Dealing with multiple joysticks
Oddfeld:
You might also consider not angling the player 3 and 4 joysticks - real arcade games (Gauntlet, Simpsons etc) didn't do this, and using your setup you'll find it impossible to play 2 player games where both players need 2 8-way joysticks (like Smash TV etc).

I think the "angling 3rd/4th players controls" thread has been done to death. My usability tests show that players 3/4 want it angled.
You do bring up a good point though about 2 player Smash TV being unplayable. Oh well. SOL. I never played Smash TV, so I'm not going to sweat that one. Any other simultaneous two player, two joystick games I'll miss out on?

After reading all about that thread about angling sticks.. i went to my local arcade and played the simpsons on the 4th stick...
DO NOT ANGLE... you would be surprised how hard it is to play on an angled stick.

Yes, in cased you missed the lengthy discussion last week. NO arcade game had angled sticks. Up was always point north towards the monitor.
