Games supporting 2 (ie. independent) fire buttons?

As its title doesn't indicate, the aim of this thread is to try and catalog Amiga games with MULTI-buttons support as /exhaustively/ as possible! Which means not limiting to ANY criteria, like "2 buttons support" (3, or indeed even 4 buttons support also exist and is of equal interest), "Native/original support" (WHDLoad or any late mod/hacks are referenced too — WHDL in fact forms the vast majority of multi-buttons controller support, along with CD32 versions).
So any kind of patch, Amiga config, or controller is relevant (specifics will of course be stated). The point here is not historical accuracy or anything, but to list what games can actually be experienced with more than the traditional single button gameplay TODAY.

Only exception to this I can think of, and would personally tend to acknowledge as legitimate, being: "Original hardware only"! Meaning any game listed should support multi-buttons on a REAL Amiga machine. After all, provided your controller is properly handled by the OS, WinUAE allows to remap any of your user input devices buttons to perform any given function(s) a particular game provides — regardless of what controllers that game itself supports.
In practice this extensive, flexible (and absolutely brilliant!) remapping feature means any Amiga game under WinUAE emulation can ALREADY support any controller, and have its function(s) handled any way the player likes, with only a minimum of fiddling around with the interface (and the notions of physical/logical/virtual/emulated/etc. control).
Therefore, what benefit multi-buttons support feature for any game provides is only 2 things: 1- No need to even bother with remapping anything when playing under WinUAE, but much more importantly 2- experiencing a game with more than the usual one button on our real beloved machine!



As a follow-up of sorts to this thread, it seemed like a good idea to come ask the community's help in listing as many Amiga games as possible with support for more than 1 button.
So here we go folks: if you know of any particular game(s) fitting that bill, please share your valuable knowledge below!

(Note: some indications on how to properly read the list to be found at the end)

Notes:
- Was 196 entries. 118 added, current total: 314
- "CD32 only" refers to game version (which can be played on other hardware — typically A1200), not console.
- The CD32 pad should work on all Amiga models.
- Even games only supporting 1/2 buttons usually read a 3rd same as [PLAY] on the CD32 pad (many map it to "Pause" by default). This is most likely due to the output being the same as both the CD32 pad [PLAY] button and the middle mouse button on Amiga.



Some links of interest:
Solo Kazuki's page on polish PPA website. His list is still currently more comprehensive than the one here on EAB. I'll be working to catch up in the following weeks though.
Solo Kazuki contributed at the very least triple as much as anyone else to make this list grow and reach its current length! Much kudos to him for it!
GoogleDocs Page List includes info from this thread.
This page uses the above list (or at least an old and very incomplete version thereof) -- very useful wiki tutorial to mod your classic 2/multi physical buttons digital joystick(s) into 2 logical buttons one!

Nice list for a start (all are pretty excellent games too!).

Was never aware that any of the Turrican games did propose the support!!! (Even though I owned a couple of 2 button sticks back in the days). I'll try that ASAP in WinUAE!! thx for the tip R-N!

(EDIT: Ok, after trying it again with 2 buttons mapped in WUAE I realized I _was_ aware of the support in Turrican! ^^ I just forgot about it though...)


Any others, people?

I like Core. Twas always a favourite company of mine as I enjoyed many of their products and thought they often proved very well done in terms of production and gameplay. I never realized the 2 buttons support was a common feature of their games though.
Here's one more reason for me to praise them I guess! ^^

I suppose both (at least my interest in asking the question was more about ideas of what games to play than purely /historical/). Although if you can remember which is which you might as well put it as a sidenote...

Thanks for your contributing BTW! That the original R-Type did support this comes once again as a total surprise to me... I got my 2 separate buttons joysticks rather late and I guess I just skipped playing many among the older games of my collection using them.
Never too late to fix that though!

Giana sisters, really?
Could you be more specific? I can't even start to figure out what the 2nd button could be used for...

Right, Thx CyberDruid. That refered to the WHDLoad version again (I still don't have the reflex to try these, ha ha).

Mmmh, technically this is 2nd button support indeed, albeit not a very exciting one (AFAI'm concerned) since it maps an action (jump) already available anyway with the UP direction on the stick.
That may be of interest for console gamers. I've personally always hated using a button to jump in any game (and invariably remap this function to UP direction where available), it just doesn't feel as much natural as merely pushing the stick up to perform.

Found another...

Apparently Puggsy (platformer from Psygnosis) not only supports 2 buttons but they are indeed required to play it properly.

Another question: What Amiga-compatible joysticks have two independent mouse buttons?

This one http://segaretro.org/File:QS128F.jpg

But any Master, Mega Drive, or CD32 controller would do as well.

The one I use here is switchable between 1 and 2 button modes.

It's the QuickShot Python and it has a turbo-fire switch too. There's a love/hate thread about them here on EAB, but I can't see anything wrong with the ones I have, I own four of them and they all work perfectly and feel great to handle.

Here's the thread about them: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=37133

Oh, my bad. I remember using my Mega Drive Arcade stick with a few Amiga games, that supported 2 buttons, but was probably more luck, than anything else, then
