> Which games would make you want to walk out with it?

Tempest.  Omega Race.  (But it needs a good spinner knob; buttons to
turn each way are *not* an acceptable substitute.)

> Which games would turn you on, but not enough to buy it right away?

Unfortunately most of them I can't recall the names of.  The only names
I can recall offhand are Time Pilot, Bump & Jump, Sinistar, Defender.
There's a tank game I quite liked, but it too has control problems; it
needs two joysticks, one for each hand, with a trigger in at least one
of them.

> Which games would turn you off?

Chop-sockies.  Driving games.  Shooting games.
