That's kinda what I was thinking... Player 3 and 4 would just be looking at the back wall.

Excellent suggestion! Thanks. I used to love playing that cabinet, although it still looks huge as a slim version.  :lol  It might be a good frame for making designing a 4 player slim cab.  I found a sketchup model of it here from Gozer:

I think I will check out the dimensions after I can open it in sketchup tonight.

No screen, plugs into a TV via HDMI or S-Video. It stores easily since it doesn't take up much space, it's on locking wheels to move it. I just wheel it out and plug it in to to TV mounted on my wall when I want to play. It's also portable enough to bring to a friend's house.

It's easily possible as long as you maintain the centre of gravity and keep the weight acceptable enough to withstand 4 players hammering at it. Here's a selection of our 'Slimline King 4P' builds to demonstrate:
