Gyruss and Time Pilot, the way they were meant to be played
opt2not:
Yeah I call shenanigans on this. Physically, the hardware does not support analog control, unless they installed some digital --> analog conversion PLUS have the ROMS re-written on the board...
But if you insist that's what you remember, it was most likely a bootleg.
dgame:
it was most likely Tempest :dunno

Did the mame devs ever support trackballs in track-n-field? At some point, there was a conversion from buttons to a trackball and it was a much better experience in my opinion. It's questionable on where the trackballs even came from or how they worked.

Yeah I think later versions of T&F were converted to trackball, but I've never heard of Gyruss going down this route. Been googling all morning about it, and haven't found anything.

I want your job. I'm betting you see a lot of posts in Google of me saying Gyruss should've been made with a spinner in mind? heh.
