Rotating Arcade Game Control Set-Up Exposed

Posted by simoniker on from the round-and-round-and-round dept.

Ant writes "Over at the 1UpArcade site they've been making a rotating game controller, including a normal arcade stick, as well as '...a 3" trackball, a Discs Of Tron-style up/down spinner, and two 8-way trigger joysticks.. [and] a genuine Star Wars yoke', all in the same arcade cabinet." Other interesting projects on the page include replacement joystick handles for 'Tron' and hacking a Crayola Kidsball into a MAME cabinet as a trackball.

    Assuming that this remains the first post-

    None of my brethren (all of you) have posted ahead of me because when they click on the article (the few that might) they see the most ridiculous contraption imaginable.

    The project could have been done with super-glue, joysticks, and a bingo ball spinner.

    I don't like being negative (bad for your karma) but this one really is pointless.
