saurian333: Good Point! I didn't think of that initially. ???
An option to restore the 2P simultaneous gameplay would be to add another SPDT switch to the mix.
This would be on the ground (common) connection for both joysticks directional switches.
One position of the switch would allow for normal Player 1 & Player 2 joystick input.
Flip the switch to the other position, and the ground connection would run the SPDT switch scenario described above.
Some extra wiring would be needed, but this option *could* and should work. :)
Best option is as you suggested though - just play 'hotseat' and trust your buddy won't move the joystick when it's your turn. ;D

Hrm? lol
By "hotseat," I mean you switch seats when your turn comes around. Don't have to worry about the moving joystick thing.
I honestly think that's the best option, unless you're on a cocktail as mentioned earlier.
