4way Vs. 8way on a 4 player CP
« on: January 12, 2017, 03:01:53 pm »
Hi everyone,

Quick question I'm 95% certain on the answer to but couldn't find a forum that seemed to give a dedicated answer.

If building a 4 player cab should the players 3 and 4 have anything other than an 8way stick?
I can't think of any game that has 4 player with 4way sticks.
My thinking was to use Ultimarc's servo sticks for players 1 and 2 so I can switch between 4way and 8way, and then use rotary 8ways on players 3 and 4.
Then I could play Ikari Warriors and others using the players 3 and 4 positions.
I just want to make sure I'm not missing out on an awesome 4 player 4way stick game and I wanted to make sure I didn't waste time and money putting in 4 servo sticks.

Thanks for any help and feedback.

Vs karate champ is the only thing that comes to mind. It's not 4 players but it needs dual 4 ways per player.

Nope, can't say I've seen those before. Looks pretty cool, but I think I'm going to stick to the Ultimarc ones.
