The Ikari warriors controllers have detents(sp?) like an old fashioned
channel selector on a TV. It's not exactly the same as a true
paddle/stick combo.
The most famous console to feature a paddle/stick combo is the Astrocade,
which uses a small knob controller on top of a pistol-grip base. It
worked well. The Astrocade had 4 controller ports, BTW.
