How do you like playing on the school-desk cocktail tables?
Jack Burton:
I have a lady near me who is willing to sell me her Donkey Kong cocktail for $450.
Here's a picture:
I've never played on one of these cabs but I've always been fascinated by them and wanted one.
But the thing that has me concerned is the control panel. It's at an angle that is perpendicular to the player so that the joystick and buttons stick out of the side of the cabinet. It looks like it would be awkward to play on.
Would you guys mind sharing your experiences and opinions on these types of cabs?
I also have a Mine Sweeper, and an Ameri Darts cocktails that I'm asking the owners about, but they haven't got back to me with pics yet. Any preliminary comments on those?
lilshawn:
if it didn't have that pesky 4 on the price id go for it.
i'd hold out for a midway cabinet, it's designed a little better
Gray_Area:
It might be fairly easy to re-configure your playing style:
stick - grip the knob of the stick between fore and second fingers, stabilizing with thumb - sort of like in the 'I've got your nose' game.
jump button - use your thumb, or place the topside of your hand against the panel, and push the button with the second knuckle of your forefinger
Jack Burton:
Yeah I'm not going to give $450 for it. I'm hoping she'll bite on a trade for a large television I have.
I would really like to have one of those Midway cabinets. The thing I like about them is the ability to go from horizontal to vertical gameplay without any adjustments or moving parts.
bkenobi:
Isn't it considered sacrilege to MAME a dedicated upright? Doesn't that still apply (perhaps even moreso) to a cocktail? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds like you want to "reconfigure" which to me sounds like "MAME". ???
