Actually Missile Command (upright) and Atari Football used a 4 1/2" trackball.  Millipede and Crystal Castles a 3" and Centipede a 2 1/4".  The cocktail versions and cabarets of Missile Command also used a 2 1/4".  Newer games like Golden Tee tend to use a 3" trackball.

Playing Missile Command with one of the smaller trackballs isn't quite the same but I imagine Centipede with the 4 1/2" isn't either.  I'll give it a try and let you know.  ;)

I was playing Missile Command last night with my 3" Crayola Kids ball.  It seems pretty good to me.  

I also tried it with Atarti Football,  forgot how exhausting that game could be!
