![]() My quest has come to a wonderful, satisfying end. I actually didn't do too poorly using the analog Xbox controller, but the paddle would be the way to go. The next step after that is trying to get the Mark III system itself so I can play the other Mark III paddle games, especially Megumi Rescue, which I played on my modded Xbox via the Meka emulator, and it was tons of fun. ![]() Still, I'd like to try to find one in the meantime. No dice on Ebay anyone have an extra they'd like to sell or trade? A good Japanese site that would have one for sale? I'm not too worried because when my fiancee returns from Europe (whenever that is), she can contact her network of otaku friends back home in Japan and hopefully score it for me. I'm obsessed with Woody Pop, but can't play it properly without the paddle. I even took a long shot and hooked up my 2600 paddles, but no dice (any way to mod those so they would work?). SMS, but I definitely need the paddle controller (which I hope will work as well). I just acquired Woody Pop for the SMS, which is on a M圜ard so it will work on a U.S. Now my obsession has turned to trying to get a Sega Mark III paddle: (I was selecting Cutie Q at the start menu and then immediately entered the code and it never worked.) The key is to select Cutie Q and let it go through the motions of getting it started, then at the screen where the graphics are scrambled, that's when you quickly enter the code. By the way, I had a heck of a time getting that Bomb Bee code to work, the instructions are slightly vague. And it works like a real champ for both Cutie Q and Bomb Bee from the Japanese Namco Museum Vol. It works well with Super Breakout, obviously, from Arcade's Greatest Hits: Atari Collection 1 I had to tweak the analog sensitivity in the configuation menu a bit first. I've got Arkanoid 2000, which I got as a bootleg back in Ukraine in, well, 2000, and hadn't played it at all, but suddenly I could finally play the heck out of it, tons of fun. I have four other games that work with the paddle controller as well. Puchi Carat, as far as I've played (not that much), is pretty freakin' lame, unless there's more to it and something that I've missed. Ended up getting that for around $20 off eBay, which is well worth the price for the paddle alone. the Puchi Carat Limited Edition is the way to go). Playing with a standard NES controller is possible, but the game is considerably harder because the paddle controller offers more accurate and faster movement.Quick update, I did locate one of these things a while back in fact, it was thanks to Devilman who made me realize how I had to search for it (i.e. This game was also bundled with a special paddle controller which could plug into the 2-player port. Taito innovated several new features to the Breakout theme which would later become staples of the genre including invincible gold bricks, monsters that roam around the screen, and capsules that grant power-ups like making your paddle bigger, breaking the ball into multiple balls, the ability to catch the ball, and so on. ![]() However, if you miss the ball with your paddle, you lose a life. Each hit breaks a brick, and when they're all broken, you move to the next stage. You control a paddle (a spaceship named "Vaus") at the bottom of the screen which you must use to bounce a ball toward a wall of "bricks" at the top of the screen. For other games in the series see Arkanoid.Īrkanoid is an ball-bouncing action game built on the theme originally designed by Atari's Breakout.
