jpfalcon2003 #1 Posted November 3, 2006 Been playing this one alot lately. My older brother also loves this game. The graphics are fine, but just wish it would have let you have paddle support as well. It would have been alot better. Besides Marble Craze, what was the last released 2600 title to use paddle support? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rheffera #2 Posted November 3, 2006 I have no idea what the last paddle based game was, but i agree about off the wall. Its a great game and that delay before the ball gets served is more than bareable, and to those who disagree, go cry under your bed . Would have been great with paddle supptort...the whole concept of power ups in the game reminds me of arkanoid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jboypacman #5 Posted November 3, 2006 Off the Wall is one of my favorite Atari 2600 games.Discovered it on the FlashBack2 and had to go and buy the cart.Reminds me of Arkanoid alot.I wish it would use the paddles as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have been alot better. Besides Marble Craze, what was the last released 2600 title to use paddle support?Do you mean the last commercially-released paddle game or the most recent homebrew? We've seen lots of homebrews that use the paddle (which I love), but I don't think there were any paddle games being made late in the 2600's life, when Off the Wall was developed. I guess they figured nobody had paddles anymore, or that not enough people had them to justify a paddles-only title. The latest paddle-based commercial releases I can remember are some of the 1983 titles (Solar Storm, Star Wars Jedi Arena, Tac-Scan, etc). Not sure which of them came out last, though.

A.J. Franzman #8 Posted November 4, 2006 I guess they figured nobody had paddles anymore More likely, they realized that almost nobody had jitter-free paddle controllers anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
