Of course they are disappointed. Arcade machines play games. That is their purpose. I own full sized cabs. I have never felt the urge to own a smaller version that plays the games worse. Bar tops are about the limit for me. You can still have a full sized screen and real arcade controls. |

if the screen is only 8" then yeah 1 button it is :) |

I would make this a vertical (3:4) cabinet. Most of the single player classics are built for it. 4-way joy and probably 2 buttons because of Qix and some others. |
