In Reply to: Software support of two spinners... posted by slube on July 19, 1999 at 20:47:44:

Well, I went on over to the official Arcade 2000 page, and was glad to see that indeed there will be a standalone two-spinner control for playing Pong which is way cool. The only thing that I would add, for perhaps a deluxe version, is a trigger stick, such as the Heavy Duty 8-Way
Trigger Joystick from Happ, and put it right between the two spinners. Why? This would make the ultimate Tron and Discs of Tron control! Anybody playing it with a mouse and keyboard probably appreciates how difficult it is, as you have to be doing three things at once. I wonder how much this would add to the cost? At least $100, as that's the cost of the stick from Happ. I'm going to try the poor man's version, the Wingman Warrior (thanks for the tip, Tom61!), which was supposed to be for 3-d shooters, but looks like it might also work for this. I've read varying reviews of it, but depending on how the spinner works, perhaps it would also be good for games such as the sprint series.
