Now that Road Blaster is out for iOS, any got control panel pics of original cab?
Data East's Road Blaster is now out on iOS and I got it for a buck and enjoy it a lot.

My only beef is there's no tutorial nor any indication how you use the controls. I mean, steering is obvious but when to shift up or down was largely guess work for me.
So I had a look at the Arcade Museum entry for the original coin op hoping to get a clear look at the control panel.

I see a Tron/Gorf-like joystick and two buttons but can't make out what the buttons are for. Anyone know?
I also see there is an eBay listing on the same page where it appears the current cab for auction has a Star Wars type yoke controller. I am guessing it was a conversion? That still doesn't tell me what all the controls are though.
For the iOS game you steer left and right, push the gear shift up to ... I dunno ... use turbo I guess you would say ... and you pull the gear shift down to brake/slow down. So far that's all I have been able to determine.
It's pretty good though and for a buck (limited time offer) you can't go wrong. Then again this is coming from a huge Cobra Command fan so take what I say with a grain of salt.
