[Coco] CoCo3 games that use two buttons on the joystick?

[Bill Pierce]

Curtis, the OS9 version of Kumgai would not work with 2nd button unless it "undoes" the hard coded action of changing windows with the 2nd button, which by the way is one of the most limiting and "uncool" things ever done to OS9... a programmer can't even program the 2nd button for their own use. This means no "right click" context menus and options.
The cmds are there to read the button, but when pressed, it will go to the next open window.
This REALLY needs to be changed... or at least be "optional" with a shell cmd or graphics cmd.

I know of the following games that supported two buttons, off the top of my
head:
A Mazing World of Malcolm Mortar (cartridge from Radio Shack)
Contras
(Sundog)
Gantelet II (Diecom) - pretty sure it used the 2nd button for
potions.
Kyum-Gai: To Be Ninja (Sundog) - both the RS-DOS and OS-9 versions
Mine
Rescue (SRB)
Pacdude Monster Maze used the 2nd button to pause the game (not
sure if that counts)
Rampage (cartridge from Radio Shack)
Robocop (cartridge
from Radio Shack)
Roller Controller (Spectral)
Sinistaar (Sundog)
Super Pitfall
(cartridge from Radio Shack)


The Springster cartridge, and Warp Fighter 3-D
might have used both - can’t remember.
