Tempest Tron Blasteroids Arkanoid Omega Race Warlords Major Havok . . . (my control panel is not even finished yet and I find myself contemplating adding more controls... I think I'm hooked :) ) Trying to decide between spinner and track ball 'cause I don't have room for both. Please add to the list. Thanks.

Remember your spinner can be used for most driving games as well. Personally if it's a choice you have to make I'd go for a spinner (Tempest, Arkanoid and Pole Position ). |
| johnnysmitch:
Many/most spinner games can be played pretty well with a trackball, but no trackball games can be played with a spinner... but, having said that, I think you should try your damndest to have both (spinners have a very small footprint on a CP, and you COULD get one of the smaller trackballs...) - I'd say whichever one you decided to leave out, you'd miss terribly. |
| Dougmeister:
Ok, let's take it from a dif't perspective: What's the CHEAPEST way to add a trackball? I think TheNasty's deal is the cheapest way to get a spinner (without making one yourself). I'm thinking find a cheapo trackball for a PC on eBay, Overstock, etc. and use it. Thoughts? |
| johnnysmitch:
Personally, I've never cared for the feel of those PC trackballs (you can't send 'em flying) - Ultimarc has a great price for a 2 1/4" trackball ($28 w/o interface and mounting plate). cheers. |
