My Mame Cabinet Project (Cocktail Table Style)
<< < (3/5) > >>
Donkbaca:
As far as I know a 4 player cocktail has never been done, and for good reason, its hard to position 4 chairs around a small screen like that in a way that makes sense.

Full disclosure though; I think most 4 player cabs are a waste, as generally most people will rarely have 3 other people that will regularly play games.

Warlords +1, but that is sort of a special case...

My Next Plans
1. I've decided I'm going to need to prototype it first (position bare wood controls around a monitor at the proposed cabinet spacing).  That means I'll finally have to make a decision about button colors.  I'm also making plans to visit my friend with a 19" 2 player cabinet (with way too few buttons....  we are talking like only 3!!! ;-) ) this weekend to think about this some more.

2. I'm also entertaining the idea of having an extra monitor output so I can hook it up to the HDTV on occasion.  I'll have to verify that my HDTV can handle a variety of resolutions first (not holding my breath)...

As an aside, I'm guessing that when I have a fair amount of people over and the mame is in play I'll often have at least 3 on it (I'd expect that to happen around half a dozen times a year).  I could see NBA Jam as a 3 to 4 player favorite, along with TMNT, Final Fight, etc... (whatever you call that genre).

Thinking about grabbing these buttons.

I'm thinking something like 8xBlue, Red, Purple, 4xPlayer buttons for 28 total (would cost me $56 including shipping).  I'm gonna do a bit of research before pulling the trigger.
