Some of the game companies (Atari, Sega, Konami, etc) spent lots of money on R&D, and if angled joysticks were better than these companies would have used them.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Yeah right.

Maybe for their big motorized machines, but not on regular cabs. There was a formula that worked for arcades, and everybody used it.


It is a matter of preference, and what works for the individual building the cab. I built a cab to play a huge variety of games, and I found the angle to be far more comfortable. In my design, I was not at all concerned about floor space, which was a concern for machines that had to fit into full arcades. They couldn't plan for having the players standing at a 45
