| How many buttons for 2 player machine??HELP please |
| << < (2/3) > >> |
| TOK:
I put 6 per player on my machine, just because it was the typical fighter layout and I didn't want to be short buttons. I find that 90% of the games I play don't use more than 3. Most of the Japanese scrolling shooters are fire/bomb/smart bomb, and most of the classics don't use more than two buttons. If space is a concern due to the size of your cabinet, I'd be comfortable with 3, but you're really the one who has to decide which games are important to you. |

are there any games that use 7 buttons? I was planning on using 7 buttons per player PLUS two buttons on the sides as pinball buttons. Is that way too many? The room isn't really an issue but if only 2 games use 7 buttons than I'm going with 6 each (plus pinballs). |

I would go with 6 buttons per player if I was you. Even if you dont use them you might want to later. My button set up is in 2 straight rows of 3. Mine is a 2 player alteranting cabnet so pacman and galiga worked out nicly. |
