I have a copy of super street fighter turbo and two super advantage controllers winging their way to me right now via the great god ebay

S: RType on the Speccy was a bloody masterpiece

D: Outrun, also on the speccy. I suspect it was much like the amstrad version

S:
Bionic Commando, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Ninja Gaiden on the NES (Like I mentioned on the MAME thread, all way better than the originals)
Apple Panic on the Apple II (less sadistically hard than Space Panic)
Smash TV on the Genesis (faster than the arcade)

D:
Gyruss on the NES (bosses? WTF?)

i should say, D: Pac Man.

How Atari fucked themselves and continued on the path to the video game crash of 1983...

S: Smash TV on the Snes. I always preferred the Snes version to the megadrive as the snes controller buttons were kinda like up,down,left,right and made for an intuitive firing system. I remember the megadrive you had to press a button to rotate the direction you were firing, i didn't enjoy this very much. Nothing can compare with the double joysticks on the arcade machine tho.

Totally OTM, I was about to mention the Snes version. I wonder how it is to wire two Super Advantage controllers together so the right joystick controls A, B, X and Y and stick them in one box.

??? I always played the Genesis version single player with two joypads, so I had total control over firing direction. I don't remember it being that awkward, either. After a while I grew to prefer it to the arcade, hence the mention.

― Chris F. (servoret), Saturday, 24 September 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

It would have been awkward if y'd been using one joypad, with one button to fire and the other two to rotate yr fire clockwise or anti-clockwise. Two joypads would obviously fix that completely. I never tried it, I should have.

Oh! I didn't know you could do that! I take it back then. I've got Smash TV on the Master System, and have never played it because the pad's only got two buttons. Maybe you can use two pads on that one too. I'll give it a go later on.
