Multiple machines, what types?
Slippyblade:
I think eventually I intend to have a few different emulation machines in my cave. That way I can tailor each machine to the type of gameplay. Assuming a setup like that, what would the hive mind recommend? I'm thinking of the following...
Fighter Cab:
--- 2 x 8 way sticks
--- 6 buttons per player, micro-switch
--- horizontal screen
Shmup Cab:
--- 2 x 8 way sticks
--- 3 buttons per player, leaf
--- vertical screen
Retro Cab:
--- 1 x 4 way stick
--- 2 buttons
--- vert screen (not sure here)
Ideas? Suggestions?

Shump
4way for pacman, donkey kong games
Driving
Fighter
Year of Star Wars cockpit/ space sim pit
Cocktail cabinet for dual purpose use as an end table.
OTOH
I like the look of neo geo 4 slot system. Especially, the modern adaptation with the now playing slot.
I like the look of the Taito cabinet.
I like the look of the midway cabinet.
So, 9 plus my lowboy. That won't cost an arm and a leg to have running all at once.

The one cab I've had that I absolutely miss is a dedicated shooter. Point Blank 2 might be one of the best games ever. Just me tho, I love shooters. I'll make another one at some point, just have to find a gun solution I can fall in love with. ACT Labs are great but it's still not as good as the dedicated guns imo.

A dedicated 4 way cab with a vertical monitor would be so perfect.
