Search for games by controls?
« on: June 24, 2009, 09:00:17 am »
I know I've seen a resource like this on the 'net but I can't find it again.

I want to build my sister-in-law a tabletop cabinet with few controls: a four-way and one, maybe two buttons.

I'd like to build a list of games that can run with only these controls. How can I generate such a list?

Thanks!

I think you may be looking for [maws]. Click on deluxe search at the top to open the control etc filters.

Would Romlister help? Do a search, I believe the owner of that goes by the name NOP...the program generates list by category and controls...

Another vote for RomLister.  MAWs would give you the info you want, but RomLister will do a better job and can generate lists in various formats so you can actually use the info you find.
