I've tried to play it with an atari 2600 joystick and it's next to impossible when it starts getting even slightly crowded. The game is fast and hard but the controls are designed such that you can actually get out of pretty sticky situations ( much like Defender ). A lot of the time it's moving in one direction and firing in the *opposite* direction. The 4 buttons might be better but I would tend to doubt it. On the good side with that setup you could play Vanguard. :P |

Maybe go mudular or removable ? |

dont forget Crazy Climber! another great classic game that would benefit from a double 8-way setup. both robotron and crazy climber are horizontal so maybe add an extra 8-way just to the right of your buttons on one side panel. |
