Any games that run better without original controls?
marioxb:
For games with left/ right buttons, I am going to have the option to use a joystick OR the buttons. I think the reunion version of Space Invaders (with Qix) has this option.
Probably Super Punch-Out and Arm Wrestling would be better with a button for the "pull up joystick" thing. Also, maybe buttons instead of joystick for Arm Wrestling.
I guess with emulators you can use a spinner instead of mouse (they only made a mouse for SNES) on Arkanoid: Doh it Again!. Speaking of this, any way to play the Xbox 360, Wii and DS versions of Arkanoid with a spinner (on a TV, I know they make a spinner for the GBA slot of DS)?

Someone call me?!
I built a spinner arcade cabinet a few years back. This one to be precise:
Anyhow, I think Gyruss and Time Pilot are way better with a spinner. I don't have Star Castle setup to play on a spinner, but that's another game that I think would work better with a spinner. Some games give you a choice in their setup screens, like Puzzloop, between a spinner and a joystick. I'm guessing we can all agree that Puzzloop is way better with a spinner than a joystick. Here is a video of the spinner in action:

You stay away from my Time Pilot with your spinner-mah-whatsitz.

Don't be afraid of progress.
Unless we are talking about 30+ year old games, then be afraid. Very afraid.

Wow, I had no idea you could use a spinner with Puzz-Loop. That's awesome.
