trackball games that use 5 buttons or less

[david656]

looking for ideas on games for my new cab im altering/restoring/mameing

i have crystal maze which is the name above the cab thats it!!

Q*bert i thing is a good idea had that on my old sony erricson phone!

suggestions plz greatly apreciated

[Matthew Fisher]

   Wouldn't that be all of them?  Do any use more than three? 

[pointdablame]

Yeah, I don't know of ANY trackball games that use 5 buttons.

And Qbert didn't use a trackball.. so I'm assuming you will be adding a joystick for it?  It is a diagonal 4way joystick which will only play a handful of games.

[david656]

right.... ok i didn't no that duuuuuuhh how thik am i 

ok so at the minute i have crystal maze

thanks for warning me as i would of spent hours thinking there all wrong lol

so r there any good trackball games out there???

[Lutus]

Plenty, in fact, use the search function here on the forum and type in "trackball game list" or "trackball games" and see what happens.   


http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=33536.0

That forum topic is even entitled "How many buttons do I need to play every trackball in MAME" or something to that effect.

USE THE SEARCH!

Missile Command is 5 buttons, if you count the two player start buttons.

[david656]

thanks for that suggestion is missile command good? what would it compare to on PS2 i.e. namco's rally x to GT3/4

[Lutus]

It would compare to nothing that I would know of on PS2.

Fire it up in Mame and use the mouse to control it and see what you think.

Or try this...

It's exactly like Madden 07 but instead of football you blow up these little lines in the sky to protect these 3 little cities.

You're going to hate it. It's like a cell-phone game game, blown up to the size of a regular monitor. Blocky and chunky. Uses only 4 colors.

[Harry Potter]

Don't bother with Missile COmmand.

It's no good.

[thebrownshow]

rite im a kid i long to of lived in the 80's but i didn't ok so im askin about these things

Wait, I think I've got a translation:

"You are all correct.  I am but a child.  I long to have lived in the decade known as the Eighties, but sadly, I was born in 1996 to a mother who smoked crack, thus explaining my inability to post a properly formed sentence."



He's right though... Missile Command sucks, there's no blood or cheat codes or anything!

[david656]

1991 im older than you lol!!!


oi soap box here this is about trackball games and yes missle command don't look like a contender for my machine i haven't seen worse exept virtual joe or summit i found on my ps2?

Jacktucky "even if they type gooder, who knows who their dad is?"

Do you mean Viewtiful Joe?

And if so.. are you really bashing Viewtiful Joe AND Missile Command?  Quit now... you're not meant to play games.

[sez]

Quit now... you're not meant to play games.

   

[horseboy]

Missile Command is the one with the big snake, right?

[Zakk]

No, ZAKK is the one with the big snake.

Posts like this make a strong case for mandatory sterilization.

[missioncontrol]

without trying to overflow your brain with too much knowledge at one time, Centipede is another great trackball game..........

In the interest of actually helping here, a great resource is MAWS (http://www.mameworld.net/maws/).  Click on "Deluxe Search" then select "Trackball" in the "Control" drop-down menu on the left.  Returns 6 pages with almost 150 results.  Enjoy.




But in all seriousness, you should work on your communication skills around here.  It's really quite difficult to understand what it is that you're asking sometimes, and you'll find you'll be more likely to get help rather than harassment.
