Post by: Izret101 on September 26, 2004, 08:05:07 AM It sounds like something he made. Brass accent screws? seriously what prototype controller has screws sticking out of the front of it. Even if your just testing it it still has to be somewhat comfotable.
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on September 26, 2004, 08:55:55 AM I don't know about you guys, but I'm already selling coke so I can buy this thing.
NOT! It is kinda cool, but that price is ridiculous. I don't know a darn thing about it, though. Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Arrrhalomynn on September 26, 2004, 09:22:36 AM Well, the picture IS quite convincing.
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: den68 on September 26, 2004, 07:22:32 PM meh. looks like a homemade controller to me. the Sega Genesis or Master System controllers both work on the 2600. how hard would it be to gut one, leave out the buttons that don't do anything on the 2600 and hand craft a custom casing? I'd like to see a cleaner photo of that thing to see how the Atari logo is applied.
actual prototype? I doubt it. Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Izret101 on September 26, 2004, 07:33:59 PM Again if you look the screws on it are even raised they arnt even set into the controller itself. How could you use it without getting serious annoyance atleast?
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Sauza12 on September 27, 2004, 08:33:37 AM This is no prototype. This guy just made the controller himself as Den suggested. He had this up before with a starting price of 9.99.
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Izret101 on September 27, 2004, 12:05:02 PM OK i could be confused but i thought i said that then also said it again after Den....
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Sauza12 on September 27, 2004, 12:27:32 PM Alright, I'll give credit where credit is due 8). I just referenced Den because he went into more detail so it stuck out more in my mind.
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Izret101 on September 27, 2004, 12:36:36 PM About what Den said it has a similair and less curvy desiegn than the 6button genesis controllers.
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: shadytool on September 30, 2004, 04:29:49 PM ok, now there is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8135613642&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW i dont know if those screen are from the rom or not but i dont think i would chance it for $200 without looking into it more. Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Izret101 on September 30, 2004, 04:39:52 PM Someone put a bid in on it. And he has screens that arn't in the net version (Im going buy what i saw). I have never played the ROM. I would definately watch this item.
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Sauza12 on October 04, 2004, 11:53:18 AM If I had the money to blow, I would definatly buy this. NES protos don't come up to often.
Title: Re: atari joypad? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on October 04, 2004, 02:58:35 PM The early version he mentioned is indeed very buggy, to the point that it's unplayable.  I just gave it a whirl, and it looked like it could've been a pretty cool game had it ever come out. Hopefully whoever buys this dumps it so other gamers can get a chance to play an unreleased game.
