Joystics with fire button on top
Hyperfan:
Hi
I see some control panel designs have an estra joystick with a fire button on top on them.
Like this one (top right) http://www.newfossils.com/images/ArcadeMachine/ControlPanelTop.JPG
What specific games are these designed for?
mimic:
Top fire would mostly be usable in tank type games like battlezone. On the picture provided that's a bad setup, as it should have 2 joys, of which one would have top fire, otherwise there is little purpose for a single joy to have top fire, I guess you could use it with tron maybe?
One more game that would be usable SDI-strategic defense initiative you would need joy with top fire for optimal playability as your other hand is occupied with trackball (please no innuendos here!) ;)

I have fun playing gorf with a top fire. I know its not quite a pistol grip... still fun tho.

I use my star wars yoke for battlezone.
OK, I know it is not authentic... but another great use for the best controller ever designed!
