The Pelican
Tilt Pak acts quite well as a
Rumble Pak, providing force feedback as good or better than others I?ve tested. However, the Rumble feature isn?t the main attraction here. The tilt feature is very nicely handled in this N64 controller. The Pelican
Tilt Pak offers the ability to set the sensitivity levels, the ?dead zone,? the center position, up/down reversal, and many other settings that allow you to customize the tilt action to fit both your personal preferences, and the game?s demands. Some games require tighter handling than others, and with this controller, you can tweak the settings till it works just right. This is handled nicely in and of itself. You change these settings by hitting the ?Set? button, and then hitting certain key combinations to increase or decrease these settings. This works very well. The only complaint is that you can?t SEE what the levels are, so you have to judge strictly by feel and response.
The Pak itself fits into the N64 in the old familiar way. The ?dongle,? however, is a new spin on things, although its also a breeze to install. Simply plug the dongle into the controller port you wish to use, and then plug the controller into the dongle. Now turn on your
N64. That?s it. (PLEASE NOTE: You should never plug anything into or remove anything from your N64 while it is on.)
