spy hunter merchandise????

[memorymoog]

the spy hunter for the 2600 that sega sold, was supposed to be sold with this addition that let you use more buttons or something. most people use the second controller for the other weapons on the car, but does anyone have the addition that sega sold? isd there a scan of it anywhere?

I do have the Dual Control Module; unfortunately, I'm not in a position to provide images at this time. The pictures would be unlikely to wow you: the DCM is basically just a black piece of molded plastic: no decals, no Spy Hunter or Sega logo molded in, nothing but the stark simplicity of pure function...which I suppose is admirable in its own way.

is this similar to the one made for the 5200?

it sounds like it

Moog,

 

The only thing that came with the cart was a plastic "joystick holder" that cradled both joysticks. It rotated the second joystick so the button was near the button on the first (primary) joystick. It just let you use the button on the other stick a bit easier. It wasn't a special adapter at all. This is from the Spy Hunter manual here on AA:

 

 

ASSEMBLING SPY HUNTER'S DUAL CONTROL MODULE

To play Spy Hunter on your game system, you must use the Dual Control Module

which enables you to join your two joysticks together in one unit.

This is necessary because Fire Buttons on both joysticks are needed to

play Spy Hunter.

 

1. Holding the Dual Control Module with the cable openings in the position

shown in diagram #1, guide joystick cable A through the opening closest

to you. (Bottom right)

2. Peel back the paper covering on the Velcro attachment and as you pull

up the cable slack, press the #1 joystick firmly into place with the

joy stick's Fire Button in the upper left hand corner as shown in

the diagram.

3. Now guide cable (B), the second joystick, through the cable opening

at the upper left hand corner of the Dual Control Module. Make sure

Fire Button is in the lower left position. Peel the paper covering

the Velcro attachment. Again, as you guide the cable all the way

through the opening, press the #2 joystick firmly into place inside

the Dual Control Module. Make sure that the Fire Buttons on the

joysticks are side-by-side toward the front, according to the diagram.

4. Plug the cable for joystick #1 into joyport #1. (Left)

Plug the cable for joystick #2 into joyport #2. (Right)

5. When playing Spy Hunter, you use only joystick #1 to maneuver your

Spy Car. Both Fire Buttons are used for activating your Spy Weapons.
