I recall being able to use one N64 controller per hand ala the way the arcade version plays.  If I recall correctly, it was a code you had to enter.

Yep, go here for the code:

Heh, have to sticky this one in case I ever get a beefier cab PC
and dual analog sticks..

Any chance there's a similar code for the PC version?

FWIW, Battlezone 2 is one of the greatest games I've ever played.  It's like an RTS, but you get to play as an FPS so you're not just sitting there watching battles happen -- you can hop in a tank and join the fight.  I wished they came out with another sequel.

That was a great game when it came out.  Another game that had a similar type of RTS/FPS setup was the game Giants: Citizen Kabuto.  Sacrifice also had a RTS/FPS style, but it focused less on building bases and more on ordering units around.  All of these were great games, which is why its surprising this gameplay type isn't used more often.

Exactly, I never understood why you don't see more games like that.  I keep hoping for a Battlezone 3 to come out.  Thanks for the tip on those other two (I've never even heard of them).  :cheers:

I think Giants:  Citizen Kabuto was just one game (?)

Cool.  I was afraid when I orignally started this thread that I'd get flamed bad for discussing PC vs arcade games but I guess we treaded the line well enough...  keep 'em coming!

Reading the Hulk system requirements, I don't think it will work, at least not with my setup -- needs a more powerful processor than what I've currently got :(

Can't imagine any of my RPG's playing exceedingly well here except maybe Morrowind b/c it's first person.  Even then, it'd be too much for my system.  The other RPG's I have like Baldurs Gate or Diablo would work, but I'm not sure I'd like the joystick control over an isometric perspective as much.

Found another few games to try though:
System Shock 2
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (heh, imagine if you ever saw this in a real arcade)
Need for Speed High Stakes

Here's another thought... if you had a DVD player in your cab, could you play this D&D DVD adventure called "Scourge of Worlds" and have a similar experience as Dragon's Lair or some of the other "make-your-choice" laserdisc games?

endless possibilities...
