Double Dribble - Can't figure it out!
« on: July 02, 2007, 04:27:22 pm »
So I thought I would play some Double Dribble on the arcade, having loved the game on NES for so long.  So I start playing and I can't do anything but shoot and pass.  I can't figure out how to move or anything.  I couldn't pass the ball inbounds.  What am I missing here?  Just curious if its me, my arcade, or the game.  Thanks!

I don't know what's up. Whenever I've played it I haven't had any issues. Even if you can't play it, you can still listen to that crazy awesome digitized version of The Star-Spangled Banner.

Check the user interface from the Tab menu for that particular game - maybe something got messed up somehow...

I played this not to long ago.  It seems, and I don't remember how many buttons there were, but it is called Double Dribble for a reason.  It seems one of the buttons you use is a button to dribble the ball.  So find the button that dribbles the ball and keep pressing it.  If you stop pressing it, you will pick the ball up, and if you press the dribble again they wil call you for double dribbling.

^ haha, that's so classic man.

I checked the input settings when I first played it and saw there were 3 buttons, and tried messing around with them.  One of them did keep dribbling, but I couldn't move when I was dribbling.  No big deal, I'll figure it out.

I've been playing maximum Hangtime lately.  That game is really freaking fun.

Check to see if Trackball/mouse is set for movement.
