i have this game for mame but cant figure out a satisfactory way to recreate the feel of the original controls. all i have is a ps2 controller, what do you suggest?

[BiffsGamingVideos]

@mst3kpimp build your own controller

[BiffsGamingVideos]

Which movie did you like better: Tron or Tron Legacy????? 

[mst3kpimp]

ya I actually made my own controller by putting the guts of a ps2 mouse into one of those 5 in one atari retro paddles. do a google search for "mst3kpimp atari paddle tron" to see how I did it.

@theelusiveone which question? o.o

[theelusiveone]

@lolag3r3r Ahhh just noticed you answered the question over here.

[theelusiveone]

@BiffsGamingVideos I liked both of them but if I had to choose 1 I would go with the original. How about you? BTW excellent videos.

[theelusiveone]

@mst3kpimp Thats because the arcade game used a "spinner" control which you really can not buy anywhere. I found the game plays well with a microsoft sidewinder precision pro. If you can't find one you can probably get something like a thrustmaster t flight x. You have many choices with those controllers of where to map the spinner. Good luck.

@BiffsGamingVideos thats exactly what I did... I cant put the url here but google "tron-sector homemade tron spinner" to check it out.

HEY! What's your score of the game? :P

I give it an A-. Fun game, never saw the standup version. It was always the environmental one!

I hadn't ever seen one with a curtain on it though. Might've just been something a local arcade owner did that you saw back in the day. Neat!
