salvo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
