Title: How many simultaneous 2 player games are there that use a 4 way joystick?
Post by: jimj on November 06, 2004, 04:16:56 pm
How many simultaneous 2 player games are there that use a 4 way joystick?  I'm only interested in games where two people play at the same time with a 4 way joystick, like "Chinese Heroes" (http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/chinhero).  I tried searching http://www.mameworld.net/maws/ for this, but you can't search for just simultaneous 2 player games.  For example a search for 2 player games that use a 4 way joystick returns "Dig Dug".

The reason I ask is that I'm considering buying the "SlikStik Classic" CP (http://slikstik.com/detail.aspx?ID=6), but it only has one 4 way joystick and two 8 ways.  This is fine for Dig Dug, but I'm not sure how well the 8 ways will work with 2 player 4 way games like Chinese Heroes. Chinese Heroes is one of my favorite games, but if it's the only simultaneous 2 player game that uses 4 way joysticks I may be able to live with this setup.

Karate Champ uses 4 of them at once.

Wizard of Wor

Assault uses dual 4-way in single player mode.

I was never a big fan of Karate Champ or Assault, but I loved the Wizard of Wor on my C64.  I never even realized it was an arcade game first.   Thanks for the info!
