Assault -- Anyone try to build one of these yet??

The layout is pretty simple with a modular panel.  Pop two top fire sticks in and you are up and running.

More challenging is Vindicators - which requires rotate buttons on each stick plus 1-2 fire buttons.  On the modular panel you can do it with a top fire on the left and converted PC "tron" style (8 way, 3 button) stick on the right.  Takes a little practice to rotate the turret and tank at the same time, but great fun.

I LOVED Assault.  My Dad's office was near a convienience store on the Oregon State University campus that had one.  I would have my mom drop me off at the comic book store, and after I was done there, I would walk up to catch a ride home with my dad and if I had time I was in that store playing Assault and munching on Mexi Fries from the Taco Time next door.

Ahhhh.... memories. :)

They have the sticks at Happ Controls.  I'd love to buy a real machine someday though...:)

Easier solution for Vindicators/Assault - Use one of the many Raider Pro (Thumb and Trigger) PC stick to Arcade base conversions for both right and left sticks.

I have 2 pair of theese sticks...one blue pair and one black pair. Theese work great for vindicators also  ;D A modular panel does make it easier though...I tried different ways to have just a swappable stick, but that really doesn't work too well.

Same general concept - my "tron" style stick is actually an old converted Logitech Wingman handle on a Happs competition base.  I have 3 buttons wired up.  (I'll post some picts this weekend) A Raider Pro would work just as well, but I happened to have an old Wingman laying around that I did not need anymore.
