This week on Shack's Arcade Corner we take a look at Midnight Resistance. The arcade cabinet was a side-scrolling action shooting game produced by Data East in 1989. It was ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991 as Data East's first video game for the console. The game featured a very unique joystick knob and some weapons upgrades that were pretty innovative at the time. Check out this video to find out more about Midnight Resistance.

Not to blow up your spot but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNK_III (1985), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikari_Warriors (1986)
"Ikari Warriors was the first popular video game to use rotary joysticks: those which could be rotated in addition to being pushed in eight directions (TNK III, released in 1985, also from SNK, was the first to use such joysticks)."
Also the sequel Victory Road in 1986 and Time Soldiers in 1987. And I want to say there's one more.
