Downvote to remove | v0.2Ībout a year ago our office rediscovered Space Cadet Pinball on an old machine. The control pad had a total of ten digital fire buttons: six buttons controlled with the right thumb (named ABC XYZ), two shoulder buttons (one left, one right), and two buttons controlled with the left thumb, one named start, the other marked with a shift key symbol (as the SideWinder software allowed to use this button to shift controls for the ABC XYZ buttons - on the driver side, it was just an action button like the others). The left side of the controller features an eight-direction d-pad which function varies depending on which mode the controller is on. Games such as Motocross Madness (which was bundled with and designed for the controller) profited from this physical interaction. This reaction on movement is quite similar to some of the features of the Sony PlayStation 3 SIXAXIS. The Freestyle Pro, released in 1998, was a unique gamepad, as the up-down-left-right directions in analogue mode were controlled by the physical movement of the controller, more precisely by the absolute pitch and roll position of the pad. I know the cd was mostly white, it advertised "100+ games" and it even had a few pics of games and a Mortal Kombat logo even though it didn't have it. The stranger one was a cd-rom with hundreds of games belonging to so many consoles, I can remember a few of them like weird Atari games, a demo with the first stage of Megaman X, and some games that would seem to be some pc games but those I cannot remember well but there they side scrollers mostly. It covered the story from Raditz to Frieza's return to Earth. It had an odd selection of music like the Sonic the Hedgehog theme song and Eiffel 65's Blue. It used artwork made in Paint but the sprites came from Super Mario World, Dragon Ball Z : Hyper Dimension, & Dragon Ball Z : Legend of the Super Saiyan. We found a floppy disc that had a really weird Dragon Ball Z game. I had a run in with a couple of strange things like that. It was 2 cds that had these, a casino game where you could pawn off your belongings for more money, Mahjongg with different kinds of tiles like countries that spoke different languages, and Earthworm Jim. I got the 3 tables from the "Games for Windows 98" disc set. Got a suggestion for a new flair? Send us a modmail!
