patbb Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 If crystal castles is selected, can the joystick version be use? Is it a different ROM set or are you asking if you can map controls to a joystick? it's a clone of the version 4 rom. The rom name is ccastlesj I think it just easier to map the joystick to move the bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patbb Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 KLAX Tetris Paperboy Peter Packrat Championship Sprint Gauntlet Road Runner Food Fight A.P.B. Pole Position I tried playing the Joystick version of Crystal Castles, it looks like there is not way of changing the speed of the bear, so this make it very difficult to play. If I had a trackball I would I put this game in and Marble madness and probably Missile command. Also, If I had a spinner I would have put breakout. Atari have so many good games it difficult to select only 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patbb Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Also getting ready for Tetris. I have to change the Cap kit on this one, I will try that tomorrow ... Never done this before. Also, a future HSC member playing Crystal Castles ... She got to the 3rd screen, not bad for someone who just celebrated her 6 birthday!

VectorGamer Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 If she get's an account on AA (like my son did) let Albert know because of the two separate ID's coming from the same IP address. Also, I got a Centipede cabinet last Sunday but I don't think it will be ready by the end of the tournament. I am going to get my butt handed to me in this tourney...
