I second that, I have never, ever needed two 4-way sticks. I didn't even realize that there were any 4-way game with simultanious play. Beating a dead horse.... that spinner will hurt real bad. Have a first aid kit handy! :hissy: |

There aren't many, but off the top of my head: Karate Champ used dual 4 ways for single player and you need four 4 ways to play against each other Namco Classics allows you to play simultaneous Dig Dug, Pacman, and a couple others. The problem is these classics have been "updated" Lastly, you can configure mame to have 1 4 way handle player 1 and the other 4 way to handle player 2. With that being said, I have a dedicated 4 way machine with just 1 joystick on it. Seems to not confuse people so much. |

I guess the main game I am thinking about is Bubble Bobble. My kids love this game! I also think Bomberman has 2 player, too. I'm still undecided. I like the idea of having a dedicated machine, its that I haven't even finished one yet, so I can't assume I can build 2. That could take years! ;) And i'll definately move that spinner away from the track ball. Spinner is for Tempest and Arkanoid and the trackball is for centipede, missle command, crystal castles and marble madness! |

I have the Mag-Stik Plus on a test single player CP. The throw is pretty darn short. I love the ability to switch between 4way and 8way though. I haven't had any problems playing 4 or 8 way games on it...my problem is just with the feel of it (as I don't remember any arcade game with this short of a throw). |
