What games support push pull spinner?

IG-88 Yes I did do a search at MAWS first. Their search function isnt very good when you wanna search for just spinner games.

Karnako I am sure you can map buttons the the push pull but that would destroy the playability of the game.

I'm currently considering a spinner on my CP to play Arkanoid. For this a "regular" spinner would work. However, I would like to have games that rely on push/pull funcionality to be playable as well.

Would the push/pull be possible to emulate on standard arcade buttons (doesn't need to have perfect results as those are not my favorite games) or would I necessarily need a spinner that can push/pull?

Thanks!

That's a great idea Karnako.  I hadn't thought of that.  I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the push/pulls out there versus what I'd want for use with Arkanoid, Tempest, etc..  Discs Of Tron is the main game I want the push/pull for and I'd probably be the only one playing it (I remember my friends all got frustrated with the game controls, back in the day).  I'd be curious too, as to how feasible it would be to use buttons.

I don't think it would work too well...DoT already has an 8-way stick that has a trigger (throw disc) & a thumb button (shield).  I can't imagine getting 2 more buttons anywhere that's accessible to your already-occupied hands... ???

Oh, good call.  I forgot about the shield.  I was only thinking of a flight/type stick w/trigger (no buttons).  Actually, now that I think about it, I have no idea what flight type joysticks are even available! 

Aren't there flight sticks with 2 thumb buttons as well as a trigger?

jasonbar:

You can buy them with 0, 1, or 2 thumb buttons from  Happ.

2 buttons are needed for Xenophobe, Us Vs. Them, & a few other games.
