Not technically accurate. Warlords uses 4 paddles (which is significantly easier to interface than 4 spiners).

Darkstalker:

There's Xenophobe as well for odd joystick controls.

Top Skater, that you actually stand on a skateboard:

I remember a snowboarding counterpart to this game as well...


There's Mocap Boxing where you hold the two boxing gloves and swing towards the screen...

Looks much more manly to play that over DDR  ;D

The Silent Scope series, which I would guess is a 4-way joystick since it is anchored to the machine.

Not sure how weird it is, but Brace Figherfigters has two "fire hose" lightguns:

Then there was one where you are in a canoe or something, and your controls are a short set of paddles.

Xenophobe I imagine is the only game from this list emulated...Not sure if you were after MAME only, or a general list...

Lilwolf:

As for dual joysticks... Karate fighters are dual 4 ways... if you want to seperate them.

And for weird control tops on standard controls... You have like crossbow that had a crossbow on an analog t2 type controller... 

You also have the finger up the butt game that everyones seen pictures of... but never seen one in person.  That seems like a PERFECT game to travel around the country putting it in companies for a few weeks at a time.  I know it would be packed for a few days here...

Here are some examples that I have discovered:

What other games are out there with zany controls?

Thanks!

Some of the ones I thought of (that don't seem to have been mentioned yet) are:

Mouse Trap (3 big lit square buttons, not really zany I guess)
Xybots (cool twisting joystick)    :notworthy:

KenToad:

Don't forget the "full size" motorcycle from Super Hang-On that was so cool to lean on but really was so hard to control that you lost quickly every time.
