How do you control Asteroids?

Pages: (1/5) > >>

vidmouse:

Just curious how people set up their cabs for Asteroids
and Asteroids-like games... do you use the standard
MAME configuration with the joystick or do you
remap to buttons like the original arcade game?

Or, some other methods?  I thought about using
a spinner to control the rotation, wonder if that
adds a good element to the play.



(+_+):

This was one of the games I based my cp layout around. It's the only way to go.

Buttons only is the ONLY way to play!

I'm currently hell-bent on finding an original Asteroids for my home. I have a few lines on one, I'm just trying to work the best price out for myself. Asteroids is pretty timeless, in my opinion, but you gotta play it like it was originally designed.

I've got an original Asteroids Deluxe and I must say, the original button layout is the way to go.

Original AD and Space Duel here... no MAME at all.

A spinner?  Sounds good, but I think that control translation would be hard, wouldn't it?
