midwest_cdn Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Well after wanting one for awhile to play tempest 2k, I finally got 1.Needless to say It was well worth the wait. Took some gettin used to from playing with the normal controller, but after sometime it starts to feel very natural. As some people on the boards who say the controller is " cheaply " made, i disagree. If not mistaken the knob is one piece metal. Very much like the ones u used to find in the arcades. Nothing is loose and is solid. I even go as far as saying the rotary device would last longer than the controller itself. Very high quality. I had my doubts , but after actually playing with one i am very impressed. Very good product Tyrant ! Mass produce those suckers, very good , high quality product for any jag collection.

Tyrant Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Aww Im glad you like it. One question remains however... has it helped you improve your game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwest_cdn Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Dude i think that is the best part, because the rotary gives u better movement control it helps the score. Big time. I used to miss power ups with the normal controller, but now i miss nothing. The normal controllers controls good, but at times doesnt offer the better control the rotary can offer. Yeah I know for a fact that million mark will be passed with the rotary easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDork3000 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hey Tyrant, ever thought about adding rapid fire to your rotary controller? That would kick major ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hey Tyrant, ever thought about adding rapid fire to your rotary controller?That would kick major ass! You don't need it...once you have the particle laser you can spray fire everywhere at once anyway Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 As stone said, Tempest has autofire at the maximum possible rate already, just push and hold. Autofire on Jump or Superzapper would also be somewhat pointless, and autofire on pause (as some megadrive controllers had) causes more gameplay problems than it solves.

midwest_cdn Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 If u need a slow mo button, maybe u shouldnt be playing tempest ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 If u need a slow mo button, maybe u shouldnt be playing tempest ? I dunno, by about level 60 I need one lol. Then again, on the first few levels I need a speed up button, they're sooo boring (but you need them so you get enough extra lives to have a hope of beating hte later levels).

liquidcross Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Now if only these controllers were readily available, without getting into bidding wars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwest_cdn Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 You pay for what you get. VEry high quality controller. And from tyrants remarks lower production number than any battlesphere or aircar game. If your a die hard tempest fan, it is a worth while buy.
