The Hardest Video Games Ever

Twin stick shooters were the shiz back in the day!

Absolutely 💯

Sinistar doesn't emulate well because the actual game used a 49-direction optical joystick for more accurate control

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks

Wait minute, a 49-directional optical joystick?! Damn, that's impressive, even in 2024.

[@riversarcadereview385]

@@bruhbruhbruh645 - the reason it is 49 is because there are 8 actual directions although each of the directions have 6 speeds based on how far you push the joystick which equals 48 positions and at rest or zero which adds one for 49
