Assault- it's a fun tank shooter. Each stick represents a tread. So both forward makes you go forward, left stick forward makes you turn right, etc.

It can be found on PS1 namco museum 4. You can use the old PS1 analog twin stick on it.

By the way, awesome guide, CRTGamer! I've got 3 of those blaze sticks, should do something with them!

And if you want to go a "less than savory" route, CoinOPs for the X Box does utilize both analog sticks for smash TV, total carnage.

Thanks. THREE BLAZE TWIN SHOCKS!! :shock:

Oh yeah you really should do that mod, its real easy to do to gain the Twinstick possibilities. That Assault game for example is so much better with the modded Blaze.

You can try the unmodded approach first with the PS1 Williams Arcade Hits. Robotron is an arcade control perfect with the Blaze. A simple setting of the game menu to pick up Player Two Stick for the directional fire of Player One. :idea:

yup, three.

1. Found the first one at an electronics boutique when they first came out for 50 bucks. Didn't think twice, had to have it.

2. Found the 2nd one at the same store a few months later for 20 bucks. Didn't think twice, had to have it. Guess no one else shared my enthusiasm.

3. Found the 3rd one at a garage sale in the same town about a year later for 5 bucks. Didn't think twice, had to have it.

Sooooo...yeah...that pretty much explains why there's no room in my basement.
