I agree. Games that use buttons (Asteroids, etc.) translate fine to digital joysticks, but optical controls (Blasteroids) do not. You lose the ability to change the RATE at which you move which makes the game feel completely different.
: I think that Blasteroids sucks without a spinner, it is just to slow...
: But Asteroids and Space Dual with a joystick I find ok. Here in Europe I have seen in the past Asteroids with a joystick.

: : hey guys - i have a lil dilemma. blasteroids is one of my fave games ever, nice twist on asteroids with a few extras. But the dedicated game is hard to find and will probably be expensive and yadda yadda...
: : anybody out there played Blasteroids, or even Asteroids or Space Duel, with MAME and joysticks versus buttons(asteroids) or spinners (blasteroids) for rotation of your ship? how well does the right/left work for you?
: : cheers
