Not that I have a chance of finding one, but, if I ever do, is there a list somewhere? Or, was it just manufactured for one particular game?

I know all the Arkanoids use it, and afaik Pucchi Carat does too.

That's cool, I did some Googling and found out that the controller was made for Pucchi Carat. So, you can use this with Arkanoid Returns? That's awesome!

I think the controller actually came out for the Namco Museum collection (whichever one features the first Arkanoid). Since it's a Namco controller, and Pucchi Charat is a Taito game.

I think its no2. Arkanoid is not namco either, its taito as well.

The mystery game continues.

Ack! You're right of course! How could I forget Arkanoid is a Taito game!?

After some research, I think the original Namco collection paddle game is the relatively obscure Cutie Q.

I actually found an original Namco dial controller in Akihabara a month ago. Like Dave, I've been looking for one for ages. Best of all, it cost me like 6 dollars, so bonus!

I also have the controller from Puchi Carat and it's a good alternative until you can find the real deal. Puchi Carat can be found cheap on European eBay auctions.

Namco controller on the left, no name Puchi Carat controller on the right.

You can use the Namco rotatary knob controller with the USA PSX versions of Super Breakout, Tempest, and even TempestX3 games... ^_~

Sweeet!

So, I wonder if the no-name Puchi Carat controller would work with those games?

I haven't tested those specific games, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
