Gianna Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 181 You guys are doing well! Any tips on improving the amount of strikes? I can't seem to get more than one per game. Justin, RickR, Sabertooth and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Tip for strikes: The ball must be curving, and try to hit the front pin with the middle of the ball. Justin, Atari 5200 Guy, greenween and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Agree with RickR. Curving the ball at the right moment is key to getting strikes.

I can't seem to get more than one per game. In addition to @RickR's tip, the manual does state that it's tougher to roll more strikes playing on the A difficulty level.

Marco1019 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Also, to @Gianna's point, these scores are really amazing! It's going to be tough to finish on the podium in this challenge! Atari 5200 Guy and Gianna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it's starting to wear out due to heavy use. I need to find another. I like it because it's so tight and perfect for twitch games. The downside is the painful fire button. Games with lots of button pushing (like Asteroids, Missile Command, Yars' Revenge) can be agonizing with this joystick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a quality piece. If you care, I can report back whether it's good or not. Lead time on me getting it tho is like 6ish weeks. but hyperkin trooper II has been a good controller.

It's way too small and has no give at all. It takes quite a bit of force to get it to register. After a while, your thumb just gets sore.
