Defender - except for the joystick - it used all buttons! --- End quote --- Uhhhhhmmmm, am I missing the point of this thread or are others. The point was BUTTONS only. So even a two-way joystick is ruled out, because.....it's a joystick. Defender has a JOYSTICK for up and down. So it's not buttons only. And don't say it isn't true, I played Defender on the original cab a couple of weeks ago for the very first time in my life, and boy was I puzzled by that weird set-up of controls. I mean, I could have lived with the accelarator button, but freakin' h#ll, for reverse even a button more. Why didn't they simply use a four-way stick ? |
