Contrary to what most people believe, Assault was the first game to make use of sprite scaling and massive sprite rotation, not Ordyne , which was released later in the year. Fact date February 2007 Description In Assault , the player controls a futuristic tank, attacking the surface forces of an alien environment. Assault nowiki nowiki s main draw was its innovative controls and perspective. The tank is controlled by two four way joysticks . The standard movements, such as forward and turn left , are executed in the same manner as with other tank games, such as Battlezone i.e. push both joysticks away for forward , pull the left joystick towards and push the right joystick away for turn left . But since the joysticks were four way, two other moves could be executed. Pushing both joysticks away from one another i.e. the left to the left and the right to the right caused the tank to rear up towards its back end for a moment. When in this position, the player could fire a lethal nuclear bomb nuclear blast instead of the standard shots when in the normal position. The tank returned to normal driving by pressing the joysticks back together, or by waiting a few seconds. If both joysticks were pushed right or left, the tank would roll or strafe to that direction. Another innovation with this game was the perspective. While the overhead perspective was not ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 Original research date February 2010 Image Kempston joystick interface.jpeg thumb 250px right Kempston joystick interface Image ZX Spectrum .jpg thumb 250px right Kempston Interface plugged into a Spectrum Plus The Kempston Interface , produced by Kempston Micro Electronics , was the generic name for any interface on Sinclair Research Ltd Sinclair s ZX Spectrum series of computers that allowed joystick s complying with the de facto Atari 2600 standard to be used with the machine. It was one of the most widely supported standards on the machine. The interface itself would be attached to the computer s rear expansion port with a single joystick port on the front or top of the system. It came out as the clear winner against other standards such as Protek s cursor based solution and the Fuller standard during the days of the 48K Spectrum. However, when Amstrad released the ZX Spectrum ZX Spectrum 2 ZX Spectrum 2 , the computer featured a built in joystick interface that was software compatible with Sinclair s ZX Interface 2 standard. Unfortunately, the bundled SJS 1 joystick was electrically incompatible with the Atari standard. The Interface 2 standard simulated keypresses on the numerical keys 1 5 and 6 0 being left, right, down, up, fire for the left and right joysticks respectively and hence were ideal for games with no official joystick support but in which the keys could be redefined. Problems had also been reported with the Kempston Interface breaking down on the newer models and it faded slowly into obscurity, although the option to use Kempston joysticks remained in games until the end of the computer s shelf life. hardware stub Category ZX Spectrum ru Kempston Interface ... more details
Infobox VG title Gotcha image File Vp4a front.png 250px developer Atari Atari Inc. publisher Atari Atari Inc. designer release 1973 in video gaming 1973 genre Maze game Maze modes Two player cabinet Upright arcade system display Raster graphics Raster , standard resolution input Joystick platforms Arcade game Arcade Gotcha is a 1973 arcade game manufactured by Atari Atari Inc. . It was Atari s fourth game after Pong , Space Race arcade game Space Race , and Pong Doubles . This was the first maze arcade game, as well as the very first video game to cause a considerable amount of controversy , predating other early examples such as Death Race 1976 game Death Race by several years. The object of the game is for two players to find their way through an on screen maze, attempting to catch each other. The controversy stemmed from the perception that the game s controls, rather than joystick s, were pink rubber bulges meant to represent breast s. The bulges were squeezed in order to control the action. This was done because some members of Atari jokingly mentioned that joysticks curiously resembled a phallus . As a result, it was decided to create a female game and this game was henceforth referred to as the boob game by company staff. Later versions of the cabinet replaced the controls with standard joysticks. The game was not well received by the public.

Ice Cold Beer is the name of a mechanical arcade game originally released by Taito in 1983. The game is in a similar cabinet to an arcade video game , but where the screen would normally be there is a vertical wooden playfield dotted with holes. Two joysticks on the control panel control the height of the two ends of a metal bar that moves up and down the playfield, with a ball bearing rolling back and forth on the bar. The playfield is an amber color, and the holes in the playfield are suggestive of bubbles rising in a mug of beer. The object of the game is to use the two joysticks to tip the bar back and forth and maneuver the ball up to a specific lit hole on the playfield, while avoiding unlit holes. When the player deposits the ball in the lit hole, the ball and the bar return to the bottom of the playfield, and the next target hole is lit. The game begins with the bottom most hole lit, and subsequent lit holes become more and more difficult to reach while avoiding unlit holes. Taito also released a family friendly version of the game in 1984 entitled Zeke s Peak , where the artwork of bubbles rising in a mug of beer was replaced by a mountain climbing theme. In 2006, Innovative Concepts in Entertainment ICE released a remake of the game with new artwork and a redemption game ticket dispenser .
