What games support push pull spinner?
mark6437:
I know about Discs of Tron but were there any other games that support the push pull?
I am asking because I am about to hand over this arcade I have been building for a friend and I want to be able to tell him what games he can use it on.
Thx
Mark

I'm still in the planning stages of building my first cabinet. What I can't seem to confirm anywhere, but I seem to remember, is that Front Line used a spinner that utilized PUSH, but not pull. I'm told that a push/pull spinner would work for that.
With that info, I pose these questions, as Discs of Tron and Front Line are 2 games that I really want to be able to play.
1) Will a push/pull spinner work with Front Line? I wouldn't have to pull it back into position, would I? I really don't remember the mechanism..
2) Which would be the front running push/pull spinner that would allow me to play DoT, Front Line and also the likes of Arkanoid, Tempest.
3) I'm imagining that I could play certain driving games with the spinner...(Super Sprint, Off Road, etc). Is this feasible? This would most likely be the only reason I would contemplate adding 2 spinners to my CP.
Thanks in advance!!

Oh, and a bonus question....has anyone played Shuffleshot with a trackball? It looks to be the main reason I'm adding a trackball as I'm not huge on golf and could live without centipede & marble madness. I think bowling games and possibly this Shuffleshot would be lots of fun.

Wow ShuffleShot, COOL, never heard of it. I will be installing that tonight.
I got this spinner, http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=311
It is the Turbo Twist push/pull spinner
You do not have to pull it back into position, it is on a spring. I like it alot.

p.s. I am not sure about FrontLine, will install and let you know.
RayB:
Front Line's push was to use it like a button; you'd aim with the dial, and push down to shoot, and another button to grenade (which was annoying because it forced you to stop shooting/aiming and move your hand over to the button).
You could probably get away with using a trigger stick and normal spinner.
And by the way, Front Line's "spinner" was actually an 8-position dial.
Forgotten Worlds uses push-down spinner, and Zwackery uses the full up/down.

I have ShuffleShot on my cab and I play it with a trackball. It's pretty fun with a group of people and some drinks. Also check out World Class Bowling.
I'm not a golf fan either, but I put Golden Tee 3D on my cab and it's actually kind of fun to play. All these games are great party games.
