Can someone tell me if the Timber joysticks are 4 or 8 way? Mine only move left, right, up, and down. It would seem to me that they should move the guy diagonal too but they don't. I have not played this since I was 16 years old! Thanks
 
Don't own a timber but it uses the same joystick that ms pac uses which is a 4 way. Now if you want to open the can of worms that is the tron 4 vs 8 way discussion I suppose the switches may be able to be tweaked so the actuator could hit two switches at once which could allow the stick to work as an 8 way if the game is programmed to do so. According to the klov archives which is not always correct, it's a 4 way game.

isn't there a plastic restrictor in the pacman joystick to make it 4 or 8 way???

Timber is 4 way with a 2 way chop.
 
Yep, 4 way with 2 way chop.
Wish I had a Timber badly. I scored 2.5MM on MAME (could have been much more but had to kill off about 10 guys because we were leaving for my son's birthday party), just waiting for Twin Galaxies verification. Love me some Timber! :)
 
Well, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll have to find some time to up my score.

You should submit your score to MARP so I can check it out without having to wait on TG.

I've got a 732k 5 man score waiting to be verified. You should give the TGTS settings a try.

It's nice to see Timber getting some love.

I've never used MARP before, I'll have to check it out. I have a 670k TGTS score waiting to be verified. Guess I'll have to work on that one as well. :)
