Ms. Pac-man Plug N Play Problem

Is anyone having trouble with steering in Pole Position with the new Ms. Pac-man plug n play 5 in 1 game? I got mine today and can't control the car in Pole Position.

I was just reading a review of this... the reviewer said he had the same problem, until he figured out you have to actually twist the controller to turn in pole position.

Hope that helps...

Same here. I actually looked at the instruction manual to figure that out. But the twisty controls are spot on, much better than moving the stick.

Do any of these controller game things save high scores?

No.. they'd be worth owning if they did.

Perhaps the poster should pivot the joystick to produce a perfect point payoff for Pole Position, provided the player has prolonged persistence.

how come 98% of the versions never have a score saving feature? How hard is it to put in a game?

I was planning on picking the Ms Pac Man one up if it saved high scored. I'll pass on this like I pass on every classic compilation. No save no sale

Putting in memory=added cost I guess. Still, you'd think it would be miniscule to just save scores.
