WHY A SPINNER, JUST FOR TEMPEST? JOG MY MEMORY PLEASE!
rackoon:
WHY SHOULD I PUT A SPINNER ON MY CONTROL BOARD?
I SPENT MANY A YEARS IN ARCADES, BOWLLING ALLYES, AND CONVENIENT STORES, IN THE 80'S AND I BELIVE THAT TEMPEST WAS THE ONLY GAME I HAVE COME ACROSS THAT HAD A SPINNER. INFACT, I AM NOT SHURE IT HAD A SPINNER. UNFORUATLY , 34 YEARS OF BAD HABITS HAVE SPENT MY MEMORY. (ACTUALLY I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BAD HABITS TIL I WAS AT LEAST 16) REGARDLESS,
ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN JOG MY MEMORY OF OTHER GAMES THAT USED A SPINNER
(DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE TEMPEST)

Tempest is actually a good enough reason.
Tron comes to mind as a second.
Omega Race.

For the love of everything good in this world cap locks button is your friend.
Besides tempest you have araknoid(imagine breakout),camelty is a fun maze game where you try to get a ball through a course that you spin around.How bout Tron and Discs of Tron ,bet you saw those around your area.
Those are the games that I can think of that moment and im sure there is more.The novelty and fun of having a spinner is worth every penny.Of course I like tempest alot.
Santoro:
Spinners are cool for some of the driving games too.
