Missile Command, classic cold war cope: make a game out of nuclear annihilation! Panic slapping the big ball trying to move the cursor. I don't even want to think about how many germs lived on that ball.
Man I'm used to the Atari version, having a trackball sounds like it'd be so much better than the joystick but at the same time I just know the sensitivity would've been ass
It definitely made it more chaotic but the trackball was a fun novelty. Arcade controls still have a cool appeal to me even with the same games available on home consoles. There's just something cooler about playing street fighter on an arcade cabinet.
it was a very heavy trackball, or at least on the machines i've played. kind of hard to control, but very impactful design choice.
