I've been trying to find an upright original arkanoid conversion for a while now. I noticed a really good local deal on a 60-in-1 Multicade machine. It's a CRT with no burn-in, and it's got a CP with one joystick, 3 game buttons, a trackball, and two player buttons (see pic). I'm guessing it's JAMMA inside. I have an original Arkanoid optical spinner sitting in box that came out of an old original arkanoid conversion and was working fine. The questions are:
- is it likely the original arkanoid spinner will connect adapt wihtout too much trouble?
- if it does is there a concensus on how well/faithfully this might play arkanoid that way?
I was an arkanoid insaniac playing it in the mid-90's in the arcade and am just trying to get something setup that pretty faithfully reproduces the look/feel of playing the original arcade conversion.
In this case I would consider putting the spinner where the green button is (center of the panel) since I always played it with my right hand on the spinner and left hand on the fire button..
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
