Deteacher Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Using three atomic missile launching bases you defend your cities against incoming missiles.

aftermac Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hey, 'Teach... did the game submissions from last season get tossed at the beginning of season 2? I was just curious, because I submitted this game last season and noticed my name missing from the "Chosen By" section. I only ask because I submitted a couple other trackball games at the same time and would like to resubmit them if they were purged. Thanks!

Lauren Tyler Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Unfortunately, between my computer crashing, and not being able to use MAME on this laptop, I'm out of action for awhile.

roadrunner Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 5,220 I just figured out i have to use a mouse instead of a joystick to play trackball games. I tryed like heck to get the joystick to work with missile command but no dice. I tryed remapping the joystick inputs x axis and y axis, i was all messed up. I had a high score of 425 using a joystick. I hope we don't play any light gun games, i still haven't figured out how to play those yet.

An even better option is to get a smooth rolling USB trackball. I have two I use... the X-Arcade trackball in my MAME cabinet, and the other is a 22-year old ADB Curtis MVP mouse for Macintosh, that I adapt to USB. Very nice large smooth rolling trackball. 1 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/151827-hsc-season-2-week-13-missile-command/#findComment-1857761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out how to play light gun games, use a mouse. duh! I played some Crossbow and Terminator 2 Judgment Day. I would have no problamo if we play some light gun games in future rounds of the MAME High Score Club.
