Really like the game but hate the controls. I bought some Joysticks and buttons a while back so I made a custom controller. The Joystick moves right and left on the controller, the other 2 do shield and fire. There's a Female Sub D that you can plug another controller into to do the regular Left/Right/Up/Down. Makes the game much more enjoyable. Happy but I think a Top Fire Joystick would be cool too. Anybody know of any other games that this would suit? s76.photobucket.com/user/50TBRD/media/vec024.mp4.html

Very nice and it looks like there are a few games that work with it. Cool.

I was pleased to see that I was able to use my custom controller for Nagoya Attack. It's really a great way to play.

your controller would work with most LRTF games .. Left Right Thrust Fire.

It's not Left and Right though, it's 1 and 2 hooked up to the joystick.

That's so cool... I hope I can do something like that as well in the future. Maybe after the next Issue of Vectorbolt ^^

Finally was able to make a logo that I liked for Birds of Prey and came up with a name for the controller. So I made a sticker for my controller. This "temporary" until I make a design for the entire top facia. Attachments:

I'd like to see the opposite done for War of the Worlds - replace joystick controls with buttons, which i think is how the arcade version was and would enable better control on Vectrex.
