| Six player cab? |
| << < (2/3) > >> |

Yeah, unless these children enjoy playing the same game over and over again, they're going to get board with only playing X-Men on a machine that theoretically has many many more choices. That's why I suggest saving the space and money needed for the 6-player cab and making two cabs and interfacing them for that once in a while "X-Men" session (maybe even three 2-player bartops). Other than that, maybe just use USB game pads instead. IMO, I think you might regret spending the money just for the one game down the road. |

That's pretty much what I wanted to confirm, which is to say that there really aren't any 6 player games besides X-MEN. So I'll stick to four player for this build. |

I say, build whatever you want.. and dont let anyone else dissuade you. If you get a 37" or larger widescreen lcd, you should have plenty of screen for the game... and additionally, will play many other great widescreen games much better, such as TX-1, many of the Darious games, and even the 2player driving games. 4 player games will also be more comfortable to play, due to the extra space of the CP. If you do make it... make sure that you make a way to fit it thru doors. Detachable control panels, possibly multi-part cabinets that come apart. |

I agree with everyone else said, X-Men is the only 6 player game available (I think). Its not worth it for one game, a 4 player cabinet would get more use. A 30 or 40 inch monitor would be ideal if you were going the 4 player cabinet route. |

Well the initial design would be Showcase/podium in nature with three parts all detachable. The control panel/TV enclosure would also be detachable so doors won't be an issue.. Additionally I'd be looking at a 47inch~ TV on a round swivel so it can go vertical/Horizontal with the flick of a wrist. Best buy has floor model 47 inch TV's here in WI for 300-400 bucks so it's a no brainer. It's not a true arcade monitor but it's multipurpose which is how I build all of my machines. Thanks for all the feedback. Really I just wanted to confirm that there aren't any other action oriented games that are 6 payers. For X-MEN alone I would not build a 6 player but if there were more 6 player games I would. |
