If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Cool you noticed.   It's actually ExpendaBros.  The Explendables skinning of Bro Force.   I'm using 3 buttons attack, grenade, special attack.  I had a lot of fun playing with the 3 buttons I was using. Up works as jump.

I haz it. I got the free game like you, but I also bought the actual broforce game too.  Whoever their pixel artist is for the portraits......he does amazeballs work.

*LOVE* your button layout BTW  :applaud:

I've wanted Bro Force for awhile but decided on Mercenary Kings first.  Expenda Bros is awesome!  I'm glad I found out it was free; didn't they used to charge? Can you tell me if it uses the same control scheme?   I hope you say yes.  Also, what is the max player?  Is 2 or more with gamepads?

Thanks for the kind words on the layout.  You might be surpised to know that player 2 is the opposite, solid rings and clear plungers.  It looks nice, but I have it wired wonky though.  I'll fix it when I have a game I need it fixing for.  One day I'll Neph it up and light the buttons based on the game.

It's supposed to be
   X X X
1 2 3 4   
And I'm supposed to change it with ini's but I never got around to doing that.  I have this peculiar fantasy that I'll get MKKE and Injustice playble, but haven't.

Config your mame inis before its playable friends and neighbors!

Give Super time force a try as well. http://supertimeforce.com/

It was free on my Xbox One (games with gold) so I gave it a try and decided it would have a better home on my arcade so I downloaded it on there.

As soon as I had 1 player controls setup I was playing super time force :P

That looks cool man!  Thanks for sharing.  Consider posting a review on the "Official" List for PC Games on a Cab If you can take a screen shot of the control configuration menu/screen.  Also mention how many buttons are required and if you can exit with escape.  Once I watched the vid, I recognized seen it early.  It does look fun.  What are the max players?

It's only single player. You have to keep slowing time/going back and if it was 2 player or more it would get very annoying.
I forget what the controls were. I think I was emulating a 360 controller for it but I didnt need all 8 buttons to control. I'll check again this weekend.
