Clock Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 If you look at the Pal cart it says on the label 'Use with paddle controllers' I always used joystick. Does it work with paddles? If it does, then it needs to be included in the 'Paddles Controller' section of the website. I can not test it as my Atari is put away while work is being done on my house.

Osmeroid Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Sorry, can't comment on the Pengo title - I DO like you're avatar though! Sid is a 'class' act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 That's got to be a mistake. Paddles only go left/right. You'd be a sitting penguin if that was the case. Then all the sno-bee's would get you. Of course it could use two paddles like Marble Craze... But I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 Yeah the avatar is quite cool, I suppose.... I will change it when I get bored with it. Back to the subject matter, I agree and Pengo needs to move in all directions, but it clearly says on the label, use paddle controllers. Please can someone test this and report back, as I am itching to find out. But won't get Atari set up to Monday or Tuesday at earliest.

There are many 1988 releases that have the incorrect controller listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 After reading your post Clock, I pulled out my, Pengo which is the NTSC type, but mine says use with Joystick. If your pal version says use with paddles, then I think your pal cart should be considered more rare the the correct version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock Posted March 15, 2003 Author Share Posted March 15, 2003 No, my Pal is a silver label similar to the NTSC one shown on AA but if you look at the Pal cart on AA with a Black label it clearly states use Paddle controls. I don't know how rare my Silver label pal cart is, but they are definatly very rare, I have only heard of 2 black labels and seen just my silver label cart in Pal format.
