Draugr Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I wanted to ask if anyone knows if there were ever remakes of the Sesame Street Kid Controller overlays? I searched through these forums but only saw very old threads and there wasn't really any info other than perhaps the idea came up before and someone was possibly willing to make the reprinted overlays for the kid controller. Anyhow, I have a young niece (6 yrs) who loves video games which mostly consists of Apple iPad games and such. A few years back when she was 4, she loved playing Pac-man and Galaxian on my arcade machine, so I wanted to start showing her the Atari, Intellivision, and Colecovision so she could enjoy some of the classics and also (hopefully) develop an appreciation for the games and systems that were part of the home video game craze back in the 80s and also the ones I grew up with when I was just a few years older than she is now. Well, hopefully there is good news. I searched ebay, but some of those Sesame Street games are $$$ and I'd only need the overlays. If anyone has any info, please let me know. thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) I searched "atari 2600 sesame street overlays" in google and came up with quite a few results that it looks like you should be able to print, you just might have to play around with the size to get them right but should be able to just print them on photopaper I would think. example of what I found https://www.google.com/search?q=atari+2600+sesame+street+overlays&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi9v6TPhpjTAhUn6oMKHeoPDAwQ_AUIBigB&biw=1299&bih=567#imgrc=X85_e08VMC1ejM: Edited April 9, 2017 by SignGuy81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Actually, I have a question about these games too. Is there a way to play these without the Kids controller? I don't actually have it, but I'd still love to show them to my nieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the keypads, but I do have a bunch of Video Touch Pads. Bought a box full of random controllers that had like half a dozen of them...pretty sure at least one will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
