never cared aboot ho12rizontal to vertical games and i think you can switch a spinner for a trackball and it's fine my me. I also really don't care aboot a 8-4 way controls but I don't think i play many of those games anyway.
The real issue is 593,000 games and honestly you only end up playing a handfull.
Torw mine down years ago for more pin space. Been thinking aboot putting on together at some point though.
