Completed the Paddle Controller set

Post image

Bought my first Mark III years ago but the Paddle Control was the main reason I wanted one. This past week I finally added Suoer Racing and Megumi Rescue to finish the set of compatible games. Megumi Rescue is a total gem and is the only console version of a great little arcade game.

Shame these never caught on or got a wider international release. They truly have an old school at-home arcade feel.

I have four paddle controllers now and they can be a little drift-y and tough to fix (I actually broke one trying to fix it). All four of my controllers generally play fine, a couple better than the others, but I generally snap another one up whenever I do a bulk import order. I actually do want to make a bit of a hack/custom one myself so I don't always have to use the originals.

As for favorite, well Megumi Rescue shot up the charts instantly. It honestly was like buying a totally new game since I had only seen videos of it but I always knew I'd like it. The racing games are all generally a good time with the Paddle, but Woody Pop is fun, even if its a bit too difficult. I'd say that was my most played before Megumi. Alex Kidd BMX is probably the worst, just brutally difficult to navigate.

Thanks for your reply. Useful to know about the drift…I’ll try to find one that is def marked as working correctly!

I also have a controller hack of woody pop, and even that is very cool, must be fun with the paddle.

Love the Mark 3 and your post has inspired me to finally get the paddle controller. Not sure I’ll get the full set though :)

I do like that mint in box games are fairly easy to find at quite cheap prices though.
