Can you use your driving controller or paddle to play his Tempest
clone? If so, does the controller used need to be modded?

I believe it's the games on the cart of conversions plus Tsunami (the
Tempest clone) that support the driving controller... I have both plus the
controller so can check.

The controller needs no modding although it has to be the Driving controller
not a regular paddle controller.

The driving controller is essentially a paddle that turns forever (rather
than to a finite point each direction) and has a small picture of a car on
it rather than 2 bats/raquets.

Do note that the Vectrex does not recognize the red button on the
driving controller.

It is not a paddle controller in the analog pot sense. It is actually
a binary grey code controller. Something more in kin to your mouse or
trackball than a Atari paddle (analog) controller.

Aye, but to the person just on the look out for one it does look essentially
like a paddle, albeit with different workings.
