9 buttons per player ...

UFO:

... oh and a steering wheel each!

This been on here before?



CoryBee:

Yea, it is a monstrosity

DaveMMR:

Someone worked hard on this... and obviously stopped short of painting the thing (those rainbow LED case fans will make up for that lack of color I'm sure.) It's a shame because it tries to do everything and seems to end up doing it poorly. You have to reach over a bunch of gratuitous steering wheels to play Streets of Rage? Pass. 

And the keyboard drawer slides out at the push of a button. Cool. And completely pointless. How usable is a vertically oriented keyboard that to the left and behind the display? That's time and money that could have been spent on a couple of coats of paint.

And, of course, the cherry on top: angled joysticks.

Eh, the builder's proud of it so to each his own I suppose. Not a design I would recommend anyone copying though...  :dunno

I couldn't deal with that.  I need at least 14 buttons per player for accurate Colecovision emulation.   :soapbox:

Seriously though in some weird way I kinda really like this thing, and as much as you can like something you wouldn't want within 500 yards of your house.

Yea, you just can't have a driving setup and control panel in one without it looking terrible and getting in the way. If you go that route you might as well make a dedicated driving machine with pedals/shifter and everything. Then build a regular control panel cabinet next to it.
