Talking Trackballs

GregD:
Need some advice.  Trying to decide if I should put a trackball or a player two setup in my bartop build.  I am new to this so i am not sure which will be more beneficial.  I like Golden Tee but I also see the machine being used a lot by the kids.  Also, are any of the smaller, 2.25" trackballs any good?  Which is a better connection for a trackball?  PS/2 or USB?  Thanks

drventure:
USB all the way.

Personally, I find the 3" just about the right size. However, this is a bartop you're talking about so scalewise, a smaller ball might make sense.

As for 2 player v trackball. I'd probably go with two player. There aren't a huge number of trackball games and it IS fun to be able to play head to head simultaneously when friends are over.

Save the trackball for your +second+ bartop ;)

Also, unless you plan it right, Golden t on a bartop could be a +real+ knuckle buster  :(

I'd say your best bet is to weigh your options based on what games you would most likely be playing.

alot of kids playing it may very well constitute a 2nd player for competitions.
If you can live without the trackball games, you may wanna not worry about having a trackball.
btw, a 3" trackball is best and typically most preferred but I find a 2.25" to be fine. If you ever played Centipede, then you've played with a 2.25"

When I read the title, I thought this was going to be 1 of 2 things...

1) A new video from Nathan Barnatt

2) A new product that had a speaker built into a trackball

I was really hoping for 1)   :cheers:
