The best spinner?
« on: October 08, 2005, 01:46:59 am »
Can anybody recommend a good spinner?

I've heard great reviews of the Tempest spinner from OscarControls.  But unfortunately, I can't order anythihg--seems like they're closed (anybody know what's going on?).

Any others?  How about the SlikStik?

Thanks

I think the SlikStick Tornado (http://www.slikstik.com/spinfeat.htm) Is the best, but it really depends on your personal preference. I prefer ones that have a long spin time.

I have the slikstik tornado and its a very nice spinner.  I haven't used any others to compare it to but its made very well and I would recommend it to anyone.

Since oscarcontrols has been off-line for sometime... the Slikstik spinners are the only real option.

They are of excellent quality, there's no doubt about that, though.

Retroblast had a spinner roundup a while back.

The Tornado, last time I checked, did not work under DOS.

I have changed my nickname to "Cakemeister". Please do not PM the Buddabing account because I do not check it anymore.

Please read the wiki!
