I really want to pick up a 3 button controller.

I'm kinda disappointed in you Esteban

Battle Royale

"There is more than one way to access a menu" --colloquial saying

Thank you .

My goal is to create "3-button controller LUST" amongst all the members of the forum. I don't care if you have a standard controller or one of those crazy 6-button controllers...

LUST FOR 3-buttons

...and my work is complete.

(1) GAME TITLE: Gradius
(2) MAP BUTTON III TO: (RUN)
(3) Function of (Select): pause
(4) Optional, but greatly appreciated... COMMENTS/ADVICE! If your 3 button pad has hold feature, use it for slo motion!  Rapid fire on button II works fine as well during slow mo but you may need to hold button I for a second to buy power up.

(1) GAME TITLE: Salamander
(2) MAP BUTTON III TO: (RUN)

Esteban, I am amazed at your ability to put these lists together so quickly.  Not only informative but, you've got me interested in release dates, the 3 button controller, as well as the sounds of the TG16.

Keep up the great work.

Now off to see if I can find a damn 3 button controller.... Lust has arrived.

Instead of listing the "Poor Man's Slow Motion" for each game, I'll make a general notice about it in the beginning of the FAQ.

BUT DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM FINDING MORE GAMES FOR the humble TBFG FAQ .

I want to add, for valis III run and down is used to slide which is totally ridiculous with a standard pad but with a ave iii it works like a charm

Air Zonk

MAP BUTTON III TO: SELECT
Function of (Select): Fires rear thrusters to damage enemmies behind you.
COMMENTS/ADVICE:
SCREENSHOTS:

I gotta try this when I get my Avenue Pad 3

Street Fighter II'

MAP BUTTON III TO: RUN
Function of (Run): 3rd kick or punch attack.
COMMENTS/ADVICE: (+) Better than using just the RUN button. (-) Still much worse than using a real 6-Button pad.
SCREENSHOTS:

Like playing on a 3 Button Genesis Controller switching with the Start Button

Would like to revive this thread as there has to be more 3 button friendly games

Ha!

I bet more undocumented (in this thread) games could be found if folks investigated all the RPG/ARPG that might do something useful with RUN/SELECT. 

[Punch]

(1) GAME TITLE: Silent Debuggers
(2) MAP BUTTON III TO: Run
(3) Function of (Select): Fire secondary weapon (Grenade/Sonic/Sleep Launcher)
(4) COMMENTS/ADVICE: Play the game on an Avenue Pad 3 or under/overuse all secondary weapons. It's hard to fire properly and accurately when you have to press RUN to do so.

[Duo_R]

(1)  Antlantean / Santalantean
(2) MAP BUTTON III TO: RUN
(3) Function of RUN: Emergency Warp (because you almost doomed Atlantis!!!)
(4) COMMENTS/ADVICE! Just discovered this functionality and it works great. This is a great 3 button game. No surprise 3 button pad was supported.

I LOVE THE AVE. 3 PAD.

yeah!
