Which games would have been/would be better with a Spinner?

I was playing Tempest this morning and just noticed how cool this particular controller feels and sounds. What games would have been better with a Spinner? My choices:

-Asteroids/ Deluxe
-Tetris
-Tapper
 
I would submit that anything with either left and right buttons only for controls or a left/right joystick would be better with a spinner.

You mean like Galaxian, Moon Patrol and Defender? They would blow with a spinner IMO. So would Space Invaders.
 
Like Galaxian, yes. I agree Moon Patrol would not work with a spinner. Defender has an up/down joystick genius.

Why are you always so mean to me? I guess I was thinking 2-way Joys. Well, maybe Mario Bros would be better with a spinner. I see what you mean.

But they would play sweet with a roller! Think of the space battle stages in Major Havoc.

Star Castle might be good with a spinner as well.

I am sure Joust would also ROCK with a spinner. Spin whilst flapping. Sav, I think you are really onto something here.

I don't know, why do you always make gay jokes? Games where moving L/R more quickly would be advantageous, but definitely not all of them as you pointed out.
 
I think most of the Star Trek games....
