71.0. "NES MAX" by FINALY::COLEPC (The SUNBELT Kid..) Wed Mar 02 1988 13:59

    I just bought the new NES MAX controller at lunch today.  The 360
    degree button is a nice touch, but I don't know how well it will
    work.  The controller fits easily in your hands.  I picked it up
    at Toys 'R Us here in Charlotte, N.C..

	After playing Contra, Punch Out, and Metroid, I found that the NES Advantage is a better joystick to play these games. The button doesn't let you move as fast as a joystick would let you. In my opinion, the NES MAX is not as good a joystick as the Advantage. Pat Cole
71.2	Advantage IS the best	FINALY::HAYNESRE	Many such journeys are possible..	`Mon Mar 07 1988 22:40`	6
	I also bought the NES MAX and let me say, don't waste your money. My favorite game is Zelda and you can't play it with the MAX. Sometimes you tell it to move and it doesn't, or doesn't fast enough. All in all, I'll stick with my Advantage. Ron

	re .3 Below the normal buttons for firing, there are two buttons that are lined up with the A and B buttons. When you push these buttons instead of the normal ones, you have rapid fire. You can not control the level of rapid fire as you can with the Advantage. I have just bought Ice Hockey and PRO-AM racer here in Charlotte and it is difficult to use the MAX playing these games. But I am used to playing with the Advantage, so I might be biased to that controller. Experiment and have fun. Pat Cole UNCC Sunbelt Champs....
