Comprehensive List: No-Button Games

Well can we assume that all games that start up with the button can also be started up by the reset button?

Not exactly... Breakout and Super Breakout use the Reset button to start the game, but then once you're in the game, you have to press the button to "serve" the ball. Pressing Reset again would start the game over, but it doesn't start the ball moving.

 

Also, after you get killed, you have to press the button to start your next ball.

 

Actually, I wouldn't include Breakout or Super Breakout on the list at all, for this reason. It's not my list, though...

I was going to suggest Video Olympics/Pong Sports, but didn't for the same reason.

No, no no.

 

You've got it all wrong.

 

You should do something interesting like "Only button games".

And there's only one I can think of.... and that's Pressure Gauge.

That's why I'm proud. One button of input, one thousand times pushing the reset button for more!

 

Or, was there another "only-button game" that beat me to it?

Bumper Bash is an only button game, though you end up using two buttons.

I'm working on a button-only game, although you tilt the joystick up to get past the "level #" screen, so I think that counts because I had to program it that way.
