oh man, I know this. thinking, thinking.......

I am pretty sure about the two buttons... MIGHT be just one button. Regardless, you should be able to guess based on the track ball and game description.

Commando?

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

will a screen shot be too obvious of a hint?

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

You must be one with the track ball if you are to survive the onslaught of your enemies.

 

[SoylentGreen]

Since it could be more than one
Time Soldiers
T.N.K.
Midnight Resistance
Ikari Warriors
Ikari III

You sure that's a trackball game? That looks like you'd use a gun.

Didn't test them all out since I'm at work and all I need is for someone to walk by my office and hear me playing Defender.
