Strange button configurations?
Magnet_Eye:
what games have odd configurations, or use just buttons only for control? I need to design a button layout to the left of my Trackball. I was just gonna put two buttons, but perhaps I should do something else since I have the space..?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
paigeoliver:
A large percentage of Space Invaders type games used buttons only.
Then there are the vectors. A lot of vector games were button only.
A set of two on the left (left, right), with three on the right (thrust, fire, hyperspace) should work for most button games.
u_rebelscum:
Missile Command (trackball game) has three buttons to the left of the TB.
Wasn't a couple all button games with six buttons: left, right and reverse on the left side, fire and thrust to the right side, and hyperspace in the middle? You could do a three left and three right button arangement. That's what I have on my "test" trackball CP, all painted and, um, still in "testing" phase. Not sure when the non-test TB cp will be made...

Also note, I only have space to the LEFT of my TB, the right of it has a 4-way stick/buttons in place..

OH, and while we're at it, what is the maximum # of buttons I would need for any of the 4-way games? I was planning on placing only 2. I can't think of any 4-way games that use use more then 2 buttons.
