2 and 4 Way Horizontal Build - Jog my memory please
« on: September 26, 2020, 05:08:37 pm »
I currently have a vertical 4-way cabinet and a vertical 8-way cabinet that covers all my vertical favorites.  I am wanting to do a horizontal cabinet and am deciding if I want to do a dedicated 4 way build or a 4/8 way build.  I prefer 4 way leaf controllers vs the 4/8 hybrids.  I don't really care for fighting games and/or run and gun type games from the 90s like Metal Slug or SF2/3. I was in the Army during those years, so I have little to no nostalgic attraction to the games and genres of that era.

The donor cabinet is a Chicago gaming unit (Golden Tee style) with a roller ball and dual sticks with 6 buttons.  All of my gaming memories are from mid-80s back so these are the games I want to focus on.  I am 99% sure this will be a dedicated 2/4 way setup with a leaf joystick, leaf buttons, and trackball.  I know there are more that I am missing, but I cant remember them.  What else am I missing?  Are there any side shumps that are 4 way?  I think most were 8-way.  I have enough real-estate on the CP to add a spinner but I don't want it to be too busy.  I don't remember many spinner games either.

Joust
Track and Field
Missile Command
Ghost 'n Goblins
Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Moon Patrol
Popeye
Chrystal Castles
Tapper
Zookeeper
Capcom Bowling
Defender
Golden Tee

Are there any 4/8 way controllers that have the old school arcade feel?  My goal is period/play correct vs quantity.

add World Class Bowling to your list (Better than Capcom Bowling imo)
