  1. I grabbed a few 2600 games today, including Star Raiders ($0.50/ea at the local used everything store :D) and I'd like to dive into it but I find myself without the touchpad since they just had the game cartridge. I was wondering though if anyone know if I can use a Genesis gamepad in place of the Star Raiders touchpad? If so, is there a control map somewhere I could get pointed to?

     

    If this isn't a possibility does anyone know if there's an alternative to using the touchpad and still have full controls in the game? Its looking like the touch pad isn't THAT expensive on the Internet but with the holiday approaching I figure it'd be a couple weeks or more before I actually got my hands on the touch pad thanks to shipping.

  2. I'm quite partial to B.O.B.

     

    Its probably not even close to the most underrated game of all time but it is a very fun 16-bit era platformer. They say the Genesis version is inferior to the SNES version. I've played both (though I only own it on Genesis) and it is great on either system IMO.

     

    For older titles I would say Bosconian. A few years back, Arizona's lottery ran a Pac-Man scratcher ticket and beyond cash prizes you could also earn Pac-Man related swag. I ended up with one of those 6-in-1 game sticks that had Pac-Man and some other old games, including Bosconian, on it. I was blown away by Bosconian and wondered why I'd never heard of it until then. Very fun game.
