I've been playing Timber a bit lately on Mame. When I say I've been playing on Mame, I mean on my laptop, not in a Mame cabinet. We're talking arrow keys to move and alt and ctrl to "chop". The game is still fun this way, but I'm thinking would be way more fun with a setup more like the arcade.
My question here is about how the Timber control panel worked. I never played this game in person back in the day or now. I've seen pictures, though. It looks to me like there is a 4-way joystick to move the guy around the screen and then a two way joystick labeled "chop" which I guessing the player pushed left to chop left and right to chop right. Of course Timber could be a 2 player game, so there is an identical setup on each side.
Can any Timber owners help me out here with some info? I'm sure what I'm going to do yet. Maybe try to find a Timber control panel or maybe build my own (after Christmas). We'll see.
