LOL, somehow that title sounds dirty, but it was unintentional. I was cruising the inter webs and came across this video of someone playing Robotron with a ginormous joystick. It looks like they have it set up to run and shoot at the same time in order to get around having only one joystick. It's kind of cool how it blinks and changes colors to the sounds.

 
yeah, i played that at cax. that's where the video was from. satan's hollow was fun too. made me feel like i was in joysticks, with me, jeri, and dorfus there playing.
 
back in the 90s when I played robotron on the computer I used only one joystick. I used a microsoft joystick that was programmable which had a secondary thumb joystick I used for firing. It was a lot harder than using two joysticks imho....

No kidding....

The whole purpose of Robotron is shoot while running AWAY from the enemy.

Having to run towards to enemy to shoot is just plain stoooooopid !

You didn't understand was I was talking about. With the thumb joystick you could fire in the opposite direction you were moving the big joystick.
