Please CRITIQUE my CPs - UPDATED!

I'm building a cocktail with 3 CPs.

seibu:
That looks pretty good. I did something similar on my cocktail.

One thing: have you considered making your control panels modular? At the moment you can't play vertical trackball games (centipede / millipede) or horizontal spinner games (roadblasters, er...).

If you made the controls swappable, you could make the most of what you've got. I've got one "pod" at each end of my cocktail and two on the side. I can put two TBs down the side for two player Marble Madness, or one on the end for millipede / centipede. Or I can have two joystick panels on each end for "proper" cocktail Ms. Pac Man, or have a spinner at one end for Tempest. There's a combination for almost everything, except simultaneous "same end" two player vertical games - which are a bit of a pain on a cocktail anyway.

javeryh:
Thanks for the comments.  I thought about it but in the end I decided that I would probably never really do any switching of CPs.  The only game I think I'm missing out on with this set up that I'm interested in playing is Centipede/Millipede - and I can still suffer through it in horizontal mode if I get desparate...

Flinkly:
what are those 4 buttons for across the top of every panel?  having more admin buttons than player buttons seems a bit wierd...
