Arcade (action) games with keyboard controls

[Lord Aga]

So... what arcade (action) games can I play without a joystick ?
As far as I remember, Fury of the Furries could be played with keyboard. I can't seem to manage the hard drive installation of it though, but that is another matter
Prehistorik plays just fine with cursor+space.

Can you tell me some more games ?

Thanx Cammy
I wonder why double controls weren't a standard on Amiga. Great majority of (arcade) games are joystick only.

Mousetrap!
p.s. Buy a joystick. :razz:

I have a joystick, but my A600 suffers from the dreaded UP = UP+LEFT disease So I can not play anything that uses the joystick port. That leaves me with mouse controlled games (heaps of adventures), keyboard controlled ones (very few arcades) and combination (EOB-like games and such).

I think more games should have supported keyboard controls, it's a shame most didn't. All the games I have been making have keyboard, joystick and control pad support.

True. I don't know why it was so hard to map the keyboard controls in addition to joystick ones. After doing the heavy coding for engine, AI, graphics and sound, those keyboard controls seem like a 5 min work.
Thank you Cammy for developing games in a logical way

Well, so far we have:
FOTF
Prehistorik
Speris Legacy
Mousetrap
Jurassic Park
Pacmania

And I've just rememberd all the pinball games Those are keyboard controlled.

It's hard to believe but I've never played Walker !
Shame on me, I know
But now it's one more game I can play

Don't ever throw ur sick A600 away.  u can always donate to someone else for spare parts.

Wouldn't dream of ditching it
In fact, there is still hope. Research tells me that it may not actually be a hardware fault. Just a need for better PSU since my A600 is kinda beefed up.
Also, maybe some small IC needs to be changed. When I reinforce my funds a bit I will delve deeper into it.

And even if there is nothing that can be done, it is still a pretty damn good developer machine for Amos coding I always have my A500 and A1200 to test the joystick stuff...

Also, my A600 is snowy white, like it has just come off of a production line. No chance in hell I would throw away such beauty

On the top of everything, I have (finally) managed to install Fury of the Furries. Furries are keyboard controlled and on their own are enough fun to last me a lifetime
