Astroblast (Without a Paddle Mod)

Astroblast Hack for Atari: 2600

<< Go to Astroblast hacks list

The purpose of this Astroblast hack is simply to remove the ROM’s access to the paddles. Astroblast is the one game designed for the Atari 2600 that permitted both paddle and joystick play, paddle being the better bet for ease of play and higher scores… but not everyone had paddles. And… with some emulators, the default is to read as if paddles are active, making gameplay difficult on a d-pad or analog stick due to the much higher paddle input object velocity. This hack just eliminates the paddle read and forces the joystick input object velocity instead.
