Was America nonchalant about Amiga arcade gaming?

I remember when Street Fighter 2 (first one) came out on my Amiga.  We would play 2 player, but you had to switch floppies constantly!!  

My friend got it for his SNES and we stopped playing the Amiga one for obvious reasons.

I remember using up to jump in Turrican with my one-button joystick.

What we did was take a Sega Genesis controllers and then solder two wires from the UP connectors to the the third "C" button it had that Amiga didn't use.

Up still worked as normal, but pressing "C" was now a "Jump" button too.


This made most all Amiga games way more playable.

DO NOT USE THE C BUTTON!!! This is Fire 2 on the Amiga and is used by many games! If you are going to assign a button to be used as the UP direction for your games, please use A!

Maybe it was A.  Still have the joystick (it's a Quickshot for the Genesis) but haven't used it in a long time.  

But, yeah, A was "jump", B and C were Fire1 and Fire2 or how ever it worked out.  Yeah, modding "UP" to a Fire button would be bad!!  :-)  Well it might be interesting anyway.

I always remember having the 2 normal fire buttons though on my joystick/pads.  People that were using 1 button controllers must had those left over from their C64's ;-)
