AlamoAtari Posted October 14, 2015 Report Posted October 14, 2015 I picked this beautiful specimen up today? Will this work with centipede and such?
AlamoAtari Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Posted October 14, 2015 They also have the one for the 5200 at that store as well. If someone wants it, I can buy it and ship to you. They got it marks at $25. So $27 after tax.
RickR Posted October 14, 2015 Report Posted October 14, 2015 It will work on basically any game. But if you can find games specifically designed for the "Trak-Ball" mode (there should be a switch on the bottom), it gets really good. Examples: 8-bit Missile Command. Or the centipede/millipede hacks for 2600.

You would have to use these hacks to use the trakball: Centipede: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/866-centipede-tb-released-2600/ Millipede: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/994-millipede-trakball-version-release/ Reactor: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/866-centipede-tb-released-2600/?p=6860 Load them onto your Harmony cart and use the CX-22 hacked game and you should be good to go!

AlamoAtari Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 Alright! More reason to get the harmony cart. Thanks for sharing the information!
LeeJ07 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 I have that exact Trak Ball. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
RickR Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 I have the other version. The CX80 version. That one I believe works better with the Atari 8 bit computer games. It works wonders with Activision Decathlon though. I get around 12,000 for my score with it. Oh man, I never thought of doing that! You just roll it one way really fast?
