Sonic Trackball Arcade Game?!?! Bring this to the PSN!!!

[WhereEaglesDare]

There was a Sonic Arcade Game. It had a track ball and robotnik threw obstacles at ya.  I played it on MAME ands pretty good.  I started a page to try to bring it to the PSN so I can play it on the PS3. http://www.facebook.com/SEGASonicArcade please share.

Unless there's a trackball peripheral for the PS3 I don't know about (and if there was, no one's buying it - much like the PS1 trackball), it hardly seems worth it...

Why wouldn't they be able to map it an analog stick???

Maybe I need to play it again but from what I remembered, it was like Marble Madness in that you were perpetually rolling the ball.  Seems like it wouldn't be the same with just analog stick control.

No, it's not like marble madness. You run using the trackball.  I'm going to connect a dual shock 3 sometime soon and try to get it to play with that. It reminds me a lot of Sonic 3D Blast for the Genesis/Saturn

If you want Sega to actually listen to your FB page, you probably shouldn't post stuff like "What the hell is this?! I feel lied to... "

Yeah I was to about to say "Sonic Arcade Game - Trackball = Sonic 3D Blast" which was kind of underwhelming. But I dunno, I'll try to fire it up tonight and see what it's about since the last time I played was years ago...

EDIT: Played it (with TB) and yes, it does share a bit in common with Marble Madness.  You are controlling Sonic on a track of obstacles - no real enemies to defeat, pseudo time limit (i.e. whatever's chasing you).  It's an interesting enough game but I don't know if I'd actually spend money if it were on PSN. And I think it needs a trackball. But that's just me.
