It's an authenticity issue... if you really wanted to - you could just use the joystick instead of either. Hell, skip the joystick all together and use a keyboard.

If you have to ask then you definitely don't need a spinner.  ;D

Designate a place on your CP for a spinner. Then at a later date add it if you should so choose. They take up very little space. some come with the ability to just plug and play.

I actually prefer to play Tempest with a trackball instead of a spinner, but that's it.  For most other games like Tron or Arkanoid or any of those others, a spinner is indispensible in my opinion.

Is there still random drug testing here at the boards?  Xam might be in trouble.
