FireTiger Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Ok, I want your opinions and some facts, What is the list of games that use right vs left controller? Wizard of War The list of ones that use the right controller if both controllers are plugged in. Seems like some US games do this but I might just be crazy The games that use the switches for something other then difficultly or pause/ black-white. Space Shuttle The games with infinate lives with the switches. Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes Games with more then one name. (excluding Sears) Stargate-Defender II Lochjaw-Shark Attack And the strangest games for the 2600. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Another game that uses the switches is Starmaster (I think) and Mnetworks Space Attack. There's probably others. Strangest game for the 2600? God, where does one start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I vote X-Man for strangest... but yes, Starmaster also uses the black/white switch to switch from map to playfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Off the top of my head, the games that use the right joystick for single-player games are: Air-Sea Battle Star Ship Surround Basketball Home Run Slot Machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I'd also have to vote the Atari's "X-rated" games as the strangest. I think the game with strangest title, though, is Tapeworm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Atari Man Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 The list of ones that use the right controller if both controllers are plugged in. Seems like some US games do this but I might just be crazy I think Towering Inferno used the right joystick, but I can't say for sure (been forever since I've played it). The games that use the switches for something other then difficultly or pause/ black-white. Space Shuttle Phaser Patrol uses the color/b/w switch for shields, I think. And the strangest games for the 2600. ... I thought Raiders of the Lost Ark was kind of weird. And what the heck did repeatedly falling into a swamp (and using gold bricks to get out) have to do with the Porky's movie?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Mangia! Is pretty strange... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 Surrond... hat explaines why I get nowhere on that game, just like I didn't know/remember defender (or was it defender II) needed both joysticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Games with more than one name: Adventures Of Tron/Adventures On GX-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospeedde Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Ghostbusters uses the difficulty switches for a few different things, which is why I don't really play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The games that use the switches for something other then difficultly or pause/ black-white.Space Shuttle I think Riddle of the Sphinx falls into that category.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The reason that Wizard of Wor requires the usage of the right controller for player 1 was simply due to the fact that they wanted to mimic the arcade setup as closely as possible. Play the arcade version of WOW and sure enough, player 1 uses the right joystick. When you think about it, this tpe of setup is rather odd.

128bytes Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 To me, the strangest game -- in a good way -- when it came out was Adventure. I won't go into the detail here, but it sure was different than anything else that came before. For the same good reason, Synthcart is the strangest new homebrew IMHO.

candiru Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The games that use the switches for something other then difficultly or pause/ black-white. Tomcat F-14 flight simulator Games with more then one name. (excluding Sears) I think Pelé's Soccer and Championship soccer are the same.
