Tron-what was your first reaction?

Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:23 PM

When I first saw the game Tron in the arcades I was awed by the colors and the graphics, and the long lines waiting to play it. But once I got a few goes, I thought it looked great but had terrible game play. What were your first thoughts upon seeing this one in the arcades?

SIO2PC and Linux

Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:38 AM

Does anyone here use an SIO2PC with Linux? Does it work with any of the linux distros? I see that Atarimax sells them with software for various forms of Microsoft Windows, but my wife an I use Debian Linux and Xubuntu Linux on our computers at home. Thanks for any input on this.

various controllers on the 8-bit

Thu Jun 2, 2011 10:00 PM

The subject of how well 2600 paddles work on the various 8-bit computers came up in the high score club recently, and apparently the paddles don't work as well on the XL and XE models as they do on the two original tanks (400 and 800). Is this the case with any other controllers?

Are the 7800 prolines and joypads okay to use on the various 8-bit systems? Are any controllers unusable, or not advisable? I once read that some Sega controllers could actually damage Ataris due to voltages that they sent into the consoles. But I don't know if that's actually possible since I don't understand how the controllers actually work. Does anyone know the answers to any of my ramblings? I generally use the CX40 or a WICO stick (ball, bat, or boss).

Thanks in advance for any input.
