Best Trackball and Spinner games?
DaveMMR:
CABAL was a game I always found amusing. And that's another game that used 2 trackballs (well if you want two players simultaneous anyhow). Also the Atari Classics (I don't know if I have the name right - it was unreleased and has an update to Centipede and Missle Command) allows two players at the same time.

I like the the new game ARGUS, where you're a trackball controlled superhero.
another good trackball game is QUANTUM.

Gotta give another vote for Cameltry, which I never even heard of before this group and building my CP. Really fun.
I tried the Irritating Maze and found it to be, well, as advertised. Interesting, but for whatever reason I'm terrible at it.
Tempest is the #1 spinner game of all time, imho. And actually I'm finding that many shooters work pretty well with a trackball--certainly not to the level of guns, but I finished Area51 with a trackball and did moderately well.

Shuffleshot. I also use my trackball to play Star Wars and Tail Gunner since I don't have a yoke.
Any 360 degree driving game is a candidate for the spinner.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Keep them coming!
So far I've only really played Missile Command, Golden Tee Golf II, and Centipede. They all work great with MAME32 and my Golden Tee trackball (Happs 3") and my Opti-PAC.
However Marble Madness does not respond well *at all* to the trackball. I have to swing the trackball a TON and the marble barely even moves. I've tried tweaking my settings from instead the game (Analog Controls menu) but it doesn't seem to help very much.
Anybody have any suggestions?
