Yes! Defender - except for the joystick - it used all buttons!

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 ?

i took the liberty of mentioning games that can be played very well with buttons only. imo, this includes many games with horizontal 2-way joysticks. i actually think i can get higher scores using "left" and "right" buttons than i can with a "left/right" joystick.

defender, on the other hand, has a vertical 2-way joystick and is not playable with buttons only.

of course, if the op only wanted to know which games originally used only buttons, then... never mind!  :)

Ahh! Good point.

I suppose all the Dance Dance revolution games qualifies as button only.

And here I thought I was being clever. I was being sarcastic -

"Except for the joystick - it used all buttons!"

... I mean, come on.
