I went to your website and could only find the SUPER 4-way™ Precision True Restrictor. |

I have some on the shelf and they are the same price as the 4-way restrictor. RandyT |

I'm using octagon restrictors. I'm actually finding them good for 4 way games. Push the joystick in the general direction and the wedge guides it to the center of that direction. I didn't know how much I liked them until I went back to the regular 8-way restrictors. --- End quote --- What is your impression from playing 8 way games? q-bert? |

First off, the action on the Sanwa JLF's is so light, that it doesn't feel like an arcade stick to me anyway (at least not from my day). The 8-way gate makes it feel even less like an arcade stick, but it does make you extremely conscious of exactly where the stick is. When I do a quarter roll in a fighting game, I know that I'm doing it properly because I can feel it it go into the right notch, slide easy to the diagonal, then I can feel resistance when it hits the diagonal point and changed direction. It feels like training wheels...but I need me some training wheels. :P Some day I'd like to have enough control where I can move the joystick just far enough to do the moves without having it pushed up against it's limits. Then I could take the training wheels off. Not sure I'll ever get there. I hadn't played Qbert with it until this evening. I did a LOT better than usual. I did move the joystick up and down instead of on the diagonals a few times, but for the times I was in the right general direction, the gate guided me in. On a side note, a while back I hooked up a Sanwa JLW with the restrictor set to 4-way. I wanted to see if it was worthwhile to add a separate 4-way to my control panel. It really didn't do anything for me. I didn't do any better at the games and it didn't feel any more authentic to me. I think I'd need an old Wico for it to feel authentic to me. Everyone has their own tastes though. Your results may vary. |
