| CP with Asteroids/Space Invader buttons? |

| Extreme8:
Does anyone have a control panel that incorporates the left / right direction buttons like the ones used on the Midway Space Invaders & Asteroids, or is the joystick the modern replacement. If you do have the buttons, are they used or do you find the joystick is a better input device for these classics. I've decided to give the GP-Wiz49 a shot so if they work out the way I hope I'll have a bunch of panel real estate left open after I remove my reunion stick and thought this might be an interesting option. |

Asteroids feels better with buttons because that's what I was used to. |

Same here. I don't like the joystick. My panel looks like this: J1 OOO J2 OOO OOO OOO 2 Joysticks with 6 buttons each (+ spinner and trackball but that isn't important). I use the lower left two buttons for rotate left/right and the lower right three buttons for thrust, fire, hyperspace. Works out well for me. |

I'll chime in with the same opinion of Mark and Mike. Asteroids is better with buttons.....we could play a long time on a single quarter hunting ships during my younger days. I, too, use a combination of P1/P2 buttons mapped to Asteroid controls. |

I have an authentic asteroids lay-out on my panel. Ateroids / Space Invaders with a joystick is just wrong... |
