Genesis Mouse

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Today, on my last trip to Gamestop (probably ever) I picked up a Genesis Mouse. It was only $1, so I figured what the hell. I found out that only 2 games actually use it, but NOT what the games are. So, what are they? And how much do they run for?

[Lemmi]

Sega Clubs Wacky Worlds Creativity Studio uses it

[+-^CrossBow^-]

One of them is the Sonic and Tales paint program thing. Basically just like the SNES Mario Paint...but with Sonic and Tales. The other escapes me, but I also know that Snatcher for the Sega CD and I believe a few other Sega CD games could use the Mouse.

While on the subject of mouses, what games utilize the DC mouse? I picked one up the other day and I'm deciding whether or not there's an actual use for it.

Dungeon Master 2 also can use the mouse

That was the Sonic and Tales Paint thingie I was talking about. I couldn't remember the name of it and since the name Wacky Worlds Creativity Studio is soo far from the Sonic and Tales characters names that are depicted on the box I guess their marketing worked. I remembered that Tales and Sonic were all over it...but couldn't remember the name.

 

Maybe it only half worked...

thats how i remembered it also

 

the best thing about the mouse that came in its own box is the mouse pad that comes with it

 

mine is still sealed

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Well, there is a lot of 8 sealed Mice with the pads on ebay right now, so I feel a tad stupid for buying it =P

The American Laser shooters for the SegaCD can utilize the mouse as a substitute for a light gun.

[christianscott27]

i think you can use on some of those genesis battle sims, like american revolution one and those koei games, although i could be thinking of the SNES.

[SteveW]

I thought about buying one of these when they were being discontinued, because I was hoping it would be compatible with my Amiga. But I never got one because I wasn't sure.

[chairmonkey4406]

also, while we're on the subject of mice, what games use it for the SNES besides Utopia and Mario Paint?

[sigma]

Mario & Wario is a good one.

[Markimus of K.]

Just so no disinformation it being spread, Snatcher does not work with the mouse. It also does not work with the Justifier gun, I've just tried them both and no luck.

 

And I've tried it with the Justifier since 1994 so don't tell me it is a recent thing. Great concept, poor execution.

M of K:

 

I wasn't sure about the mouse working with Snatcher. But I thought I had read that somewhere once fairly reliably. As for the justifier, I have a friend who has said he got it to work and was only able to beat the game by using the lightgun. I got all the way up to the last part main battle of the game and simply couldn't get past all the robots at the end. I only had a standard Genesis controller so perhaps that was part of the problem. Good to know about the mouse though, that was a misunderstaning on my part.

"Basically just like SNES Mario Paint"? From what I heard in a Sega-oriented console magazine, Wacky Worlds was HARDLY a Mario Paint clone, which was why I didn't bother getting it, although the Sega Mega Mouse moves like a dream and both Nintendo's own produced SNES mouse and the SNES-compatible Champ Mouse both blew it as far as accurate control went.

[Bratwurst]

Can you use the Genesis Mouse with Risk?

[Adrian M]

If I'm not mistaken, you could use the mouse on those early Sega CD "Make your own music video" games.

[Atariman]

I believe that the mouse also works on 'Eye of the Beholder' for the SegaCD, too

[Raijin Z]

The internet told me Art Alive was mouse compatible. The internet is a lying whore.

[Bratwurst]

I have since learned that Risk does not work with the Mega Mouse, and Raijin Z continues to have a potty mouth.

[Raijin Z]

Atari Age hasn't changed, but maybe it's gotten worse. Or maybe it's always been like this, and my extended leave of absense only made it seem worse when I came back, like a dead end job after a three day weekend. Since when is the word WHORE considered profane? Stop starting crap with me, please, and everything will run smoothly.

[shep]

Mario & Wario is a good one.

 

That is a fun title!
