Vector Controls
southpaw13:
If I would make a control panel that played only vector games, what controls would I need on it?
Thanks!!!
ChadTower:
Just about everything you could think of and a few big money specialty controllers.

Go to http://www.mameworld.net/maws/, click "Deluxe Search" and go to "Display Type" to choose "vector". There's only 80 results (with many clones, etc.) so you can see what each game used and get an idea of what you need to slap on your panel (besides the Star Wars yoke and spinner for Tempest, of course).

Hey Dave!
Love your avitar!
I have the video if anybody wants to see it.

Ha! That's my favorite Futurama clip. Embarassingly, I just recently got into that show(odd since I'm a die-hard Simpsons fan). Thanks for the compliment.
Question for southpaw: I took the time to reread the post. Are you making a dedicated vector cabinet (with gen-yoo-ine vector monitor) or just a control panel? Because there's really nothing unique or outside the ordinary as far as CP requirements for vector games. Controls pertain more to game play than the way they're displayed.
