@pbloo574 Whoops read your question wrong. No I don't believe the driving controller is compatible with paddle games. So far as I know the only game that uses the driving controller(s) is Indy 500

[RattyRandnums]

@pbloo574 Well, Kaboom! says to use the paddle controllers on the front of the cartridge so yeah. Check out atariguide(.)com to see scans of carts and manuals if you want. Or atariage(.)com for transcriptions of manuals and scans of Atari magazines.

@wildsmiley This one, I believe, was excesively so.

[wildsmiley]

Of course, it should be noted that only 2600 games made by Atari themselves, as seen in this video, consistently tell you what controllers to use right on the cartridge. Not all Atari 2600 games tell you that. Activision games do, I think. Imagic games do not.

@Leishmaniasisably Paddles are supposed to be pretty responsive, to your ever twitch just about.

[kremer87]

ok that answered the problem i had. i bought a controller that had an indy car on it thinking it was a paddle controller. lol it was only $2 so now i know y it didnt play breakout.

@InecomCompany You would NOT be screwed, Actually, When using a Sega Genesis controller with my Atari i popped in Warlords, just to see if it would work ( i was bored, okay?) And the C button on the controller actually worked as a paddle, but of course, you wouldn't be able to play it that well.

[Leishmaniasisably]

I think one of mine was broken because it was WAY to sensitive and overresponsive.
