Title: Amiga (or even C64) games using Atari style paddles?
Post by: redrumloa on October 29, 2003, 03:18:44 PM

What Amiga or C64 games use Atari style (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41009&item=3056010989) paddles? I have a buttload of these and actually want to keep a set for myself to play some games. What about Atari emulators?

I think there was a few early C64 games that used the paddles or could be configured to use them.  Umm...   There was a submarine game I think. ;)

To be honest I think the Vic-20 had more paddle games.  :-P

any game can be used by paddles , there is an connector in the plug that aint in use anymore , dunno why joysticks never used them for other stuff etc.

but there is one thing that support the paddles and thats the PSX/ps2 adapter i have here.

makes me able to play superfrog etc on my cd32/a1200 etc with the analouge paddles stick on my ps2 pad!.

though it aint analouge really just an remap of digital and onto the analouge throttles/paddles.

cheers

What I think would be realy cool is I could use these paddles plugged into my catweasel MKIII, plugged into my Pegasos running MOS-Stella. I could play Super Breakout with these paddles, that would be ultra cool:-)

No, playing Tempest 2000 on my Jaguar with paddles, *that* is cool!
