Poll: During game play which hand do you use?
Crowquill:
On classic cabs that are set up to be ambidextrous (most), I ALWAYS use my right hand for the directional controls. I think it's interesting that most Atari control panels were either ambidextrous or forced you to use your right hand for controls.
This holds true even for the 2600 joysticks. I remember an article in "Atari Age" magazine on how to wire your joystick to be "left-handed". Intellivision, Colecovision, and even 7800 had ambidextrous controllers though.
On the other hand, pretty much every other manufacturer made their control panels "left-handed." It became the standard and my MAME cab reflects that.
I still answered right-only though

Hmmmm...
What an interesting question.....Made me think.....
I'm right handed.....
Normally Joy in left.... buttons with right....
Although....
Gorf = Right hand
Arkanoid....spinner = right hand...
Trackball (Combat schoool) = left hand trackball......
Still thinking......
I'm sure I also used to swap as the cab I was playing dictated or what felt most comfortable...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This thinking lark sucks.....
Gimmie a beer....
;D

Yup.
danny_galaga:
i choose 'left hand only'. this is because both my cocktail cab and the game pad i use for my PC only have this option. given a chance i would play games like pacman with my right. eventually ill build an upright and i guess ill config those games onto player 2's joy...
markb:
I use my right hand for joystick control and have set all of my CP's out with one joystick set for RH use the other for LH use.
