And thusly were the wise words spake by Zane H. Healy
Quite useful when you are trying to get under the Marshmallow man at
the end of Ghostbusters! ;)
I have an Atari 5200, but I don't think I have any controllers *or*
power supply. :( And from what I have read, the power supply for it
is special and does double duty. But I believe there are plans
on the internet that show you how to make your own supply for it.

Hate it. Hate the way it fits my hand. I still haven't found my good Wico
ones (the ones with the long red stick). I might just see about heading up
to storage, yet again, this weekend to look. At least it shoudl be a lot
cooler up there as the weather has improved.
That is the reason I like the 500XJ soo much - cause it fits my hand
so perfectly! But the Wico bat is nice too - just not sure which
button is the best to use, the one on the base or the end of the bat?
And speaking of storage, I just moved into a much bigger place then I
was before so no I am moving all of my stuff that is in storage to my
new place... But I am finding I have more stuff then I though I did! :(
After playing Overloard/Supremacy on the C64, I really
want to get my A500
back out :^) The interesting thing is, that game felt faster on my C64 than
the PC version ever did on my 386sx/16 and 486dx/33!
I have only played Supremacy on the Amiga... It was soo fun to pump
up your men before attacking the planet, then lessening their
aggression level as the battle wore on.
I think there
was a motion controlled stick available at the
time but I am not sure how well it worked... Plus I think you would
lose the feed back you get from a normal joysick.
You loose the feedback and just think about your hand getting bumped by
someone (or even sneezing).
Wouldn't
an interface for the spinner to a C64 be simpler
then a MAME inteface (USB?) since for the C64 you would just be
hooking up the POT X/Y?
No idea, haven't looked into either. I do rather like the one I have for
the Atari 5200 :^)
