You're not crazy, Randy. ;D
Electrically, a positional gun = an analog joystick = a SW yoke.
- They all use X- and Y-axis potentiometers.
The wiki has a list of analog joystick/positional gun/yoke games at http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/Joysticks#Analog_Joysticks.
MAME can also use an analog joystick/positional gun/yoke for light gun games like Operation Wolf and Crossbow.
One potential down-side on these positional gun/lightgun games is that you'll need to aim using the crosshairs in MAME instead of the sights on the gun/crossbow.
- For some peoople, that's a deal-breaker. YMMV. :dunno

Ironically -
I have just Star Wars, Paperboy and Return of the Jedi on mine. All other games just cluttered up the list for us.

Yeah. You'll find that games you can play with a yoke and ones you should play with a yoke aren't always mutually exclusive. What you've got there and maybe roadblasters and a few games that used a yoke-like controller are it for me. Maybe 8 or 9.

Revist time!
I just added a few games to the list as acceptable to play:
Outrun
Outrun Turbo
Outrunners
Rad Rally
They are all driving games, but using the handles to provide gas and the triggers to shift (for those games that require shifting) feel real natural. I suppose adding a pedal to the cabinet would be easy to do, but playing Outrun has been no problem.
I'll check out Operation Wolf too.

Operation Wolf and Terminator 2 are both great additions!
Looking for what else I can add that plays good.
