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..

71.1My resultsFINALY::COLEPCThe SUNBELT Kid..Mon Mar 07 1988 15:356
    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.

71.2Advantage *IS* the bestFINALY::HAYNESREMany such journeys are possible..Mon Mar 07 1988 22:406
    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.

    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.
