Hey everyone, I am still planning away and have now designed several panels to choose from! I had a look at http://www.slikstik.com to see what they were making and came across these HAPP top fire 8 way super joysticks... Question is, is there any games that actually used to use these??!! |

Games that used/needed a Top Fire Stick and could be played with a Happ Top Fire Super: Battlezone Tron Discs of Tron (needs thumb button) Assault (needs thumb button or two top fires) Vindicators Sarge Games that used a Top Fire Stick but didn't really need one Xenophobe Zaxxon Choplifter (some versions) Gorf (not an all-inclusive list) Alternatives to the Happ Supers - Several people have hacked a PC Joystick (especially a Raider Pro) to a Happ base (includes at least one thumb switch). http://www.oscarcontrols.com/projects/triggerstick.shtml www.groovygamegear.com sells a top-fire version of the Prodigy joystick. 1Up (www.spincade.com) sells a modified comp or 49-way stick with Tron handles. RayB used to sell modifed ball-top sticks with a top-fire mechanism, but he sold out. |

I got a pair out of a Taito Silkworm. I figure I'll use them for things like Galaga...for no real reason. ;D |

The original game had dual trigger sticks, but both triggers did the same thing (so you only need one button). Fun game, btw. |

Ninja gainden in teh arcades had a top fire joystick for some reason, when another button would of worked better IMO |
