| What are the good games that use 2 8-way sticks? |

Talking about two joystick games demands one on the greatest to be on the list - Karate Champ!! Note: Maybe I was to fast.... didn't read the "8-way" part of the first post. Sorry. |

Rescue uses two joysticks but it also has one button for bombs |

I guess you can also use two 8 ways to play some other games. like for instance a game like 1942, you can make the left joystick be your regular control stick while using the right joystick for shoot and loop, like maybe up for shoot and down for loop. It could make gameplay a little confusing but it would add some games to your list. Just out of curiousity, why no buttons? |

I'm going to have many panels, my goal is to have no redundant buttons on any single panel. I guess it's a bit of an opposite extreme from my 40" wide 4-player/trackball/4-way/8-way firetop/spinner panel I just retired. I find, since I've started collecting dedicated games recently, that less can be more. When I have people over, I want to just set my MAME up on 1 game for the whole night, which means less time messing around with changing games, telling people what button does what, etc. It was an eye-opener when people tended to play my Turbo game more than my MAME, mostly because for anyone who's not into it, a frankenMAME is very intimidating to walk up to and try to use. Having only the relevant controls available on any given game will make it much more approachable I think. Right now I have 2 panels built, a Tron panel (with an original stick... Nice!) and a 4-way 2-button panel (using the GGG leaf buttons, man those things are awesome). So far the only game I've played that actually uses both buttons is Qix, but on the single-button games like DK, etc, I just programmed both buttons to jump. I think I'll go forward and commit my 2 Wico leaf sticks to this panel. Even if it's only used for Robotron, I guess I love that game enough to make it worth such nice controls. Some of the other games mentioned look pretty good too. Also, I think Tapper will be playable with this setup as well. Thanks for the suggestions! Ryan |
