If it isn't painful you're just playing wimpy games I love the CX40 and I think my hands grew into odd contorted extensions of the controller, so I manage to play for quite long sessions with them, great controller. But I just got a Hyperkin Trooper and I have to say I m quite impressed, more use is required, but I think it will have it's place for some games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Indy 500 thou it is more of a party game. Sprint Master is more interesting as a one player game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane857 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Bought this on ebay earlier for £80 sealed. I don't mind paying a lot of money for rare games if they are actually good. As soon as it arrives thou that seal is coming off! I actually want to play the game, not leave it on the shelf gathering dust... 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for sharing pics of the box🤗 The game is great, it looks so nice and plays very well... and it can be put on the biggest screen you can get, like HERO. It looks iconic with its reduced graphic style🕹 These kind of Games still look great even 40 years later🤙 Need to investigate why there was no Worm War II🤔 Maybe worms are more clever than human mankind🙄 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the Painline Joystick, I'll keep one to show people how they are... and I keep two of the the better alternative😊 Yes, buttons left and right... but the leave switches have the Quickshot II style and work quite well after I bended them a bit🕹 Some games on the 7800 I actually prefer the Proline joysticks over the CX-78 joypad. It's really hard to play Pole Position II with the joypad, as it's way to easy to accidentally downshift while turning. The various 2600 and 7800 Pac-Man games are nice with the Proline joystick as well. Edited March 2 by Major Havoc 2049 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane857 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Bought Star Raiders today for £45. Absolutely mint condition. Hopefully the touch pad gets supported along with the driving paddles in future updates... Another for my original VCS for now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I've thought of buying Star Raiders as well... but no point if the controller is not supported, so I'll hold off until it is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
