Decided to submit a score since it's been a while since the previous one. Because I don't have any better controllers, I had to use Xbox 360 controller for this but it turned out to be pretty horrible experience. There were some parts in the run (2-1 and 2-4 for example) where I wanted to crouch but the controller registered left button as well for some reason.

Man, I really need a new controller for retro stuff. Well, at least I beat my own score.

Yeah, those modern controllers are bad for many retro games. Arcade sticks are good but I had found this one inexpensive joypad that works great with old games

The D-pad is 4 individual buttons so theres no incidental squating down, works great with pac mans also, which is damn near impossible with X-box controller :)

How much is that? A new retro controller doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. yes

I got it for 12$ off the shelf at frys electronics in Austin Texas. I don't emulate that often except for mame (I use an xarcade for that) so I can't really say how long it will hold up, but it does work well so far

@derek Looking good, I'll consider buying it. Never bought stuff from Amazon so I have no idea if shipping is super expensive to Finland.

@ichigokurosaki1991 Yeah, I wanted to play some video games. yes

Nice score! One life runs are always a high tension thing, but they're fun :)
