What do you all think about 4 player cabs?

Unfortunately for MAME builders the Frakenpanel is just around the corner.

depends on your setup ;)

I find most of the time a 4-player cab is a big waste of space.  I prefer a 2 player cab that has a couple of plug in controls for players 3 and 4.

You hit it right on the head for me.  I have three children and if one had to wait for a turn I would probably go crazy having to listen about the other kids not sharing.

I have a 4 player MAME cab and prefer it to my old 2 player machine.  Probably the main reason is my old machine was a cabaret and got a bit cramped with 2 players.

We've had the 4 player cab running for some time now and yes, unless there are kids around I wouldn't bother.  My brother in-law and his two kids and I played TMNT for about an hour and then the Simpsons for about the same and every time they come over they all (2 nephews and 2 neices) want to play 4 player games.  One of the families has my old 2 player machine so the kids are used to MAME and MameWah.

When adults are over though they mainly play single player classics so even a 2 player cab is of no use.
