Simek Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 So does anyone use genesis or master system controllers with their 2600. I started using mine last night and it helps out missle command a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onklsven75 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Yar's revenge gets pretty easy if you use a genesis pad. Almost too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malix Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I know I will probably get flammed for this but the Genesis controller is all I use. I like it better than the Joystick. *malix ducks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian M Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 quote: Originally posted by MoJoFLTR: I use a Genesis arcade stick. It doesn't seem to make anything easier, but I prefer the feel of an arcade controller. Is that the old one (circa 1989) with the bizarre looking palm-rest on the left side? I got one ages ago for Christmas and I think they called it the Genesis Arcade Power stick. You got three buttons and three independently controlled "Megafire" switches. The Megafire adjustment slider is particularly smooth which I happen to like. Mine is pretty heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian M Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 quote: Originally posted by MoJoFLTR: Adrian: Mine has 6 buttons, but it is very similar to the 3 button arcade stick. I got it at a thrift store for 50 cents. Wow, 50 cents? I think mine cost like $59 in 1989 and I only got 3 buttons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citykid Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 will genesis controllers fit to 7800 like they do 2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 quotewill genesis controllers fit to 7800 like they do 2600 Yeah, but you can only use one button. This shouldn't be a problem with games like Galaga. I also only use Genesis controllers, preserves my 2600 joysticks, plus it's more accurate. Much easier on the hands, as well.

bcprs1 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I just started using the Sega Master System controllers and I love it. They are a lot easier on the hands and make a lot of games more accurate to control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q1 - Yup Q2 - nope no modding, just use the B button only modding needed to be done is if you want to play 2 button games on your 7800, but you can play 7800 games that only need one button with the gen controller to [ 03-21-2002: Message edited by: Lemmi ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroxalarb Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I bought a whole bunch of joysticks at Savers for AU$1 each.....I can't identify most of them cause they have very little identifying text on them........I bought them to sell on ebay, but I can't be bothered doing it just yet......anybody interested in them? I can get a picture if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
