gauntlet used a 19" monitor and a pretty small control panel based on many of todays frankenpanels. sure, 27" is better for some games... but 19" are better for others (really). Playing robotron on a 27" monitor is hard to get to that zen moment of seeing the shots from across the screen without loosing focus on your guy. I have a 27" and started using bezels for some games just because of that. btw, what cabinet do you have? This can make a difference. And last... You might consider a few nintendo original controllers with usb converters for far left and far right when you play with 4 players. It can give you the room you need. Basically... make sure you don't throw every controller you can in a space so small that you cant use any correctly. |

I have a Double Dragon II cab from 1988. I am going to make the CP large, 48" by 22" so people won't have to cram in. |

I am currently going through this myself. I have a 20" monitor and I am going for swappable panels. First I think 4 player games using gamepads is kind of "yeah right". If you can't get your friends/family to play with arcade controls, more than likely they aren't going to play with gamepads(*ducks for cover *). Having said that I am currently planning a 26" x 12.5" panel. I could get 4 joys but little to no buttons. Instead of 4 player, I am thinking of just making a 3 player setup with the necessary buttons for Guantlet/Simpsons/TMNT/Xmen/etc.. This should easily fit and finding 3 players should be a lot easier. Now I know why I had two kids. ;D |

I'm still think the best solution to this is the two cabinet plan. That way you can run two separate 2-P games, or one 4-P game using a KVM switch for the second cabinet. I would bet that you'll find yourselves playing more separate 2-P games than 4-P ones. |

but for those of us with only one cab right now, a two cab solution isn't feasable |
