What's up with the angling?

This is true of all of them back to the original gaunlet II, TMNT, Simpsons etc... If you are not square on to the screen it's just awkward.

Truer words have never been spoken on these forums! :applaud:

That Gauntlet Legends machine isn't dedicated, some stoned arcade employee did a half-ass conversion and like many newbies thought he should angle the sticks.
Here is a dedicated panel. Up is up.
Le Chuck:
True, and also true I still hate playing in the P3 or P4 slot.

This topic is interesting for someone like me who is going to pick up his melamine sheet today and make his first control panel. This whole time, I figured I would angle my joysticks on players 3 and 4 like on a mameroom quad player panel. http://www.mameroom.com/Products_QuadController.asp
Now I read almost everyone here says the 3 and 4 players should be facing straight up. Now I have a Dynamo showcase cab so it doesn't effect me too much since I am a ways away from the screen, but now I must make a decision on how to angle/not angle my sticks.
I keep thinking about me playing a game on a console at home.....I don't need to be directly in front of the screen to know up is up. I can sit off to the side slightly and still function just fine.
Decisions Decisions.......
DaveMMR:
Peja, keep in mind that control panels (or controllers) you hold in your hand and controls permanently installed into a stationary panel are not the same. With little exception, they should be straight.
I think a lot of issues could be solved by separating any comparisons between the home console and the arcade machine. ;)
