I can't stand those nintendo cocktails. The midway cabs are what I was referring to. I dont know anyone who thinks the nintendo cocktails are comfortable to play on. |

From what you've written, it sounds like an upright is the way for you to go. Cocktails are just soooo much work to get just right. Wiring up a cocktail is just so complicated and involved and I have to get down on the floor to do all kinds of work on a cocktail. Yes, a really nice cocktail can blend into a livingroom a bit better than an upright but you sacrifice so much with a cocktail, if you only have 1-2 cabinets, stick with an upright so you have the greatest flexibility for controls and games. Cocktails have very small control panels with a very limited amount of space to put your controls, so you really need to get specific with a cocktail. Also, a cocktail trackball setup will not be good for playing golf or bowling games, since your hand will hit the cabinet on follow through. I have a trackball cocktail but it only plays Millipede. I am in the process of building (another) upright trackball mame for all the other trackball games I love. |
