<< < (4/5) > >>
PL1:
Finally got around to doing a fairly thorough review/re-organization of the gamelists on the wiki Spinners and Dials page.
(Still have a list of >140 games to sort through. :( )

LMK if there's any other games you'd like to see added or if I've mis-categorized any games.

They're on that 140+ list.

Are Free Kick and Gigas spinner or potentiometer games?


Scott
Nephasth:
They're spinner games. I've got the boards for 'em and use an Arkanoid spinner.

Thanks, Neph -- all three added.    :cheers:

Anyone have any opinions/suggestions about adding either a "270° steering wheel (potentiometer) games" or "Steering wheel (potentiometer) games" category after "Paddle (potentiometer) games"?

 -- Standard spinner games
 -- Push/pull spinner games
 -- Roller (single axis trackball) games
 -- 360° steering wheel (optical) games
