Cocktail Cabinets - Uncomfortable to play?

My first machine ever was a DK Jr. cocktail- My buddies and I spent literally days playing, and nobody complained about poor ergonomics.  Of course, we were 13 at the time, so we'd probably have sat on a chair made of nails as long as we could play video games for free.  Still, I don't remember comfort ever being an issue.

The older you get, the more upper backpain will be an issue playing cocktails.


solfood:

I have a Ms. Pac Man/Galaga sized cocktail with a third control panel on the horizontal and I play a lot of fighters and shoot em ups.  I have pretty uncomfortable wooden stools witch make your ass hurt after awhile but I don't experience any back pain after a couple hours of play.  Plus you can set you beer on the top and drink between screens or with one hand while playing pac-man.

LordKaosNY:

Ok, so it seems like confortable stools are a must for long cocktail play.  I'm still not sure if playing Street Fighter II games for an extended period of time is going to work out with a cocktail.  If not, no real need for that third control panel.

Chuck E. Rat's used to have padded benches, not stools.  More Butt Spacetm on a bench.
