 While Japanese have created some great games... Lets not get too high and mighty.  Atari created some incredible original classics.  And look at Williams...  Defender, Robotron, and a bunch of other excellent classics.

what i said still stands true today. check some of the games you play now and you will see more than you think are made by non american companies.

heh fanboy no if im a fanboy of any time it would be fuedal japan not today. I never get on the fanboy wagons. I actually prefer a 500lb cabinet with the square layout cause thats what i played on in the arcades.  I state to the  best of my knowledge what i know to be facts if there wrong or dont fall inline with someone someone else says i dont care. I still enjoy the sound of a baud modem cause thats what i was used too before the internet was what it is today and you had to dial a computer in someone basement on a old 9600 baud modem to send messages or trade pics or play LORD.
the point is we all have our preferance. My statement wasnt to say "omg japan games rules u dam big eyed americans" it was a statement based on fact. i didnt know pac-man was a clone of puckman till i started to do the whole mame thing years ago.

Question for Xiaou2 - why do you delete the information who you are quoting? I find myself running up and down the page trying to figure out who said what.

The generic plastic cabinets of Japan are just that... Generic Crap.

 They are made to be light, easy to move, easy to swap kits in and out of.
 The monitors are too large, and too close..  and the control panels are too small for good comfort.
 The raised buttons (convex) are horrible feeling.
 The joysticks are nothing special.

...

The modern Japanese cabinets are not the true arcade experience.

...

The curved layout was probably a means to try to save control panel space

...

The problem is that your just a Fanboy of a certain time period.   Im Not.  Im a fan of good games... and that means, any time period.  Im not hung up on ego, which is exactly why your panties are all in a bunch.

...

You simply are Not understanding all the issues involved.

PS -- curved button layouts take up MORE space on a CP.  ::)
