Important Tips & Suggestions for Playing Any of the Games:

vary by platform and by game with many not being the same. You will
need to load a game and then determine what buttons do what (i.e. start
the game, select # of players, shoot, jump, etc...)
2. There are many resources on the internet that can help with game
controller information such as: retropie.org.
3. There are advanced ways of custom mapping the controller buttons a
specific way the user wants. There are many resources on the Internet
to help with this.

There are a couple of additional ways to access the games. The all games
menu will show you all the games available by platform in one menu.
