Had to push to fire and spin/turn dial to aim but not a "free" spinning dial... Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse! Optimist: Yes, it can! lamprey MAME Fan Reged: 12/01/11 Posts: 238 Send PM Re: Push-Pull spinner? [Re: Bad A Billy] #321419 - 02/04/14 07:20 AM Reply I'd say no because it was an 8-way rotary stick. You needed to push in the direction you wanted to move (just like the other rotary stick games). However, as you mentioned, you did have to push-down on the stick to fire. Bad A Billy Oop Ack!

[Re: lamprey] #321426 - 02/04/14 04:19 PM Attachment: frontlin.png 337 KB (0 downloads) Reply The stick was a regular 8way for movement. The dial rotated to aim & then was pushed to fire. It's just that the dial was not free spinning. It was notched, like an old TV channel changer button with 8 channels. That's what made the game so much more god awful hard to play. Trying to change stations and pushing while bullets & grenades came flying at you! A rotary (Ikari type) would have made it so much more enjoyable & easier. But you had to start somewhere to get to Ikari. It was a lesson well learned by Taito. [ATTACHED IMAGE] Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!

Apparently, under the covers the "spinner" is similar to a rotary. I'm not sure if this is helpful, but here is a link to one of the many discussions about it.. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=58653.0 Pages: 1
