After further review, I can honestly blame the 15 year old JAMMA controls I'm currently using for much of my poor results. I consider them a new type of joystick. They are 6-ways, with the 6 of 8 functioning directions shifting randomly during gameplay. 8) Can't wait for the new controls to arrive!!! --- Quote from: TOK on March 04, 2007, 12:34:00 pm ---Some games I'm not sure I'll ever be as good at, like Robotron. --- End quote --- Now there's a depressing thought. :'( --- Quote from: RayB on March 05, 2007, 10:01:56 am ---Rastan is *ahem* a sucky game. ;D Maybe that's the problem. (Let's face it, it has lousy controls for a 2D side scroller). --- End quote --- That may be true, however, I still feel compelled to master every game I played in my youth now that I have finally have unlimited quarters. :woot --- Quote from: Havok on March 05, 2007, 08:35:07 am ---Yeah baby, just use my cologne... Oh behave! ;D --- End quote --- Groovy baby, ya! |

My current high on Robotron is just over 100k and that is with t-sticks. I can't wait for Randy to finish his new 49-way interface so I can hook up my midway 49-way joys. Then I'll be able to kick some serious Robot Butt. I'll even get a chance to get past level 2 on Sinistar. The right control makes all the difference in the world. TTFN :cheers: Kaytrim |

--- Quote from: Chris G on March 04, 2007, 11:40:11 am ---So now that I have a semi-functional cabinet, I've been trying out some of the games I used to play as a kid. I remember being pretty good at most of them! Somehow over my nearly 20 year layoff, I seem to have lost all hand-eye coordination or something. I mean, I'm just awful!!! I could barely get past the 1st level on Rastan last night. Apparently I have a lot of work to do to get back in form. Anyone else been through a similar ordeal or did you all just pick up right where you left off in the 80's? :D --- End quote --- Defender/Stargate was my game back in the day. I feel like an old man now when I play it. After a few games, tho, I warm up to what I consider an "acceptable" level of play for me but nothing back like when I was 12. :) |

"Normal" now seems to be microswitches. |
