Which Control Panel Layout & Why?
JoyMonkey:
Go with A. You wouldn't be able to play Robotron with the joysticks at angles like you have in B.
pointdablame:
Another vote for A, having the joys on an angle other than 90 degrees to the screen will take some getting used to.
SoundDoc:
Ahhh..... I hadn't thought about the two joysticks issue...
I was thinking more along the line that I can remember in the arcades, playing games like street figter and such as a kid, that me and my buddies. (who wern't small guys by any stretch) always kinda stood to the side of the machine, otherwise you were just "uncomforably" close. (One memory of my friend Muff kept coming back, I'm not a huge guy, but he was a rugby palyer. During one heated game I can remember getting knocked off me feet twice as he bashed the controls around...)
:o I completely blanked out on the dual joystick games, and was thinking only about 2 different players.
I'm thinking A is the best choice now, and I'll just space them further apart to get the "comfort" zone back.
I'm thinking about also getting rid of the cut corner top as well, as it would serve no purpose, but leaving the bottom cut at angle, and just rounding the top on a long radius.
This things starting to look more and more like a slikstik every time I mess with it! ;)

Apollo:
Got to be A, no question.
etumor:
There is absolutely no question. The two sticks have to be facing the monitor straight (A). If you rotate them (the way you have it on B) you'll be very very sorry. Nothing will play right.
