For those of you who enjoy these games, do you normally use the joystick with your left or right hand? Thinking about a 2-player CP and want to keep guests in mind so I'm trying to get an idea. I would assume the left hand like other games, but you know what happens when you assume. ;) |

Left. It's the way the original cabs were set up for those games, so it's what feels right to me now. |
| maxlamer:
I've seen some cabinets with buttons on both sides of the joysticks (1 player only) but if you were worried about guests and that issue you could do your cp like that |
| brandon:
left. But then again I AM left-handed ;D not sure who started the joystick on the left idea.. Maybe Nintendo? They invented the modern gamepad and its on the left.. glad they did it that way though :) EDIT: btw, somewhere I saw a "left handed" gamepad with the D-pad on the right! Wouldnt that be a right handed one? strange... ??? |
| Gh0sty:
joystick is allways left, shooting and bombing and the rest right. Thats the way i played real arcades since 1982 - up today, and i'm righthanded. I knew, shooting and bombing was more important (if you are fast enough) then to avoid the enemy fire ;) |
