4 players and angled sticks
<< < (2/8) > >>
Lilwolf:
I had it angled for a long time... but I changed it..

why?

because I would have kids play captain america at every one of my daughters birthdays when I was in new mexico... And NONE of the kids could get the controls to work right.  They where always running in the wrong direction.

It didn't effect adults as much (because they could figure it out by watching the screen for a sec).  But after changing it to ++++, they had the same reaction (where they would adjust right away to the proper direction).

Next... and what I think is a big reason...  2 player smashtv and total carnage is REALLY fun... and you can do it with ++++ but not so well with x++x

X++X here.

Why?  Because I wanted up to really be up and not left or right. 

Is it confusing? not really- most people figure it out really quickly.  I will admit it was a little tough to do smash tv at first, but after a round or two (especially with all those prices and "big money") I got the hang of it.

Hmm, I don't see any part of the 'X' in 'X++X' that points 'up'.   :P

You might be right on this one. I found 2 pictures of the cp 1 was angled and 1 wasn't. Are you sure yours wasn't a conversion.

No, I couldn't swear to that.  When I bought it it was actually an Open Ice game (that was also non functional).  When I pulled off the Open Ice artwork, underneath was all the Captain America stuff.  Full CA artwork on both sides of the cabinet, monitor bezel, and control panel.  I suppose it could have been something else before it was even Captain America.  I also suppose it's possible the 1&4 sticks may have been rotated when they converted it to Open Ice, but there were no secondary bolt holes so they'd have had to build a new panel if that's what they did.
