AtariWarlord Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I admit it: I've never played Kaboom! with paddles. I must be the only Atari-owning Gen Xer who never owned it as a kid. Do the paddles really make that much of a difference over playing it with a mouse? If so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be the only Atari-owning Gen Xer who never owned it as a kid. Do the paddles really make that much of a difference over playing it with a mouse? If so, how? Personal opinion ahead! I find the controls a lot more precise. You get much better minute adjustments using a "steering wheel" over a "slide". It also feels like all my movements on the paddles are translated TO movement. If I move the mouse up while going left/right some of the movement I'm trying to make is lost in translation. Since that doesn't always happen you can over or under compensate as a result. This is the same whether on real hardware or using the 2600-daptor on emulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Super busy lately but I've been getting some games in. Kaboom is great for not having much time, the games happen so fast! This was my favorite paddle game growing up. May have one last go at it this eve.

Novastar Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Fun week. I've been playing a lot of bowling with my 4 year old. I can't use the method I found for higher score :(. For my it was about making a shot that I could duplicate over and over. Less fun that way anyway.

AtariWarlord Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Kaboom! 617. Feel so stupid I got no pic. Hit reset instead of take pic. Game fries your brain and (just indulge the whingings of a frustrated man for one goddamn minute) it's so unfair. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
