Although I dissagree with the original poster's choice to TYPE IN ALL CAPS, I too am wondering what kind of killer apps exist that would make me want to buy a spinner. $80 is an aweful lot to spend on what to me seems like a glorified TV knob. I'm sure that it's great to have for games like Tempest and Tron, but those are the only Spinner-Enabled roms I've played, and I've only played those games using alternate control setups on my PC. I doubt that I'll be able to put a spinner into my first attempt because they're so freakin' expensive, but I might consider it on a future project, possibly.

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)
