[QUOTE="MENTALDOMINANCE, post: 7560115, member: 160800"] Well until they wise up and put actual REAL analog controls on it, all the paddle games are pointless. REAL analog control = Potentiometer type rotating circular controller, like the original PADDELS & DRIVING controllers. Using a lame analog joystick to play paddle games does NOT count! You know what would be cool? If they made the joystick's stick rotate, like Ikari Warriors arcade, but was analog instead of just a few digital clicks. Include that and have real paddle control, then it would be kinda cool. I really do [I]not[/I] understand the popularity of these lame, inferior "mini retro" consoles that have become all the rage lately. "Oh hey look! We stuck another ancient emulator that's probably existed for decades on some crap hardware with crap controls, stuck it in a pretty case and yet.... People [I]still[/I] flock to it!" I don't understand how any of the "Classic collection" game collection packs sell either. I mean, who in this day and age is [I]not[/I] aware that you can download hundreds of emulators for free and grab the [I]entire[/I] library of whatever system you're interested in? Plus multiple emulators exist for every popular system so you have tons of choices that no commercial collection or retro mini consoles have. There's just zero reason to pay for this crap, yet every year they do it and every year it's profitable. Subtle Demise: Yeah, the 7800's audio sucks. Initially, Atari wanted devs to include POKEY chips in their carts, like how PITFALL II did on the 2600, for enhanced audio. But no one did of course. Man they made some dumb moves! They ruled the video game world but then, just like Commodore, dwindled it away by making stupid decision after stupid decision. [/QUOTE]

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
