Title: Most awesome one-floppy games playable with a 1-button joystick only
Post by: whabang on September 28, 2010, 06:37:49 PM

I'm doing some experimenting with a media PC and could use some advice on awesome games that com on one single disc, and that can be played with a one-button joystick (going to use the remote for control).

Speedball 2 is a given, as are the two first Lotus games.  Any other games I need in this collection? B)

Doesn't that describe nearly every platformer made?

Stunt Car Racer, Firepower

north and south needs the shift key to switch between units when in combat mode :)

That might be, but it's possible to finish it without ever touching the Shift key :)

R-Type (1 and 2)

I'm pretty sure these need a second button to control the power-up.

You can just hold down the button. It does play much nicer with a second button though

How on earth did this thread get so long without mention of Shadow of the Beast?

I think he was talking about "good" games.

SOTB is not a one disk game.

I'd have to play a platformer with a remote control! Something like populous or megalomania or sim city or settlers would be better. Can't multi-disk games be whdloaded or something?

SOTB isn't particularly good, either.

Qix and most all of the other Sega conversions.

Bubble Bobble too and Rambo III come to mind.
