DIY Spinner using common Potentiometer?
PL1:
Finally got around to doing a fairly thorough review/re-organization of the gamelists on the wiki Spinners and Dials page.
(Still have a list of >140 games to sort through. :( )
LMK if there's any other games you'd like to see added or if I've mis-categorized any games.

They're on that 140+ list.
Are Free Kick and Gigas spinner or potentiometer games?
Scott
Nephasth:
They're spinner games. I've got the boards for 'em and use an Arkanoid spinner.
PL1:
Thanks, Neph -- all three added. :cheers:
Anyone have any opinions/suggestions about adding either a "270° steering wheel (potentiometer) games" or "Steering wheel (potentiometer) games" category after "Paddle (potentiometer) games"?
