Analog controls for Arkanoid

[stephen krogman]

Believe it or not, I've been experimenting with finding the correct analog controls to play Arkanoid for a year now and it's still virtually impossible no matter what I change it to, it just doesn't respond quick enought to catch the ball when it zooms accross the screen. I mean, just look at the scores on MARP?. The only player that is doing something that no one else can figure out is German Krol. I find it hard to believe he can score 700k+ with a mouse unless the sensitivity is perfect. Hell, I even purchased a Twisty Grip spinner and couldn't get the darn thing to work either. Otherwise I would have had scores for all the Arkanoids well over 1.2M by now. I have a record of 1,466,640 in the arcade and plan on beating it this coming Twin Galaxies Masters tournament I'm attending in Weirs Beach. I will be facing my competitor who has claimed 1,582,000 he did just a few weeks ago. We'll see what happens.

I fully agree with you Steve.. I can4t even score higher than 100k in
any on the arkanoids... Or breakout games.. I have scored over 1mil
on the arcade version but hell it is inpossible to do it on mame

<p>

I have the same problems with starwars at this very moment.. I could
esily double or tripple the marp scores on starwars with a real
arcade joy but with a mouse.. hell no..

<p>

Is it not possible to buy the arcade controls of arkanoid and in some
way conect them to the PC?? If that is possible i will to that cause
I can easily get a set of controls to Arkanoid but have no idea if it
is possible to conect it to the PC..

<p>

Hey, Steve, where did you purchase a twisty spinner? i've been
looking for a good one of those (i.e. not a steering wheel kind that
doesn't keep spinning) but i haven't been able to find one. i'm
missing play tron the origonal way way!
