In all the recent discussions about rotary encoders, I don't think I ever
saw anyone mention Cinematronics. The reason this comes to mind now, sev-
eral weeks later, is that I just started work on connecting a Boxing Bugs
board set to my Cosmic Chasm. Both of which use rotary encoders, neither
of which were mentioned above.

Has anyone checked into these games yet? I'm hoping they take a straight
quad. input and work with each others control panels.

Cheers,
Mark
