Could anyone confirm if Atariage is really completing a Self Published version of Turbo.

I think the Paddles can be a good match for Turbo if an automatic option is included.

You should post this in the Atari 2600 forum. There's also a discussion about Turbo in the Prototype forum.

Naw, let's do this the Eugene Jarvis way:

One paddle for steering.
One paddle for gas pedal.
And one joystick for shifting gears.

...and the game would promptly lose any popularity it might have had due to a crummy control scheme

Over-pampered, namby-pamby kids these days! Back in my day, we had games with 22 buttons, three joysticks, a spinner, and sixteen toggle switches (for entering our initials in hex, natch)! And we liked it that way!

So maybe this was just another Turbo rumor, LOL

Paddles for an automatic option would be fine by me (who needs brakes).
