E. King Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, Joe said: What are you using to keep the controllers in place E.king? Good question. I just put them on a surface that grips to the rubber feet on the bottom of the joystick base. It is a foam pad that I am using. I also put Thumb grips on the top of the joysticks too which helps. The ones that fit dual analogs fit perfectly on the top of the joysticks. Edited May 8, 2022 by E. King Sabertooth and D.joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I have not been able to get close to my best score so far, so it looks like I am out of the running for top spots. 🙂 Too tough for me! RickR and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we all try to get the top spot, but it's always been the Atari.io tradition to have fun with it. Share tips. Get better. We can't all be #1, but we can certainly have a lot of fun. I hope no one is ever discouraged from participating just because they don't think they can beat the top score! @Mockduck, your videos are a blessing to me (being a new VCS owner). Very enjoyable and educational. D.joe, E. King and Sabertooth 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I almost always die now when the "all-bees" portion starts right at about 3,000 points. Sabertooth, E. King and Stlrs95 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 The PC doesn't really give a good option other than dual sticks (at least that I could find). I was trying to see if I could do just a simple "shoot in the direction I move", but no go. You can do mouse that way, but it's super awkward.

It's cool that they've went the extra mile with Classic Controller support for the VCS though. Edited May 14, 2022 by Sabertooth E. King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the game more with the dual classic joysticks but I just cant seem to get past 7k with them because the speed and accuracy of movement/shooting is not as good obviously.
