RickR Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 81829. I switched to a TAC-2 joystick, which I'm a little torn about. The button on the TAC-2 is so much easier on my hand and thumb. But the joystick isn't as tight as the Slik Stik. Still, the higher score....I think I like the TAC-2 best. One more note, there is a person on Facebook that wants to trade a TAC-2 for a Video Game Brain. What do you guys think? Good trade? That's why I got the TAC-2 out...to make sure it worked well for a trade. dauber, Justin and greenween 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 RickR tips - (heavily borrowed from Dauber) Making a tunnel in the center really works. Keep it cleaned up as best you can. Once the centipedes make it near the bottom, abandon the tunnel and chase and shoot. Spider can't seem to get you initially if you are in the center and on the bottom. So while you are tunnelling...stay center high. As soon as you hear the spider sound, go center/bottom. The points rack up quickly once you reach 50k. greenween, Cousin Mike and Justin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 This 7800 version is really great. Initially, I wasn't a big fan. Everything is "bigger/chunkier" than the arcade version. And I hate the lined border around the screen. But then I got addicted playing for this contest. The 7800 was built for this game. Things get really fast. There's not a trace of flicker. Super tight controls. I now love it. greenween, Cousin Mike, Justin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenween Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I felt the same way Rick! Did not like it at all when I started. Now it may be my favorite 7800 port!!

Sabertooth Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 That controller is amazing!!!!!! Thanks, AC! I made a pair of them a couple years back. They are my goto joysticks for anything that uses 2600/7800 compatible sticks.
