Spinners were a type of control mechanism used in classic arcade games that involved rotating a wheel or knob to control movements or actions within the game. Some examples of classic arcade games that utilized spinners include Tempest, Arkanoid (also known as Breakout), Pong variations (like Quadrapong or Warlords), Tron (specifically for certain mini-games), Missile Command trackball spinner edition, Marble Madness (for steering the marble), and Centipede/Millipede cabinet versions with trackballs acting as spinners. Spinners added an extra dimension of gameplay interaction and were particularly prominent during the golden age of arcades in the late 1970s through the mid-1980s.
