DhaemonX Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Can anyone tell me if the Journey game for the 2600 works on the 2600+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maztr_0n Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Okay i finally got the CX24 and i have to say, it might be my favorite arcade joystick, then again i dont have much experience with joysticks but i felt like my larger hands did well with it, i kinda went hard on Air Raiders with it, would i want atari to release a CX24+? I'd say only as a 2 controller + holder bundle for Robotron 2084, i feel like that would be a sublime experience I dont have the 7800 versions but Ikari and Commando were decent on the CX24 I am so glad the CX78+ is the one getting the modern treatment 100% i think it is the most approachable controller and probably best for non-arcade based titles like Bentley Bears Quest or Scrapyard Dog But its a great arcade at home stick to me, and thats totally a fun vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, what @Intellivision Master said. Just try it on the latest experimental firmware if it's NTSC or PAL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree. The CX24 is perfect for 7800 games like Commando and Ikari Warriors(especially when you have to exit the tank and have to push both buttons) . I find the CX78 better for side scrolling games that don't require all directional movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maztr_0n Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Ngl since the CX78+ now has a wireless option i should say if a CX24+ existed, i dont think anybody would want it wireless more than a more durable CX24, and i'd only wanna see it if it came with robotron 2084 in a two pak + holder, as i feel like the kind of people who would be into this are twin stickers and those with very large hands. Most people will spring for CX78+ Controllers and i'm glad thats the main focus. But i'm too broke for a 7800+ right now, but i'm hoping in a couple months if its still in stock with bentley bears crystal quest and such that i could get my hands on that, seems like a system much more my speed i guess, i dig 7800 a lot, i do dig the 2600 too but 7800 is so sleek! plus that wireless controller would probably signal more contemporary style titles like BBCQ and the like, where you wouldnt need to sit close to the TV [Now i love sitting close to the TV with arcade/style games, but honestly i feel like i'd mainly use a joystick with those games] but when i sit close to the TV i feel like you've gotta have the classic joystick setup and floor gaming vibes, but i imagine a wireless controller would do wonders for those whom want more RPGs or Action/Adventures and just use the controller for most menu options and starting games, plus it might be the most familiar thing to some younger relatives of mine. I think just generally the CX40, CX24 and CX78 compliment eachother greatly and maybe theres a space for all three of them. Also i really like how BBCQ is the pack in for the 7800+, i love those adventure island style romps like JJ and Jeff and Wonder Boy, kinda feels like the lost pack-in title 40 years in the making. So i'd like to get it with a system to kills 2 birds with 1 stone. Cant wait to see what else will be cooking by Plaion and Atari. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played it, and I wouldn't buy it separately, but it's a super great choice for pack-in. Just good times. Just save up ! Your broke, but you have some kind of income from some source, yes ? So eat rice and beans a few extra nights, don't buy coffees during lunch or whatever, and you'll get there. you only have to get 140 bucks together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that kind of living situation, maybe luckily isnt the type i have, i dont buy coffees and my food is covered for me, i do think it should take 2-4 months for me to scrounge up what i need though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maztr_0n Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I swear somebody asked me to try the Pro-Line and post which games felt nicer on it than the CX78+ And i'd say it was a very select ammount, mostly arcade titles, but commonly also Flight games like Super Huey and Air Raiders or racers like Fatal Run, the biggest issue for me besides what could eventually be cramps is seemingly how loose/cheap the connector seems to be. I feel like i've had something like Down not registering or a certain button and i have to plug and replug the controller a few times to get back to full functionality and it doesnt feel as snug of a fit as the other controllers do which might be an age thing but it doesnt help that image of the akward budget joystick. Plus why does the top spin? I dont think it acts as a paddle, so why is it spinnable? Not a complaint its just funny how it can be a fidget toy, thats fun. I do think a 7800 joystick is more than a novelty, but i do think if a CX24+ exists, it would need to be much more solid, the buttons feel arcade/name brand home computer solid but maybe the stick would need some tweaking, not sure how but if it would ever be on the table it would make an interesting addition. But only as a Robotron Pack-In as said a bunch of times before or as a secondary to a complete pair of CX78+ controllers and if it was bundled with a 7800+ it would need to be a seperate deluxe set with wireless CX78+ and wired CX24+ joysticks. But overall its alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall its alright. Yeah it was me. Loose connectors.. at the 2600+ side ? that might be the 2600+. I remember it being tight on the real 7800. Plus also if it's 40 years old, it's gonna be a bit worse for wear. I don't remember if the original top spinned lol. Maybe it's just yours ? Someone confirm.

JetmanUK Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) This week's haul, two NTSC 2600 games and two PAL 7800 games. Mat Mania is actually a CIB copy, but I've already put it in its plastic protector and 'filed it'. The best game here, hmmm I feel is Frogger 2. Worst, the CIB game. 🤣 Although I imagine it would be fun in two player mode. Super Cobra is a lot more playable than my PAL copy and Planet Smashers is OK, actually both are overall not bad shooters. Frogger 2 is definitely the star of the show here. Just two loose NTSC games in the post and that's gonna be me until the newly released games I think. My house is full. 🤷🏻🤣 Edited August 22 by JetmanUK 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
