Do any spinner games need more than one button?
« on: August 11, 2008, 01:01:07 pm »
I'm designing my panel and can't decide how many buttons to have next to the spinner.  I noticed that a lot of panels have two, but I think that might be for the dedicated 4-way's use too.  I'm not going to have a 4 way next to the spinner.  So, can I get away with one spinner button, or are there spinner games that need two buttons?

I'm an idiot.  I must have had a mental block on that or something!  Thanks for straightening me out!  Ok, two buttons it is.

If you can't find it, Start Trek is Star Trek's weird, cranky uncle.   ;D

Good point though as it is a great game.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.
