Controller restoration day!

Recommended Posts

Well, I came home from work with a *little* bit of energy left, so I decided to take apart these Wico Command Controllers and Trakball Controller I purchased on ebay a few weeks ago. Not like the Wico controllers really needed any major cleaning, but they did sound slightly crusty in movements. Tooks em apart, performed the usual detailed cleaning, and used some of my trusty friend...TV tuner cleaner/lubricant. Did the same for the trakball controller. Everything is just so damn smooth now, better than new!

 

Well, I played Millipede with the joysticks for about an hour. Works beautifully. BUT, the Trakball control really hit the spot. It's like arcade Millipede right here in the living room :) I know Millipede and Centipede utilize the trakball controller, but does anybody have a list of every game (or at least the fun games) that utilize this controller?

Missile command. If you use the Atari trackball, you can use the true trackball mode. I think someone made a hack for centipede to use true trackball mode too.
