www.atarimania.com Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi all, I recently got this Coleco controller but could not find any picture of it for identification. Can anybody tell me what it is? Thanks :wink: -- Atarimania http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Looks like a homebrew jobber where somebody used an Atari 7800 knob to replace the standard flat knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome_pa Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 That's exactly what it looks like. But the keypad is different. The colecovision has white buttons, not green, black or yellow like this one. But it could be a homemade overlay to cover-up discolored buttons.

bjk7382 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Seems like a neat idea, but it is too tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Colecovision/Atari 7800 hybrid homebrew - hmmm. How does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 Thanks a lot, I should've noticed it was a 7800 joystick knob -- Atarimania http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I think that is the Colecovision overlay for Ken Uston Blackjack/Poker stuck in there over the keypad. Other than that, it is a standard controller with an Atari 7800 knob on it -pretty weird looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 That thing looks uncomfortable to use. I never had a problem with the sticks on the stock CV controllers, I'm not a big fan of the fire button placement. It's why I always use Super Action sticks.

eric_ruck Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I used to get pinched by that big flat CV knob, this one actually makes sense to me. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
