    Default Has anyone tried the Jaguar rotary controller with Power Drive Rally (or other games?

    Does this pretty much only work with Tempest 2000?

    Minter put rotary support in Tempest 2K as sort of a hidden feature (even though no such controller existed at the time). I'd be pretty surprised if it worked in another game.

    Hopefully someone reading this who has one will give it a go.

    I am not much of a Tempest 2000 fan; good game, great music, just not enough variety in music. Really a pity Atari didn't stick around long enough for him to do version for the CD drive.

    I should email the guys who make these. Power Drive Rally is one of the few games that I still keep a Jag around for.

    Ok,

    Got a reply back from the guy who builds them.

    He says that it doesn't work on other games. He has received a lot of requests for a 'universal' one that will work with Power Drive Rally and Breakout 2000.

    Maybe if there is enough demand he will think about it?

    Err...it won't matter. The device isn't supported in the software. Someone would have to hack the game itself.
