Playing spinner games on trackball - how is it?
Matt Berry:
It is possible to play some with a trackball or mouse but it is nowhere as nice. After buying a spinner you will have no problems beating your highest scores acheived with the trackball, and that is before you get warmed up ;)

I would liken the experience to playing joystick games with your keyboard.
You CAN do it, but it's not nearly as fun.
If you check out some of the other spinner games, I bet you'd find several that you will come back to regularly.
GameOver:
The spinner also does double duty as a steering wheel on my panel. Crude but effective. The spinner works really well for Championship & Super Sprint, one of my favs. Unless you're going to have a seperate sterring wheel panel, consider the spinner a steering wheel too. But - the t-ball works for that too, just not nearly as well. And how about Arkanoid? I didn't think I'd play that (those) games, but got hooked.
There's always those games you weren't planning on playing that will bite ya in the butt later. If you can swing it, I would recommend putting a spinner on. After all the effort you're putting into your cab, don't sell yourself short by not putting one on!

Speaking of spinners as steering wheels, I have plans to find a cheap plastic steering wheel (like from a kids toy or an old PC steering), and trying to make it fit right onto the spinner knob (removable). Anyone do this?

I have, and its not to good. It will come no matter how tightly fits around the spinner, it just wiggel out during use.
