Are you using a bare spinner or a mini driving wheel (ala the Turbo Twist 2?).

At any rate, I may end up trying just one spinner initially to see how it plays before investing in two.

yotsuya:
I AM using the TurboTwist2, but in spinner configuration. No wheel. I played a ton of Off-Road in college, though. I can't imagine a mini-wheel and a push button would be s satisfying. It's passable, but...

shponglefan:
I think the pedal would be a must.  I figure the TT w/ the wheel is at least a "poor man's" driving wheel, since the cost of real 360 wheels is quite high.  Unless a cab can be had for a decent price...

PL1:
I hooked up one of these in parallel with two of my P2 buttons and it works fine for a microswitch-type gas and brake or up/down for Discs of TRON.



A parallel printer cable fits perfectly into the wire entry notch on the switch.

Some of my favorite games that get some good play with my Trackball:
Centipede
Millipede
Missle Command

Also great for Golden Tee as well as for 1st Person Shooters when you don't have guns.

Luck!
