But the main thing was the button ws on the left. And for a lefty it was a pain to use. I got the original trooper and the biggest thing was the 2 buttons. They both do the same thing. But at least I can use the stick with my left hand and the button with my right. No more reaching over to the left like when I was a kid. So much better. Not sure what the version 2 of the trooper has to offer. But the first trooper is not bad. Wow, the shape of thumbstick on that looks pretty uncomfortable. Wonder why they didn't just use a round/circular thumbstick?

I too am a lefty-not being haughty about it, but several of my friends are some of the GOATS on their respective systems-you'd be amazed at how many "top players" are left handed, truly seems to be a thing... Pretty ambidextrous, I play guitar competently(lol, that's NOT bragging)right handed, but I've never struggled with adapting to controllers, and I've used them all. On the CX-40, I appreciate being able to support the base solidly with my strong hand, and also use my strong thumb for button pressing. I recently got a TAC-2, it hadn't even occurred to me to try to adapt my play and use the right button, but knowing me I probably will now, just to see if I can. Lefties Rule!!!

Steven Pendleton Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 First soundtrack get of the year: Battle Garegga. Kind of difficult to see, but I'm too lazy to take another picture. I wish they'd put the bonus disc in a jewel case instead of a sleeve thing, but they didn't. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/130/#findComment-4984298 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Yesterday I bought the ugliest copy of Virtua Racer for the Sega 32x I've ever seen. The label is thrashed. I had watched it, and the seller offered me a discount... So I was like oh ok. I wanted it because I want to use the shell for a 32x homebrew (probably Rick Dangerous). Then I was thinking... What do I do with the PCB, assuming Virtua Racer works? I have recently started collecting 32x, and I don't have Virtua Racer. Then I remembered I have the cart of the Genesis version... And I recently found out the cart is dead. So yeah... I plan on swapping in the 32x version, assuming it works and fits. Happy accidents in game collecting.

DragonGrafx-16 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Don't ask me why two of the carts had no label... so I made my own... nothing fancy but at least I can tell what those 2 games are without having to insert them first. Also the logo on the C64 isn't missing... I just need to glue it back on.

They may not be quite as responsive or well designed as a Sega Genesis controller, but there's just something that feels neat about playing with an official Atari joypad controller Thanks! I'm actually surprised by how small the CX-78 Joypad is. It's less wide than a standard NES pad. I definitely prefer the Dpad on this as it has a nice satisfying feel. Don't care for the thumbstick attachment though...just doesn't feel right during gameplay. That being said, I'm a joystick guy through and through, so the CX-78 won't be a heavy use item. Just wanted to get one in good shape before they become overly scarce. The 7800 Proline controller, believe it not, is actually really good to use. I tested it out via emulation on Ms Pac-Man and Jr Pac-Man and I like the short throw of the stick as well as the somewhat tactile positive response. This is one of the gold plated Best enhanced models, but yeah, I like it so far! 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/130/#findComment-4989644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this switch version is like the one that came out a year or two later for the PS4, the director's cut. I'm not sure of the differences as I haven't played it yet. It was a cool find though. Came with the soundtrack on a little mini CD and an art booklet, nice package.

Atari_Bill Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It seems like Atari Twentieth Century Fox prices have gone a little nuts lately.
