| Spinner or 4-way joystick? |

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... ~Ray B. |

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: http://link.mywwwserver.com/~jstookey/arcade/sortinfo/index.php?num_switches=2&do_search=1&switch0=orientation&operator0=%3D&switchvalue0=horizontal&boolean0=AND&switch1=control&operator1=%3D&switchvalue1=dial and here for horizontal and 4-way: http://link.mywwwserver.com/~jstookey/arcade/sortinfo/index.php?num_switches=2&do_search=1&switch0=orientation&operator0=%3D&switchvalue0=horizontal&boolean0=AND&switch1=control&operator1=%3D&switchvalue1=joy4way 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. http://www.retroblast.com/index.php |

you can always gets a t-stik plus and use that for your 4-way AND 8-way... then you can have a spinner, too |
