Some games you need a spinner knob. Tempest with a joystick or D-Pad is just hard, not fun. I have often contemplated what Asteroids or Star Castle might be like with a spinner knob.
- CrLf 166 days agoIn the case of Asteroids (never tried Star Castle) none of the emulators that I'm using allow using a spinner.
