Spinner or 4-way joystick?
(1/3) > >>
RayB:

Keep in mind the monitor's orientation here... I don't want people saying "you gotta have a 4-way for pacman!" when that game is a vertical game...

I'll eventually build a vertical cab, or multi-purpose cocktail...

A spinner adds alot more games to the list than the 4-way will.

You can play MOST 4-way games with an 8-way, but you can't play many spinner games with a joystick.

If you only want to play games in the correct orientation then discs of tron is the only horizontal I can think of off the top of my head that uses a spinner...unless you want to play the driving games with it.

I suggest going here for horizontal and spinner:

and here for horizontal and 4-way:

just pick the one that has more games you want to play
or put in a switchable joy and a spinner

well did you already purchase the joysticks, cause if not they have a couple that are dual purpose without going under..........one has a lever on the top to switch to 4-way and the other one you lift and turn to lock it into 4-way. I'll try to find the links to both. I know one of them I saw at RetroBlast.
