It was really more of a curved line, but that's the best I can do with plain text.

ACtually, most neogeo cabinets had the three buttons in a striaght row, there were few that curved them.

SirPoonga is correct, both designs existed.

I was referring to this design:

Now you're just yanking my chain, right?

Just in case you aren't, the Neo-Geo was a multi-game system that came out in the early 90's for both the arcade and the home.  A single Neo-Geo cabinet could house multiple games, and new games could be swapped in very quickly.  The exact same games that were available in the arcade were available for the home system (which was too expensive for most people to own).  When we talk about "Neo-Geo games," we're talking about games specifically made for that system.

For detailed information, go here:

Scroll down to the section that says "My $0.02" and it gives a history of the system.

That website hasn't been updated in many years, so all of the information about Neo-Geo emulation is horribly outdated, but the history of Neo-Geo is the best one I've found.
