To me, the proper controls for Time Pilot/Gyruss is a spinner. Just makes sense. The game isn't properly geared for someone using a spinner and it's much easier, but I think it's much more intuitive.

Star Castle is another game that could use a spinner.

If you (or somebody) is going to run with this, then we could come up with a pretty big list.  Essentially anything with the left/right rotate buttons would be fun to try in spinner mode too.

Off the top of my head:
Armor...Attack!
Rip Off
Space War
Asteroids Deluxe
Gravitar
Space Duel
Eliminator
Sinistar?  You'd need a Thrust button added...

And, since Galaga & Galaxian were in the first hack, you could also add a bajillion move-left/right-across-the-bottom-and-shoot-the-stuff-coming-down-at-you games:
Space Invaders
Phoenix
Pleiades
etc etc etc

I think Sinistar would need extra hacking for that. Plus, I think Sinistar is not only 49-way, but incremental from center to finish, in which case, you'd be missin out on that part using a digital control. But, hey, maybe a Space Navigator would be perfect there?
