K. Pretty sure first spinner game was PONG. But the trac? What was it? |

Atari Football? I think that was the first trackball game I ever saw.... --- Quote ---Trivia This was the first game to use a trac-ball as the controller. Chances are that you will be more worn our after playing this game than after playing an actual game of football! --- End quote --- http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=13018 BTW: Pong used a DIAL not a spinner...so it's not the first spinner game. |

Well, I kinda was referring to the spinner as a control - I get what you're saying, tho. Breakout was a true spinner game or not? So, first true spinner game was. . . ? |

Anyhow, for "spinner" I'm thinking something like Tempest's spinner. I guess, technically, any driving game that used opto inputs for the wheel would qualify but I'm thinking as a handsized spinner, not a big steering wheel. . . |
