Voch Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Mindlink controller? I think that was just a fancy paddle controller anyway... Here's the Atari 2600 controllers page. Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Starplex 5 button controller .. Lightgun. But why would you want an all included controller? The beauty of the system is that you can change controllers .. including a foot pedal system. Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Im building a kiosk of sorts and would like to build in as much support as possible without having to plug controllers into the kiosk. Was there a game that made use of all 5 buttons on the five button controller? Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Thrust Gravitar and Asteroids games use all 5 buttons. and any of the death from above games (Space Invaders and its descendants) use the left right fire.

Stingray Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 But why would you want an all included controller? Can't speak for the original poster, but my answer to this question would be "because it's fun to build stuff". -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
