82-T/A Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Arrg!!! I sooo didn't need that. I've got to pay to reshingle my roof, a new garage door, and storm shutters... so this was the LAST purchase I needed. But, I saw it there on eBay and I couldn't help it... I paid $60 bucks for a new modified rotary controller. What do you guys think? Is it worth it for Tempest? I do love the game, so I figured it would be pretty cool. Any idea if it works with ANY other games at all? Do any of you guys also have that rotary controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbrad Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I made my own, out of not much. You can too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 I made my own, out of not much. You can too! That's kinda cool! heheh... But, I already paid by PayPal, so I've got it coming whether I want it now or not! haha.. Quick question though... I was just playing a minute ago (only did 186,000 this time... that's not that great, is it?) and it occured to me. With a rotary controller, how do you move around when you're going through the bonus stages where you fly through the hoops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 With a rotary controller, how do you move around when you're going through the bonus stages where you fly through the hoops?Connect a standard controller on the second port. During the bonus stages, you will be able to use it to steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatdan Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Absolutely, 100% worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaData Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) I made my own, out of not much. You can too! That's kind of rather neat but if Jump and Superzapper are on the Jaguar Controller and Fire and Direction are on the paddle... plus, I need a second controller for the bonus levels? Seems like I need to grow another arm and hand to play this game with high-score rotary dexterity. Edited May 24, 2006 by MegaData Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Playing Tempest with a the rotary on the bonus levels works something like this... Left-Right = Paddle Up = A Down = C Something like that. The rotary left right on these levels is very jumpy and hard to control, not that it wasn't anyway. But possible all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hey guys, Quick question... any chance that this rotary controller will work with Breakout 2000? That would be VERY VERY cool.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Why do you ask, are you trying to beat the high score? As far as I know, this will not work, Tempest 2000 had special code written for the rotarycontroller. I don't know the excact details, so anybody correct me if I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
