Okay, I used to play this in the arcade, but not much, as it was not a good ROI for my quarter.  I got the Williams Arcade Classics CD 9 or 10 years ago, and still sucked hard at Sinistar.  A few years ago I learned it used 49-way joysticks, and figured that's why I'm so bad at this damned game.

So now, I've got 49-way joysticks (granted without centering spider).  But still.  I mean, has anyone ever, in the history of gaming, gotten past like the second level of this game?
Havok:
Certainly not me - but it's a cool game. I play it more now that a quarter isn't riding on it - but still hard! One of these days I'll pick up some 49 ways and see if I can do better...
fatfingers:

Not me either.  I think I've only passed level one like once or twice!  Of course, I've never played it that much -- the main time I played it I was probably 12 or so and a motel I was staying at had one.  I didn't spend much time swimming that time, but I sure did get good at putting quarters in the slot!  I was completely addicted to that game -- and I still love the sound bites!

Yep, it's a tough game but that's what makes it so fun.   :)

Without the centering spider it will be a lot tougher to play for sure.  I do horrible w/ my Wico and 360 joysticks.  My friend who is *very* good at Sinistar can't get that far either without the original joystick.

It actually works great with a spinner and a 2 button joystick.
