Just off the top of my head - two button vertical games -  1942, 1943, 19XX, Top Gunner/Jackal, Tiger-Heli, Sky Shark, Twin Cobra, Xevious, many more

Mortal Kombat 6 uses all eight but basically, having all those buttons gives me the advantage to pick and choose which button formats I use. Like If I play Mortal Kombat, it's the 4 with one in the middile format...if I play Tekken, it's the 4 right next to each other on the right.

"Donkey Kong is vertical, but . . .  why not Super Mario Bros?"

I think the Vs. Super Mario Bros was horizontal, not sure, I can't find the rom anywhere.

"Consider the following.  I think you said you were using a 27-inch TV.  Most vertical games used a 19-inch monitor, so a vertical game on a horizontal 27-inch screen looks about right.  And if you play Mario on a 19-inch vertical screen, the game with have letterbox top and bottom borders, (and look like a 15-inch screen) but it will still be playable and fun.  I would test it before I ruled it out."

nah the 27" was for my PS2 machine, the 19" was for my Ms. pac-man/classics mame machine if I make one.


"Okay, if you are going to add other classic games you really probably want dual joysticks for two player simultaneous games."

I'll just save that for if I make a super-mame machine someday which I probably will when I have enough money.

Yeah and I just thought of this one game where you're a cowboy and you can should left/up/right so that's three buttons, and I think it was vertical.  (Oh wait that's GunSmoke just found out)

"Three-button vertical games - Gunsmoke, Ajax. more."

Lol yah. Ok so I'm gonna go with 3 buttons instead of just two. It'll look pretty nice I'll have a boomerang shape

Mario was horizontal.  I think Vs. was.  You missed my sarcasm and my point.

You still missed my point.  Play any horizontal game on the vertical 19".  It will look like you have a 15", but it will be fun to play.  That's all I'm saying.

well, if it is going to be a ps2 cab, my question is have you actually thought through the hardware aspect of it yet?

will you be hacking digital pads?  if so, are you sure these are compatible with the games you want to play, ie all the MK games?  howbout these classics?  are you planning on buying the midway arcade treasures titles or using ps2 mame, which is relatively poor gameplay-wise and requires a modified ps2..

just wondering about that since you havent really mentioned it in any of your other posts..
