Note: For some reason a couple games appear in various lists that do not actually support paddles - one reason could be that you can play them with just joystick left / right (eg Kickman), which corrosponds to the two buttons at a paddle pair. Sometimes also different versions/releases of the same game existed. Please let us know if you spot such mistakes.
