| Quarterback spring control |

Not sure if anyone has played the game Leland's Quarterback at the arcades, it was one of my favs back in the day. I play this on mame using very awkard controls (every play is a long bomb and rushing seems impossible). The game featured a sping-back lever to aim and throw (release) a pass; it would spring back to the UP position not the center. There was also a similar College quarterback game with the same mechanism. Not too sure but there might have been a baseball game that used it for batting too (this could be a false memory though). I'm wondering if anyone has given any thoughts as to how this might work? Maybe a regular spring back device where only the bottom half is exposed to the control panel? Hmm. |

I recently saw an ebay auction for the controls I believe you are talking about. I can't find it now, so maybe it ended. I remember the baseball game too. I don't recall which for sure, but there's another Leland game called Strike Zone Baseball that I believe uses the "joystick with spring return". Go to www.klov.com and search for Leland to find it. I would imagine it would behave like any other analog type input, so it could be done. |

Those little sticks end up on ebay pretty often, and pretty cheap, too. They're analog sticks, and hook up to a PC with an AKI, A-Pac, or Dual-Strike hack. |

I have a complete quarterback harness with 2 of those joysticks, pcb board, manual I am willing to part with. Not sure if PCB works but it did when it was taken from machine. |
