Concept - Thoughts Please
DarakuTenshi:
Of course another option would be to add a couple USB ports to the front of your cabinet for 3/4 player games where you can just plug a game pad in. The other thing I saw in your last build and couldn't quite tell on this one is the angle of the top of your control panel. It gets rather uncomfortable playing for extend an extended period of time if the CP is parallel to the floor. But, I love the design.

The problem with 4 player games is they lose a lot of fun with unlimited quarters. Even Smash TV and total carnage, which are 2 player dual wield games, lose a lot when a quarter has no meaning. I have 5 arcade machines and people usually choose to play single player classics.
The trackball got people to gather around the machine. Shuffleshot was a lot of fun with 4 players.

Excellent points, Lew. What good does 4 joysticks do when a person wants to play Galaga?
As I've said before, if I were ever to get a 4 player cab, it would be a Midway/Konami-type, no bigger. All this concern about space to me is a non-issue. I've played on those machines with other adults, and the space is fine. But honestly, I don't ever see myself needing a 4 player at all. A two-player horizontal and a 1 player 4-way vertical took care of most party situations. The other 9 machines I ended up with were overkill. :cheers:

Agreed. Some games could be set to turn off Continues in the dip switch settings. I haven't checked to see if any of the typical 4-player games have it, but it could be something to check out.
But if this cab is for kids, then don't worry about the unlimited credits. They'll keep playing and playing and playing regardless... :)

With 4 player machines, the kids will keep playing and playing. While the adults will quickly start only playing 2 players at a time because they just don't like being cramped in like that.
