| Poll: During game play which hand do you use? |
| << < (3/4) > >> |
| Crowquill:
On classic cabs that are set up to be ambidextrous (most), I ALWAYS use my right hand for the directional controls. I think it's interesting that most Atari control panels were either ambidextrous or forced you to use your right hand for controls. This holds true even for the 2600 joysticks. I remember an article in "Atari Age" magazine on how to wire your joystick to be "left-handed". Intellivision, Colecovision, and even 7800 had ambidextrous controllers though. On the other hand, pretty much every other manufacturer made their control panels "left-handed." It became the standard and my MAME cab reflects that. I still answered right-only though |

Hmmmm... What an interesting question.....Made me think..... I'm right handed..... Normally Joy in left.... buttons with right.... Although.... Gorf = Right hand Arkanoid....spinner = right hand... Trackball (Combat schoool) = left hand trackball...... Still thinking...... I'm sure I also used to swap as the cab I was playing dictated or what felt most comfortable... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm This thinking lark sucks..... Gimmie a beer.... ;D |

i choose 'left hand only'. this is because both my cocktail cab and the game pad i use for my PC only have this option. given a chance i would play games like pacman with my right. eventually ill build an upright and i guess ill config those games onto player 2's joy... |

I use my right hand for joystick control and have set all of my CP's out with one joystick set for RH use the other for LH use. |
