Bump, put the lightguns back up for sale. Menacer now comes with a 2in1 multicart of T2 & Body Count.

Added Filmation Ghostbusters DVD Box Sets. I see a few others have sold specialty DVD sets

on AA so I figure it can't be too far off topic to do so  $100 for the pair. Anyone who knows

of these will instantly recognize that it's a steal of a deal!

Ghostbusters DVD's have a new home

Added a modded lightgun for the Atari and a copy of Shooting Arcade to go with it.

Yes.

 

Nope, now it's sold.

Added a Smurfs 2 in 1 Genesis Multicart for $25. (SOLD)

 

Clearing out the rest of those Genesis carts at $15 each.

3 quality titles still up for grabs there.

 

I took 5 bucks off the price of the Justifer guns and games set too. 

$70 is as rock bottom of a price as you will ever find for a set like that.

Is that 2600 paddle designed for depressed people with no friends to play Pong against themselves? How about you make a 4 player version with two connectors for the really hardcore people who wish to play Warlords against themselves?

The way it's set up you can only use one player at a time BUT I could make a 4 player one exactly as you are speaking of with a stacked variable pot. Wouldn't even need a switch. Just plug and play, lonely 4 player action. While cool enough in some aspects, that would be heading towards the depression you speak of without a doubt

but that'd require some hole drilling so you could have 4 paddles on top of each other no? Do they even make stacked pots with 4 knobs?

Perhaps a 2 player version would be much more doable.

If you can't switch between player 1/2 on the fly then what the heck is your creation supposed to be used for?

No drilling, here is an example of one with 2 stacked, there are ones with more.

You can switch between them on the fly. You just can't use both at the same time with this set up. It's so you can use one controller to control both player 1 and player 2. I made it because I can. Think of breakout. It's player 1's turn then after that it's player 2's turn. This one controller can be used to control both with the flip of a switch.

Oh, I thought you meant you couldn't switch it on the fly because of what you said when I mentioned Pong. Maybe you should try playing Pong with yourself, I know I have using 2 paddles. I know what stacked potentiometers look like but I have no idea how you could implement it without extensive modification to the plastic case. I didn't know they made 4 layer stacked pots.
