Is this really the end (Oscar's Restrictors)

Pages: << < (3/5) > >>

Mugzilla:

Ummm, sorry to noob this up, but where would these be advantagous? (spelled wrong, I am certian...)

What games?

Nuttman:

My thought was to get the diagonal restrictor for games like Qbert and the two way restrictor for games like Defender.

2600:

Besides the two way, there was  a diagnol restrictor for qbert etc, and a 4 way restrictor.

Some use the restrictors for the dedicated feel of the restrictor (I don't believe the joysticks that switch from 4 to 8 way have this).  Some use it so that they don't need an extra joystick.  Some use the Mounting plate for modular controls.  And some use the mounting plate for metal control panels I believe.

Any other uses or things I missed?

The mounting plate all by itself is also quite handy for sloppy woodworkers like me!  (As well as making for an acceptable-looking CP if you're not using an overlay.)

OSCAR:

Thanks for all the emails!  Based on the number of emails I have received over the past several days, it appears that there is enough interest to justify another run of the restrictors and mounting plates.

As Zakk mentioned earlier in this thread, the current fabrication method of the plates takes too much of my time.  I plan to have the new run of plates fabricated by alternate methods to save me time, but they will still be compatible with all the restrictor plates.  I am not planning to change the plates physically, just how they are made.

At this time I do not have a date on when the restrictors and plates will be available again.  I will be investigating different fabricators to ensure they are as affordable as possible.

I appreciate the emails and support.  Thank you!
