Holy crap, another 4 player CP plan

Should you have your pinball yellow buttons mounted perpendicular to the control panel like a real pinball machine has them?  Basically, it seems very uncomfortable to play pinball with such slated buttons.

Wait a sec. Does anyone other than me think that the sticks should be aligned to the player, not to the monitor?

Cue Paige ... whom I happen to agree with on this, although I have never built a 4-player CP from scratch.

Cheers.

No production 4 player machine ever had joysticks slanted like that.  They were all set with the monitor in mind.  It might be an ongoing debate here, but I don't see why.  It just doesn't feel right when UP on the screen is not UP towards the screen... no matter what way you are facing.

But that's just my .02
