2 Joystick games

(1/2) > >>

MasTequila:
I am putting together a somewhat modular control panel design and I was have a few questions.

1.How many games use 2 joysitcks?

2.Are they trigger joysticks?

3.Are they 4 or 8 way?

4.Are there any 2 or 4 player games that use 2 joysticks per player or do the players take turns on  the same set of 2 joysticks?

Thanks,
~Mas

4.  Smash TV used 2 8-way Joys per player

>1.How many games use 2 joysitcks?

(Per player, right - i.e. not SF, MK, 1943, etc.)

A brief list would be:

Robotron
Smash TV
BattleZone
Assault
Sarge
Vindicators
Crazy Climber
Karate Champ

I'm sure there are tons more, but just off the top of my head.

>2.Are they trigger joysticks?

Generally only the "Tank" games use triggers.  Vindicators is about the worst with a trigger and thumb button on each stick.

>3.Are they 4 or 8 way?

Karate Champ was dual 4-way.
Some of the "Tank" games like Assault were dual 4-way, but I think they will play fine with an 8-way.
Many of the "Tank" games like Battlezone were dual 2-way vertical, but they will play fine with an 8-way.
All the others were 8-way.

>4.Are there any 2 or 4 player games that use 2 joysticks per player >or do the players take turns on  the same set of 2 joysticks?

Don't know of ANY 4-player dual joystick games.

Generally they take turns - exceptions would be Smash TV, Sarge, Vindicators, and maybe some others. . .

MasTequila:
So 8 ways would be fine for most games?

Also would it be playable to have regular joysticks and then have a few buttons in the middle for the tank games or is button joysticks the best way to go?
