Trackball version of 2600 Centipede!

Postby SpiceWare » September 9th, 2015, 4:56 pm

2600 programming guru Thomas Jentzsch hacked Centipede to use a trackball (or Amiga mouse) instead of joystick. You'll find the ROMs in reply #150.

Two new 2600 games hacked for the trackball:

Millipede (CX-22 trackball only)

Reactor (versions for CX-22 & CX-80 trackballs and the Amiga mouse)

Thanks for the heads up spiceware. Doubt I'm going to try the 2600 version of reactor. Because I fear even with a trackball it'll lack the smoothness of the classic arcade game. But I'll try centipede.
