- PL> I am not aware of any games that used the paddle;
-
- My friend have a pair of those paddles, and the only game that we have ever
- found that can run with them is Arkanoid from Imagine-Play the game.
- Arkanoid supports keyboard, joystick, paddles and mouse (not C-1351 I
- believe, have to check now, I only recently bought a C-1351).
-
- Arkanoid is *a* *lot* easier when played with a paddle rather then a
- joystick -- when you get the hold of it, that is. Before you find out how
- it is done, it is of course hard. It is better because you have more
- accureate motion, and that you can take the bat from one side to the other
- much faster than with a joystick. Very useful from time to time...
-
- BTW, is Arkanoid II available for the C64?
