It looks really great but I wouldn't like playing 6 button games like Street Fighter with buttons orientated like that.

A lot of inner-city Brits got used to this back in the day as we had to put up with bad JAMMA conversions in the few arcades that were available - you soon adjust and no-one's ever struggled with the layout, particularly as Bar-Tops tend to be for more casual gaming. It's more common now though for us to build them slightly wider at the customer's request with the more familiar '2x3' button layout; this example was just an excercise in space-saving.

Besides, what difference does it make since all you're doing is mashing buttons?

I like seeing photos of arcade cabinets in place and people's gameroom setups. It's inspirational.

My Dug Dug is on a small filing cabinet - very sturdy!
