I'm trying to figure out which arcade games used potentiometers as the spinner.
Not games that used a free-rotating spinner such as Tempest.
I found some lists of "spinner" games but does anyone know off the top of their head which ones used potentiometers? (2 obvious ones, Warlords and Star Wars)
--------Used Pots------
Warlords
Star Wars (yoke)
Road Blasters (yoke)
Paper Boy (handle bars)
Lunar Lander (thruster)
Super Sprint (gas pedal)
Stun Runner
Food Fight (stick)
Omega Race
Breakout
Super Breakout
PONG
Red Baron (Gimbal)
Off the Wall
Sea Wolf
Exidy Circus
-----Did not use pots------
Arkanoid
Arkanoid Revenge of Doh
Puchi Carat
Ghox
Major Havoc
Tempest
-------Did any of these use Pots as the paddle/spinner?-----------
- Block Block
- Bomb Bee
- Cutie Q
- Destroyer
- Field Goal
- Fire One
- Free Kick
- Gigas
- Goindol
- Kick
- Riddle of Pythagoras
- Sea Wolf II
- Up Scope
- Wall Crash
BLASTEROIDS
CAMELTRY
Wacko
