None of them play perfectly, but we felt the 8 way Happ stick was the best compromise for game play and costs. Remember, we had to build a kit that sold for under $1,000, including hardware, software, controls, and graphics.

How much are these cabs now? David, are you working on any new cabs down the road?
davidrfoley:
Arcade Legends II are the most inexpensive, I think they sell around $1,895. They aren't cheap. They are full JAMMA as the board inside them is a JAMMA board.
I've got a bunch of projects brewing, I'll announce them as they come out.

720 is in mame (obviously) and how do most people play that? With an 8-way stick, of course. Before .70 mame used the spinner. Sometimes I go back and try the spinner and I'm undecided. I'll have to try that again tonight.
I like the overall design of this cab. Of course it's a lot, it's a commercial product. I'm glad to see them pushing into the market - although if retro gets too popular, we might be back to pumping quarters - er, sliding cards. There could be mamecab witch-hunts. Scary.
davidrfoley:
a spinner is really the optimal control for 720.
Ummon:
Mmmm, I think a spinner with a finger hole would be best. Or, in lieu of such, have a rubber thimble close by. I'll have to get one.
