NEW UK MAME ARCADE COMPANY???
RayB:
Anyways, let's forget about the ROM angle....
MAMEGEEK, you mentioned that in your tests no one touched the trackball and spinner games. That makes sense since it's a pretty small percentage of games that use those. Certainly it would make sense to offer a cheaper cab without those controls. THe only game I'd say people would want and remember that use those controls are Centpede and Arkanoid.
Other than that, it's really hard to say what you should or shouldn't offfer on your cabs, because there are a few different demographics... The over-40 crowd will fondly remember the classics from 1983 and earlier. 30-40 crowd will remeber those and some of the 80's side-scrollers, etc. Then the under 30 crowd are likely to be the Neo Geo and fighter fans.
The reason I mention those 3 example demographics is that the games they like will affect what controls you want to include, and even the control layout. Also if you are including PCs it affects the speed of PC you need to run the games they like. THe newer the game, the more powerful PC you need.
