Never played the one using the trackballs. Every one I've ever seen used the buttons. Which is better? I love this game but can't seem to find one for a decent price around here.

The trackball version is the equivalent of having rapid fire and shields on galaga.
stupid
 
Yea, I see the trackball versions on ebay all the time. I take it the Trackball types came after the button versions? Anyone know why they even made a trackball version?

I played the tb version for the 1st time a few weeks back at Flashbacks in Seaside Heights, NJ. Tore up my hands something fierce. Still have scarring, stick with the buttons.

It was because of people using pencils and electric toothbrushes to get massive speed and playing games for a long time and yes I was guilty

The thing that always bothered me about that was that it didn't hurt revenue as much as a kid who could play Defender for 24 hours straight. Sure, you stayed in the game until the end, but T&F **has** an end!:004_ssleepy:

Not unless the operators had that dipswitch selected I played mine to a million once

Downloaded the T&F game for XBL. Some of the World Records are out there. Wonder if its a bug that is in the actual arcade version. For the 100 meter run the World Record I think is 00.02. Hammer Throw is 99.73. Cheating for sure. Just wondering if this was possible on the Arcade Machine?
