I understand what you're saying, but what if I don't have the answer to that? If you can imagine that I am building it for someone else, and I just want to get as much functionality as possible.

I'd have to agree with identifying the must-have games.
I'm still designing my panel and accumulating the needed parts for it. I started this thinking I'd put together the absolute do-all Frankenpanel, then quickly realized that there is no true OSFA panel. I've wasted time and effort going at this backwards when I should have listened to everyone here in the first place... You have to know at least some general types favorites to effectively put one together.
Unless you're planning on a rotating or modular panel system.
Or a barely usable six-footer.
Or plan to do a lot of talking and drawing, but no building.

I'll bite... I'd say Knievel's CPs are the most versatile with enough to play trackball and spinner games as well as traditional 2 player fighters and all the 4-way and 8-ways.
The next one I build is going to be an off-shoot of that. I'm going to ditch the 4-way and opt for 2 U360s but everythign else will be basically the same.

You've given me some great advice. I wish I could say what games its for but I honestly cannot tell you.
I'm just looking for a CP that can work across the board.

We don't have that type of Clearance.

That's what we're trying to tell you.... there isn't one. There is simply too many games for that.

You're right. I'm asking for something that can't be given.
Just checked out Knievel. Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---! This guy is awesome.
