Mame Offender Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 71,930Man, I wish I could use the spinner on Buzzin69's old cabinet!!If I build a cab, it will have a spinner. It would be good for a small handful of games at best, but it would allow me to get a somewhat decent score on any Arkanoid game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Agreed. I built a control panel and made my own spinner before the fire. It worked ok, but sucked. It's lost now. I don't think I'll be venturing into the hands-on building again for awhile. But a spinner is definitely something to have.Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mame Offender Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 111,720 Now there is no way I could accomplish such a score as this with a mouse or trackball. I am proud to say I received a custom kick-ass game controller from my brother this year at Christmas time. It is equipped with an 8 way, a PacMan style 4 way, a handful of buttons AND a spinner!!!! Playing Arkanoid with a spinner is essential if you want to get anywhere. Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to hit 100k and land myself in second. Fun, fun ,fun!!! Have a look at the second photo to see my new kick-ass game controller!! MO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mame Offender Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The 11th gives you a chance to score big on the Grey Blocks. The Greys start at 50 points on Round 1 and increase by 50 points every board thereafter. Therefore, on Round 11, they are worth 550 points a piece!

hansolo77 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I really wish I had a spinner or at least a good calibrated mouse. I love this game and it's genre, but it's unplayable for me. I tried playing the various ports on other systems. How in the heck are you supposed to react quickly using the dpad on the NES, where the "paddle" goes the same speed in either direction? There was a really good "made for PC" game that I'd love to play again but can't remember the name of it. It had lots of different ball types, like acid ball and things like dynamite/detonators. It let you save your progress every 10 levels or so, so you can keep coming back and continue to progress through the hundreds of stages. I never did finish it, but I was up to around 700 stages. Anybody remember what that was called?

Luigimaker Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Couldn't get mouse working but I switched to the one I used to use and its a whole different game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 A mouse is the only I can play this game. I would love to play with a spinner, but that's a special controller that I just don't have at my disposal. What's really hard is playing with a gamepad. There's just no way to be able to move your paddle faster to save the ball when you need it. Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
