Will the early SNK arcade games (ikari warriors, etc) that were programmed for the 8 way rotary arcade sticks work on a standard 8 way stick? Would the game still be playable?

Are you kidding?!?

If you can't rotate the gun you won't make ANY progress into this kind of games...

Yeah, you won't be able to play the game properly. I believe Happ sells replacement rotary sticks, though--not sure.

Keep in mind that the rotary optical won't work with SNK games...
