Yeah, that would have been great... even though it doesn't make the game easier, Centipede (for 2600 and 7800) is more fun to play with the trackball because that's the way it's supposed to control. It really does make a difference. This is another thing, like paddle controllers, that sadly stopped existing on consoles... though at least many later systems do have a mouse, even if they don't have a trackball. That's something, at least; for paddles there's really nothing, a mouse is not quite the same.
Quote: I would love to see Fix-it Felix Jr. hit the local arcades. I'm not even kidding. Disney actually turned that into a real arcade machine and it's been spotted in a few rare locations since then. The game actually seems pretty addictive too, like some real thought was put into it.It would be interesting to play that sometime, yeah... is the arcade game a trackball game, or joystick? I wonder if the game is as good as you say.
