Hello All, I am building a cocktail cabinet, and for the main control panels went with a 4-way, 8-way switchable, the Mag-Stick Plus from Ultimarc. The joys are really good. They have a light feel that a really like, and changing from the top of the control panel without a switch or knob is nice. My question is on the side, or third, control panel. A lot of old, vertical games had 4-way controls, and hence the Mag Stick plus. But on the side panel, facing the monitor horizontally, it seems most games are 8-way. Are there any 4-way games on horizontal screens? I'd like to cut a corner and go with just 8-ways. Any thoughts? |

I went with 8 ways on the 3rd CP on my cocktail cab. It's fine, IMO. There are a few 4 way horizontal games like Elevator Action, Tetris, etc. but it's not a huge deal. |

I have found playing ms pacman and games made for 4 way sticks do not respond and feel good on an 8 way stick. |

I tried to play ms. pacman with an 8-way stick. Trust me, it's not doable. Especially when you are chased by a ghost... or 4! :laugh2: So I ordered a pair of Ultimarc Mag Stick plus. ;D :cheers: |

I want to have the third panel work for 3, 4, as well as 1 and 2. I don't know if there's a way. |
