By putting the players 1 and 2 controls where they are, I have room on the sides for the pinball buttons, and more elbow room for players 3 and 4. I can't move the controls closer to the screen because I'd lose palm resting space on the second row. Anyway, you can still play golf, you just have to be a little more careful. It seemed like the right compromise. The trackball's position felt fine for precision games like Centipede and Missile Command, which I personally enjoy much, much more. |

Alright, sounds like you've tried it all out. Overall, it looks to be a very nice CP. Looking forward to seeing it completed. :) |

Looks ok to me even though I'm not a frankenpanel fan. And that artwork kicks entirely too much butt. |

I agree -- the artwork rocks. Where do you people get all this talent? -- Chris |

Use Photoshop for a good ten thousand hours, and you really get the hang of it. Anyway, speaking of artwork, I've decided the layout should work pretty well with some minor tweaks and I've done a preliminary sketch of the CPO. After I clean it up a little, I suppose I should start a thread in the artwork forum. Here's a peek anyways. |
