Atariperson23 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Well, i'm going to have to come back on this game. I can't really figure out how to play this game, no matter how much times i've tried. I can't find a manual for this, which is weird, and no one I know seems to know how to play Thrust. Can anyone help? Please? Maybe someone at XYPE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It's based on the C64 version which you can find the manual for here: https://archive.org/details/Thrust_1986_Firebird_Software/mode/2up On 2600, I know it is designed to use the booster grip, and I believe there is a version that will work with a Sega pad, but it has been a while since I've played it. I really thought there was a way to play with a standard joystick too but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works with a standard joystick as well. You just have to know that when you press down, fire works as thrust. That way you can easily pickup fuel and the pod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyK Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Yep. Plays great with a standard stick. Once you figure out how to pick up the pods it's really quite intuitive. It's amazing how good control schemes for more complex games can be squeezed out of a 1 button 8 way stick!

+sramirez2008 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 @Thomas JentzschAlways wanted to ask if there was any significance to the Feb 2022 date? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Well, crap. I'd better enjoy the game while I can, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
