Top fire joysticks in slikstiks... pointless?
unix4hire:
I wanted to ask what the point of having top fire sticks for the 2nd stick in the dual stick slikstik CPs. Are there games that require two sticks with one being a top fire? Or just overkill.

Assault, Vindicators, Battlezone...right off the top of my head.

i prefer a dedicated 8-way trigger stick, if you have the space and money. you need the trigger stick if you want to play discs of tron, because it includes both a trigger and a thumb button. tank games work very well with one trigger stick and one ordinary joystick, even better with two trigger sticks.

And just a minor clarification, Vindicators needs two buttons per stick (one for rotating the turret, and one to fire).

We reprogrammed the bomb button for the top fire stick in Total Carnage. I also used it for Zaxxon, Gorf, and Tron.
