--- Quote from: pmc on December 02, 2005, 07:49:20 am ---That's why I'm going to build a replica CP. I'm sure I'll play way better than I used too. But it's too hard to play without a 2-way stick and the thumb button in exactly the right place (my button #4 is just a wee bit a stretch to get to with my thumb and then the 4-way stick pulls to the right too far and messes up the groove). Defender is all about rhythm. True controls are critical. --- End quote --- The odd thing is that my controls aren't laid out correctly, but I'm still better at it. Maybe that's just a testament to how POORLY I used to play :D But yeah, at first I was playing without a "smart bomb" button at all. After 3 or 4 games, I mapped my Player2 joystick to the smart bomb, so I have to hit it with my right hand to activate the bomb. Not the best solution, but workable. I just find that I'm actually better at aiming and controlling the ship than I used to be. Who knows. |

I have to pry my near 4 year old from my cab. he is an ace at 1944. starting him early. I found some games that are flashy enough and I like the continuation like 1944 does it. early on that kept him interested by keeping going by just plugging in more tokens. |

My girl's only <almost> two but has great hand eye coordination (so I heard, 'cause she's my first and I have no clue) so I'll have to let you know. But I will say she's into this. See the furry cab post. On the other hand, friends bring over their 14 and 8 year olds, and the first thing they want to do is check out the games. Man, it makes me smile :-) |

Kirk: What is this? [Picks up and twists the paddle controller] Am I controlling the volume? John: I'm just going to do this [twists the paddle controller as rapidly as possible]. Tim: John, don't do that. You'll die. Andrew: This is a lot like that game. Um, whatchamacallit |
