I don't have the optical paddles (that you twist to rotate the gun and press to fire), which are very hard to find. I have thought of the following alternatives:

1) A rotary optical joystick (for 8-way movements as well as gun rotation) and a normal pushbutton (to fire). Gameplay would then be similar to Ikari Warriors and the like...

2) An 8-way joystick with pushbutton on the top and a normal spinner.

I’m more inclined to go for the latter as it is closer to the original controls. Note that the game has autofire, so you don’t have to push the button every time you want to shoot (which would be uncomfortable and tiring within the 2nd possibility).

I’d like to know your opinions. Thanks.
