+jgkspsx Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The sale is on until December 26th, FYI. Everything seems great so far. I was disappointed but not surprised that Tempest 2K doesn’t seem to support rotary control on the classic controller. It would be nice if they added that in.

It does support the rotary controls. you might have to go into the game's settings and then you have to hit the Fuji button to go into the "Stick Setting". I've been playing Tempest 2k with the Classic Joystick and using the rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I see, it is using the analog hack. With the left and right directions still working I thought it was being mapped somehow (and I was hoping it would make the bonus levels playable, but no such luck.) It feels a bit slow even with sensitivity cranked all the way up. My biggest complaint is that all of the buttons are multiply mapped. I can’t jump or use the superzapper without changing the view or pausing (and then invariably triggering the volume adjustments). It would be a lot better if you could map the pause button and leave things entirely unmapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a lot better if you could map the pause button and leave things entirely unmapped. I see what you mean. Even with the sensitivity on max it's way too slow to be playable. I've been thinking though that we need to fabricate some sort of actual standard size spinner top to attach to the top of the classic controller. I think that might help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadiATIon Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 They clarified afterwards that the VCS version already contained these improvements. So no update for us. We had a version already advanced although delivered after the others. It is the privilege of delays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Vinnie Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Here are my thoughts on the major patch notes on the compilation that just won't quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The patch released on other platforms is the version the VCS got when it launched in December, so the VCS version - should - have all this stuff already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small case to be made for getting the Atari VCS then! Tempest 2000 using a spinner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STeSearcher Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 When I downloaded it I put it on the internal drive. Then I installed an internal 500gb drive and move the game to it. Won't launch. Deleted the game and reinstalled it on the new drive, still won't launch. It acts like it is but then sends me back to the menu. Any ideas?

Atari Nut Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Do any other games work on that internal drive you installed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STeSearcher Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hmm, I only installed the one game on there so far. I'm not a home but I will check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STeSearcher Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Ok, I downloaded another game and installed it on the new drive. It won't launch either. I formatted it through the bios I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STeSearcher Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 After uninstalling, reformatting the drive and re-installing the game, it still won't run. This is the M.2 drive recommended by ETA Prime, 500gb unit. What could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave1 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 So I have a Switch and I noticed that the analog stick response on the Tempest arcade game (in the arcade section) actually has analog response. The further you tilt the thumbstick, the faster you go. It's controlled like this from day one. I was hoping for the same controls on Jag T2K once the patch was released, but it is definitely not offering any analog control on the Switch version- just digital... I suppose we could give them some feedback about this. What do you say?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I haven't picked this up yet, but I look forward to picking it up in a future Steam sale eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
