TrekMD Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 The only thing missing from mine is the manual. Trying to find one on Ebay but they are rare. Just saved the search to see if one shows up at a reasonable price. RickR and sramirez2008 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

TrekMD Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 There's one being sold now but it is in crappy condition and they are asking for way too much money. I did find a PDF of the manual, though. Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait to play Stramash Zone with this baby. *** Shout-out to https://tenpencearcade.co.uk/controllers-for-sale/ for this wonderful controller. I also have his Asteroids controller and can't say enough about the build quality of these his controllers and how well they work. They really provide that arcade like experience. You can buy with confidence. Very nice, Steve! I'm also a huge believer in the role of controllers and the playing experience. When I dig more into the Vectrex, I will have to get one of these. I recently got the track ball controller (which I forgot to post) and need to get the track ball games. Maybe they're already on one of the multi-carts I have. sramirez2008 and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I got back from a short trip and found some packages waiting for me. The Switch games are from Play-Asia. I believe I pre-ordered those many many moons ago. My Towers 2 pre-order from Songbirds also arrived along with Kings of Edom. Sky Raider and the 7800 games are from Gooddealgames's recent sale.

I have "Spinner" games on a couple of Spin Cart Multicarts (that's why I have a spinner controller too), but I thought I had TB games on a cart too. Maybe I'm wrong, I'll have to check the carts. socrates63 and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sramirez2008 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Not a recent purchase, but I have a ColecoVision Expansion Module #1 too. I like to play Atari on all of my consoles. I've had my ColecoVision for less than 2 years now, but have to admit that I really like most of their arcade ports. Not a fan of the OG controllers, but I have plenty of other options today.🙂 TrekMD, RickR, socrates63 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just adding ball tops to the controllers is enough to make them much more usable at that point! Highly recommended as I didn't care for the OG feel either.

socrates63 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Mail call -- After looking for years, I finally found a copy of Rogue by Epyx (for a price I could accept). I loved the original char based game, and Rogue by Epyx is a great update of the original. Sword of Fargoal (for iOS) is the game that I found was closest to the spirit and game play of Rogue. I cringe whenever I see "rogue-like" to describe many modern games They don't look nor feel anything like Rogue. Rogue and Empire by Interstel were the games that occupied most of my gaming time on the Atari ST. What are your favorites from that era?

Hold on a sec....Isn't "Rogue" the really old ASCII based adventure game? I played a ton of that on the Commodore PET in high school. I had no idea they made a commercial version later. Is it still the same game with crude graphics? Sabertooth and socrates63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Rogue is that old character graphics game, and it was commercialized with updated graphics. I can't remember whether the game lets you switch back and forth between the new graphics and the original. I'm not sure whether the game is completely true to the original or there were game play changes made, but it retains the feel of the original game mechanics.
