Favorably comparing that ---smurfy--- dial to a Tempest spinner is laughable.

who's comparing anything, todd is comparing the old bad tempest spinner
to a newer improved part that makes it work better.
the brass fittings work much better than the nylon ones, thats the point.
even the originals never had that.
watch the actual video, and you would have seen that.

You make numerous comparisons all throughout this thread. Stop smoking crack. It is bad for your brain.
I am not going to waste my time watching your ---smurfy--- video links.

tell, me where i said the dial is acceptable as a replacement for the arcade one. oh, you can't.
i said its acceptable to play the game. period.
todds videos are probably the best arcade comparison, and repair videos out there.
he tells it like it is, bad monitors, bad parts, all in the original games.
he doesn't sugar coat it to make people think all those old games worked well,
or were designed well. they all had flaws, and newer parts are better made,
and can make them last longer, and work better than they ever did originally.

--- Quote ---The game is PERFECTLY playable as is, because in Tempest, you NEVER need to spin fast
to play. You use slow controlled movements a segment to the left or right, especially
in the upper levels with the pulsars and fuses.

You were busy bragging about your Tempest prowess at the time.

yeah, no. if you call the way you struggled playing tempest with their spinner, acceptable, well, i don't know what to say. can it be fun? sure, in a, let's see how far we can get with terrible control, type of fun.
if A1UP didn't advertise "Authentic Arcade Controls and Gameplay" or, "True Arcade Tactile Feel - Plays exactly as you remember" that would be one thing, but that's how they are marketing these cabinets. Their "spinner" is none of that, at all.
