Two trackballs on a CP?

[steve42]

Apologies if this has been asked before but I am getting an error when I use the search.

I am working on my CP plans and since I’m starting with a fully stocked prototype CP given to me, I am trying to decide what to keep and what to pull.

My friend used a 6-button setup for each joystick, but he also mounted two trackballs and a spinner. For the life of me, I can’t recall a two player game that used two trackballs. Am I missing something?

Marble Madness allows simultaneous two player.



There are also cocktail cabs like Centipede that used two trackballs and screen flipping for alternating between two players.

Rampart has 3 trackballs, and I believe there was a Sonic game that also had 3.

Good call.   

Sonic The Hedgehog Arcade a.k.a. "Segasonic The Hedgehog."

That's the one!  What a neat Sonic game.

Cabal
Hyper Sports or Track and Field. Maybe both?

Atari Football, Blades of Steel.  That's all I can think of at the moment.

What was the tool used to search by controls? MAWS, Romlister, or something else? It's been a few years since I've thought about it.

Answering the question a little less literally, there aren't a whole hell of a lot of games worth playing that use multiple trackballs.  I don't think cocktail games count (unless he built a cocktail of course) and imho marble madness is probably the only simultaneous two player trackball game you'd actually want to play.  I did a lot of controls.dat entries and trackball games are pretty rare as-is.... probably due to the added expense of the controls.

MAWS was the one I used but I don't think it is around anymore.  ids created a new version of it -
