Re: Cinematronics multigame?

It would be cool to have space wars as the "standard" for the multigame,
except for the fact that a space wars cabinet is HUGE and hard to come by.
(I don't think I will ever be able to get my space wars game into my
basement, or even in the house for that matter)

Probably the most common cinematronics game out there is star castle. With
a control panel swap with ripoff or armor attack, or build your own, you
could have a nice starting place for a multi game.

How hard would it be to add an analog joystick to the middle of the panel.
You have to have tail gunner to have a real multigame.
Also, anybody up for tweaking the code in Armor Attack to draw the
barriers, so we don't HAVE to have the overlay to play.
