CPUWIZ Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 You can just use Genesis pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Monkey Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Just try it.. you can use Genesis pads.. AFAIK the middle button is the fire button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Am I the only one who doesn't like using a pad to play Atari games? I dunno why but my scores are considerably lower when using a pad. Maybe it's just something you have to get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Try an Epyx 500XJ. One of my favourite sticks; very comfy and responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.. but my wife would rather use the pads so I have experience with them because of her. I have the best luck with the original CX-40's.

SteveW Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 You can also use a Sega joypad extension cable with an Atari joystick so you don't have to sit so close to the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use a Genesis Arcade stick quite often though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and unlike many 2600 joystick cables, the Sega extension cable will also work with paddles and driving controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukasa Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Try an Epyx 500XJ. One of my favourite sticks; very comfy and responsive. I've got one of those. It has to be my favorite controller for anything I can plug it into. It came with my C64 I bought off of ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one back in the early 90s and my ST days. Used it so much I ended up breaking the latch off of one of the microswitches so it had a hard time going in one direction. Never did get a suitable replacement. I did get one again a few months back, though, and it's still a great stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukasa Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Damn..... you must have played hard with it, cuz the switches in it are really heavy-duty like those in an arcade machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
