I have a Galaxian cabinet with 48-in-1 multiboard. My original 4-way joystick needs to be replaced. Should I go back with a 4-way or 8-way. Are there any drawbacks to using the 8-way.

Thanks in advance for the help.
 
stick with the four way. I think there's only one or two games that use 8-way on there. Playing pacman with an 8-way is the worst.
 
A few of the games that'll be tough to play with a 4-way are 1942, 1943, Bomb Jack, Centipede (sucks without a trackball anyway), Gaplus, Gyruss, Scramble, Super Cobra, Time Pilot, Xevious, and Zaxxon. Some of the above might be alright, but I know Gaplus and Scramble/Super Cobra will be hard without an 8-way. Just figured I'd put that out there in case some of those are your favorites :)
