Mameroom Full CP - A review
massive88:
My guess is the red next to the blue. Its quite a flamboyent contrast.
Im no color expert or designer, but I know that Red and Blue are not Complementary Colors.
It doesn't make your choice of colors wrong however, you should always lean toward getting exactly what you want. However it may come across as an odd decision to other people (who may feel compelled to comment on it, as above) when you stray from the more traditional color combination choices.
Edit: Upon renewing my knowledge of complementary colors, thats probably not what you want to go for either. So I guess you can disregard that comment. Point still stands though, you wont make everyone else happy with any color choice you do, so just make sure you make yourself happy.

Yeah, it does look a little "busy". If I was doing it again, I'd go with a single color for each player. Live and learn. I should have paid more attention to the CP gallery to get color scheme ideas before going forward...At least buttons aren't that expensive.

I was just razzing Mojo. I checked the Review forum and noticed that there were no new posts, so I had made an ass of myself by assuming that he didn't update. Went directly to posting rather than looking at the original post.
I'm not a huge fan of the color scheme, but I don't know what his final vision is. It could look pretty sweet with the right artwork on there. Personally I prefer to have each player have all one color (with maybe button 1 being a different color). And buttons are very, very easy to change. So if he decides that he doesn't dig the colors he can easily change them out.

Something like this is what I thought.
The color scheme is your traditional sports (and Indian paint) colors. They get attention. The layout is odd due to the sticks left of center and upper left. How does it feel in various game play?

if I only knew then....
The second stick left of center is for Robotron and SmashTV (2 of my favorites). Unfortunately, the placement of the 2nd player one stick slightly interferes with the use of the dedicated 4-way (upper left). I have to cant my left arm a little out to use it comfortably. If I had to do it over again, I would have printed a full size layout and "played" on it to get a better idea of gameplay. Otherwise, I like everything else on it.
I'd also get an inertia cylinder for the TT2, as Tempest is really weak without it. One's coming soon though.
