Astounding, the fervor for an Asteroids button layout
Xiaou2:
I also have an Asteroids Deluxe.
Initially I didnt like the button layout. Most especially the Shield button, which is hard to reach quickly.
But after some consecutive time with the machine, Ive gotten used to it, and wouldnt have it any other way. If the shield button was closer, you might accidentally hit it too often... and in that game, shields are very limited. It also adds a little more challenge to the game, which makes it even more intense and fun.

I don't even bother using the shield 99% of the time because by the time I get my thumb over there I'm dead.
TOK:
The Asteroids layout makes total sense to me. The spinner layout doesn't!

"so what do all these buttons do?"
well if you want to play regular games you use this, if you want to play asteroids, you suse this, if you want to play spinenr games you use this, if you want to play..."
"Uh, thanks... where's the beer?"

Thats about how it goes. I make my games as simple as possible which usually results in less games that can be played but a more enjoyable experience with the games that are there.
