Gyruss and Time Pilot, the way they were meant to be played

I did say it was a hack because, well, it clearly is and it's also pretty obvious that "it's better with a spinner" is my opinion.
Your points about Gyruss are well placed. You zeroed in on the one game where game play was designed well for a joystick. I don't like the game all that much, but I did enjoy it with the spinner. That's why I prefer it with a spinner - I just liked it and would actually play it. The more random games, such as Time Pilot, Star Castle, Asteroids - those work much better out of the box with a spinner than Gyruss.

time pilot was designed by the same guy that did gyruss.
i don't feel like anythings missing out when playing that game with a joystick.
same with time pilot 84 which also used a joystick. but that was a much harder game.

Mr. Peabody:
Set the spinner sensitivity to match the rate of the movement in the original.
Time Pilot '84 has peculiar elements that constrain flight patterns, especially in later levels. However, the game is not in Spinmame.
Marble Madness is fine with a trackball, and finer with a joystick. Fast run areas are easier with a stick with sensitivity of analog directions set to 100.

Sorry to dig up this ancient post :angel:
But since I am just now in the situation of building a spinner MAME cab I'd linke to ask if someone could share his "spinner mame version" with me for playing Gyruss and Time Pilot with it ? Would be highly appreciated. :notworthy:
Thank you.
