Title: quick question about Mortal Kombat-type games
Post by: ghettodish on January 06, 2009, 10:31:21 pm: I'm making my first player1-vs.-player2 control panel.

Am I correct in assuming P1 controls are always on the left and P2's on the right?

thats pretty much every game with a multiple player set up, player one on left, player 2 on the right

I had a good friend who had a Wizard of Wor machine in his basement (~1982 or so). We'd play that for hours. I still think of P1 on the right and P2 on the left because of playing so much on it.

Or two... Track & Field also has Player 1 on the right.
