| Which instruction cards would you squeeze onto your cab if you had a little room |
| (1/1) |

I have a 4"x30.5" area set aside for swappable instruction cards on my cab. After the cab is finished, I want to make move lists for the fighting games, but until then I'd like to make a default one that incorporates a variety of games. Right now, I can only think of sports games: NFL Blitz NBA Jam NHL 2on2 Open Ice I'm picturing the game's logo, then three buttons next to it with labels showing what they do. So those won't take up much room. I'm having trouble thinking of more. One or two button games don't really require an explanation. Fighting games should probably have full move lists. Maybe I'll include them and just list what the buttons do. I forget sometimes on games not in the SF or MK family. What other games would you put on there to remind yourself of the controls? (MAME, Model 2, Model3, NAOMI, Taito Type X, whatever....) |

LED buttons, only active buttons lit. It takes just a few seconds to figure out what button does what. If fighting games are played frequently, keep a printed moves list in a binder nearby. I've got the "instruction card" printed on my Arkanoid CPO. Nobody has ever bothered reading it. My Gorf has instructions/tips printed on the CP. Nobody has ever bothered reading it. My skeeball machine has a stock instruction/pricing sticker on how to start the game. Nobody has ever bothered reading it. My pin has instruction cards. Nobody has ever bothered reading them. |

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out the instruction cards for the games mentioned and see if I'd like to incorporate. This cab is a bit different (although I did ask what YOU would have :) ). I already have a setup with an x-arcade that guests beat up on. This one is just for me and as part of that I'm refusing to put user-friendliness for guests ahead of what I personally want. I know the sports games use 3 buttons, but for some reason can't figure them out until minutes into the game and never remember them for the next time. Having the 3 buttons illuminated wouldn't make any difference. turbo/pass/jump labels in the CP that are illuminated when the game is active would be nice, but I'd like to finish the rest of the cab first. This one is arcade only, although with SFIVAE, SFxTekken, & Mortal Kombat Komplete, I'm considering adding a PC games list. The first two games are already on the cab, but not listed in the front-end. |
