I gotta say that my favorite part of Mame and BYOAC is the games with more bizarre control methods. I would like to compile a list of the games which fall under the "wacky controls" category. These are the games that go above and beyond the typical... Ikari Warriors, Karate Champ Vs., Warlords, Atari Football - these DON'T cut it... They're not quite wacky enough. I believe that all of these are beyond the scope of MAME -listinfo... Here are some examples that I have discovered: JOYSTICK + TRACKBALL ----------------------------- SDI - (2 players simultaneous ambidextrous!!!) Wacko Snake Pit (really really rad game) JOYSTICK + SPINNER -------------------------- Tron - one button on joystick Discs of Tron - up/down spinner + 2 buttons on joystick Zwackery - same as Discs of Tron Crater Raider - 2 way joy + spinner Aztarac - Analog joy (broken in Mame, simple hack) Kozmic Kroozer UNIQUE ---------- 720 - spinner joystick w/2 encoder wheels DUAL JOYSTICK 3 PLAYERS SIMULTANEOUS ------------------------------------------------------ Star Guards - (broken in Mame - simple hack) DRIVING GAMES -------------------- Night Stocker - steering wheel + lightgun Lucky & wild - steering wheel & 2 lightguns Gun Buster - (2 players) * (lightgun/joystick/3 buttons) Tin Star - 8-position switch with push-down button Front Line - 8-position switch with push-down button Wild Western - 8-position switch with push-down button Dribbling - Rotary w/push down button Stompin - Dance Dance Revolution style controls What other games are out there with zany controls? Thanks! |

First off the top of my head. I'll see if my head pops any more later. |

What's this 12-way joystick business? What game(s)? |

You know, time solder, heavy barrel, and ikari type. But I missed that they "don't cut it". :-[ Forgotten world and caliber 50 used a push down spinner and 8way stick, and might make it. Another JOYSTICK + SPINNER: Major havoc |

Do you mean things like Streetfighter original, with it's big pressure sensitive(if they were, it was a long time ago) rubber thump buttons, sonic blastman with the big pad you had to thump as hard as you can. |
