Sabertooth Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Tailgunner by indie developer Grizzly Machine is a throwback homage to the arcade games of yesteryear. A modern take on the 1979 vector game Tail Gunner, this version eschews the vector look for slick, anime styled WWII flying machines. The style of the 40s is present throughout in the art deco menus and swinging big band sounds. A fun game that's worth a look!

Rex Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 New to the VCS and bought this today. I can’t seem to get the modern style game controller to work. All I can do is move the gun with the right joystick. Fire and other functions don’t work except go to menu etc…. Seems to work fine with the Atari style joystick and I can aim down the gun and fire fine. Anyone see this issue?

Sabertooth Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Hi @Rex & welcome to the forum and Club VCS. I just tried it out and it seems to be working fine for me. Right thumbstick aims, right trigger shoots, left thumbstick moves planes, and d-pad brings up special controls. I did have to wait until the tutorial directed me to shoot, turn, etc. before those features were enabled. Also - FYI - the firmware on my Modern Controller is Version 1.47. If you haven't already, you might try updating. (System - Devices - Update Controllers) Finally, repairing Bluetooth may also help if the issue persists. I hope that helps!

Rex Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thanks. I recalibrated and it started to work. I had already calibrated so I’m not sure what the issue was. Works now. Sabertooth and DegasElite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Apparently Tailgunner is no longer available from the VCS store. The Dec closed up shop and removed the game from all platforms. If you have it, don't delete it! DegasElite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
