Tempest does have rounded corners.
I think it's the CP part. The bottom angle, need to be brought in more, then a line straight down, then drawn to the back. May have to lengthen the base so it wont tip over.

Good call. I think with a bit of a redesign (I don't think I'd continue the base as it is - I'd 'cut' just below the CP section) that we could have a winner. I do see what you mean, with the base of the CP being a much more 'extreme' angle!

Personal Preference: bartop's should only be 1 player. The cabs are smaller, easier to place on a bar without taking up too much room, and IMO it looks more aesthetically pleasing.
BITD how many bartops had 2 player panels? I can only think of one, the nintendo cabinets:
And that thing was a beast!
I'm trying to picture the cabinet with controls and Monitor + Marquee plexiglass installed. But out of all three of your designs, I like Titan , Galaxy then Thunder, in that order.
Titan has the best viewing capabilities because of the taito-esque curves. And Galaxy is Galaga, so you can't go wrong there.
rablack97 makes good points about the angles though.
Also, I first thought Thunder was based off Gyruss:
For suggestions:
Dynamo HS-5
Classic Street Fighter/Jamma conversion cab for most people in North America.
Nintendo (obvious):
Defender or Williams style:

Titan will have to grow on me.... i think its the curves mixed with the sharp angles thats throwing me off.

I'm in agreement there. I think, if you're planning on playing a bartop game, it should be a single player. If you want to play two player games, you really need a full-size cab.

I agree. I'm going to make some final changes to the models, so that there are less (no) sharp angles. It will certainly make any t-molding significantly easier to install.

Ah! Another model I hadn't considered... Hmm...

Thank you, thank you and thank you. I have actually worked out a new production method... ...which should mean that once I've got the designs complete - I can produce any or all of them.
