WTF is up with those buttons? Are they three buttons in one or something?

Apparently if you get tired of playing SF, you can play two player Simon on the cab.

those buttons are awesome!!!  lol

i guess they would be OK for certain kinds of games...but i dont know how you would ever play street fighter with them.

i have some buttons similar to those that came in teh dynamo cabinet i bought, it was set up as a puzzle fighter cabinet, but they only were 2 color buttons instead of 3.  i thought about using them on my cabinet for something (like either side pauses, both together are exit)  but it seems the one color is alot stiffer than the other...they were just too weird.

Oh I noticed it .... but adding and removing buttons is no big deal to me, so I just ignored that part and judged on the rest of it. (also noticed the mis-matched joysticks)

And yes, those are three buttons in one. Which is how they got a six button layout to work.
Dumb... yes.....hard to play that way.....pretty sure.

I know those buttons, I wanna say RELIEF PITCHER but KLOV is blocked here at work.  truth be told it actually was pretty smart to use the way they did on the game, it was for picking pitches and stuff and put 3 buttons in one saved lots of room on the CP , however, it just doesnt work when you have to constantly use all 6 buttons and switch between them

Looks like a Joust or Moon Patrol based on the slope of the sides below the CP.

Turning any Williams game into a Street Fighter should be punishable by imprisonment. Someone who does it that badly should just be dropped into a volcano.  ;D

I think those buttons would be pretty great for admin. Different colors would be cooler, though.
