I just hope the emulation is "jitter-free"! :)
But... no 4-player version? Warlords just isn't Warlords without four players.
Still, Super Breakout!

I got a buddy of mine the joystick one for his birthday last year, and he really liked it. I think I need to get him the 2-player paddle set this year :)

Kaboom is an Activision title, so you wouldn't see it on an Atari compilation. Activision just released their own all-in-one joystick, I saw it at TRU last night.
Activision could follow that up with a paddle controller setup, but did they release enough games that utilized the paddle? :hmm:

What's on the Activision all-in-one?
from memory: Pitfall, Freeway, Spider Fighter, River Raid, Atlantis, Grand Prix, Tennis, ...Stampede?...Boxing?....Ice Hockey? I think so.
The problem with the activision one is that the "button" is actually "up" on a 2nd d-pad. I don't remember exactly why they made it that way, but it's not too cool.

Uh, both the Activision unit and the Atari one are made by Jakks Pacific, yes? So in theory, they MIGHT have been able to put Kaboom on the paddle unit...
BTW, Stamped is not on it, but Crackpots is. Otherwise, Kid Ice's list is correct.

Since I just purchased the unit (one player version was all that was available) at a local Gamestop. It is completely jitter free and works like a charm! Arcade Warlords is a great thing, although one player kind of blows. Either way, best $20 I have spent in a long time!

Under $20 at my GameStop.

I was up at EB Games today and saw both the paddle one as well as the Ms. Pac-Man one...didn't note the prices, though. I should've bought the Ms Pac-Man joystick...it includes Mappy!
