| Multi-Williams Q about 8-Ways. |
| (1/3) > >> |
| Witchboard:
Is there any other reason to have two 8-way joysticks on the Multi-Williams besides to play Robotron? It seems most of the games meant to be supported by the Multi-Williams are either 4-Way or 2-Way. |

Bubbles requires an 8-way stick. Robotron requires dual 8-ways Splat requires dual 8-ways Joust require dual 2-ways (left-right) Stargate and Defender require a single 2-way up-down. NONE of them are 4-way. 2-way games play perfectly with an 8-way. |

Fair enough. The thing is, I was working on more than one control panel and already have two 8-ways on a figher setup. I was wondering if I could switch out the Multi-Williams for 4-ways to play Wizard of Wor, Pacman, Donkey Kong, BurgerTime, Karate Champ and etc. since I've heard that 4-way games play poor on 8-way sticks. I know that wouldn't make it a Multi-Williams. I'm just trying to expand the amount of games without duplicating controls. |

If you've HEARD that 4-way games play badly with an 8-way stick, wait until you TRY to play 8-way games with a 4-way stick. I'll take the "4-way game/8-way stick" setup anyday, over the reverse. At least 4-way games are PLAYABLE with an 8-way stick. |

Why would I play an 8-way game with a 4-way stick? I would use the already two 8-way sticks on my other panel. I just think it's a waste and redundant to have two panels both with two 8-way sticks, unless one pair is rotary or top fire. |
