Class of 1981 - Ms. Pac/Galaga monitor size question
<< < (2/4) > >>
CheffoJeffo:
Namco put 25" monitors in them and that is WAY too big for the cabinet -- it just looks clumsy to me

I can't imagine shoehorning a 25" into my Galaga or Pac cabinets.

Cheers.
mvolke1:
What's more disturbing than the monitor size is the audacity to charge 50 cents to play Ms. Pac-Man.

Long live MAME!
ahofle:
Another vote for too big.  It makes it harder to play Galaga too because you can't see your ship as easily using your peripheral vision while looking above at the enemies.
Drews Arcade:
I have played the cocktail and upright, I think the big monitors are great.
Aurich:
I'm building a from-scratch Galaga style cab with a 25" monitor, but I've modified the design to fix some of the sight problems. My cab is  little deeper and taller (inch or two) and the marquee is chopped to 6", which is the big difference. That stock 9" marquee is just too damn tall for the monitor, it cuts off the top of it.
