Title: What games used 2 joysticks?
Post by: fredster on September 28, 2004, 10:24:03 pm: What games used 2 joysticks like Robotron?

Crazy Climber did, any others?

Somebody once found a program that had a sort of all the games and the controllers. It was some kind of tabulated database program.

Anybody have that somewhere or know where it's at?

SirP, I believe, helps work that one...SortInfo was the name, IIRC.

You can get the list yourself, without any utility programs.

Do a "mame -listxml >output.txt". Then look at the output.txt and search for "doublejoy". That will take you to each game that uses double 4 or 8 ways.

Here's a list of several that I got very quickly. I've never played several of them.

Also keep in mind that the controls MAME uses may not be the same as the actual controls used on the game.

Rock Climber
Mars
Rescue
Apocalypse Now
Minefield
Lost Tomb
Crazy Climber
Crazy Climber 2
Libble Rabble
The Return of Ishtar
Assault
Assault Plus
Indoor Soccer
Sheriff
Bandido
Star Guards

HTH,
