So, there are no other 4-way 2 player games? I wouldn't ask, but mameworld/maws appears to be down.

Not quite what I said - - -

Pac-Man or Donkey Kong were 4-way 2-player games, but the players alternated turns and used a single centered stick.

Assault and similar games used dual 4-way sticks, but you had to have trigger sticks for the fire buttons, so an Oscar restrictor wouldn't help you.

Basically, Karate Champ was the only dualjoy4-way stick game that I can think of offhand.

ahofle:

Wasn't Crazy Climber dual 4 ways?

EDIT: Nope, dual 8 ways...now I wonder what the diagonals are for.

Of course. I meant simultaneous 2 player 4-way games.  :laugh:

I know.  I was mainly trying to point out that if you search for 2-player 4-way or dualjoy4way on MAWS, you will get a lot of games that don't really apply in this situation.

spystyle:

If someone would put their Oscar restrictor plate and a ruler on a flatbed scanner and scan them, we'd have a template and could make our own - or have a machinist do it.

I'm into it :) Does anyone here own an Oscar restrictor plate ?

I recently got a complaint regarding Pac-Man with an 8-way stick at our Christmas party :



I'd like to make a restrictor plate :)

Thanks,
Craig
