Dual 8 way joysticks games??

Pages: << < (2/2)

botez:

Try doing a google search of www.klov.com.  For instance, I did a search on games that have 2 players playing simultaneously with 4-way joysticks.  The search was:

"Number of Simultaneous Players: 2" "Joystick: 4-way" site:klov.com

You can do this with any of the fields on the klov website.  They used to have a search function that did this, but for some reason it went away when they redid their website.

Here's a list of Dual 8way games:

How many of  these are Simultaneous 2-Player games?
I'm planning a 4 player panel and was trying to decide if I should curve it like the slikstik quad
or put them all straight across so that i could do simultaneous two player dual-stick games
but right now I'm still wondering how many simultaneous two player dual-stick games exist

The only one I recognize is SmashTV.  What you could do is use a frontend that supports the nplayers.ini file (www.mameworld.net/emuloader) and sort the list by number of players and bounce it against the list above.

Okay, I just tried this (but with MAME 0.87) and came up with the following:
Driblino (preliminary)
Dribbling (preliminary)
Indoor Soccer (idsoccer)
Smash TV (rev. 6.0) (and clones)
Inferno
The Return on Ishtar
Star Guards (3 P Simultaneous)
Ultra Tank
Total Carnage
Splat

FWIW

TOK:

I'd add Karate Champ to the list of simultaneous dual stick games, but it uses 4 ways. It's a great game that filter missed due to the bit about 8 ways.


IntruderAlert:

I know Karate Champ and Smash T.V.
Are any of those other games any good?
I'm trying to decide if it's worth altering the appearance of my CP
It's already going to be huge with the rounded front like SlikStik Quad
If I make it all straight across it might be a little ugly
