sandmountainslim Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I picked up a Star Raiders pad with a box of Atari stuff last week, question is are there any other games it will work with? I dont have Star Raiders but may hafta pick it up now that I have this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 It's functionally the same as the keyboard and kids' controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The MilkMan Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have made overlay re-pro's for Star Raiders if you need 'em. PDF files free for the takin'. Click the "download" link below. Simply print, cut, and insert on the keypad. BTW, you GOTTA get Star Raiders! Utilizing a "control pad" to access your ship's fuctions is WAY cool. The more gadgets the better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 When will someone hack Stargate to use the Star Raiders controller? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 The only game that was made with the Video Touch Pad in mind was Star Raiders... however, as Nukey said, the Video Touch Pad is functionally equivalent to both the Kid's Controller and the Keyboard Controller, so that means the Video Touch Pad can also be used with: Alpha Beam with Ernie Big Bird's Egg Catch Cookie Monster Munch Grover's Music Maker Holey Moley Monstercise Oscar's Trash Race Peek-a-Boo Basic Programming Brain Games Codebreaker Game of Concentration Hunt & Score Magicard Memory Match There are two problems though... the most obvious one is that all three controllers are completely different sizes, so you can't use overlays in the opposite controllers, which would make Basic Programming extremely hard to use... The second problem is the fact that the Keyboard Controllers are generally meant to be used as a pair (They lock together to make one big touchpad), so you'd need 2 Video Touch Pad's in order to replace the Keyboard Controllers. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Milkman, do you still have that Star Raiders insert available? I picked up a controller in a lot, but not insert with it..... was the original insert a paper, cardboard, etc???

I made original repros, and some custom variants too. I just printed them on a heavy cardstock (like a 60 or 80 lb. gloss paper) and cut em out. Worked pretty good. I will have to post some images of the variants. Thanks for asking about them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The MilkMan Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Found some images and the PDF files for the Star Raiders overlays I made. Also found my overlays for Star Trek and Space Shuttle (4 & 6 switch) and 2600 Jr. Hit me with a PM for email exchanges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
