Top 10 Mame mistakes that keep getting copied from one machine to another.
ChadTower:
I seem to remember Gauntlet having rotated sticks... not angled, as angled would probably be the term to use if the sticks weren't 90 degrees vertical... but I do seem to remember that the side sticks on Gauntlet are rotated, possibly a full 90 degrees, but up for the side sticks isn't the same physical direction as up on the middle sticks in my memory.
If they were rotated a full 90 degrees, so that the up directions of the side sticks are actually pointing directly at each other, that would explain why the bolts don't appear to be rotated.

I didn't play Gauntlet enough to know this for sure but that would be HELLA confusing if that was the case...
ChadTower:
Not nearly as confusing for me as if I had to stand sideways and look at the monitor out of the corner of my eye, reaching all the way across my body to get at the buttons.

You have five more with what I posted in this thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=64011.0
I meant to do an experiment with turning my desktop CP at a 45-degree angle, sitting at the same angle and seeing how the game played.
However, I remember a previous post on this supplying this test as a good example. Sit at a 45-degree angle to the computer screen, turn your mouse so it is facing away from you and try to trace a vertical and then a horizontal line. Repeat with the mouse oriented perpendicular to the computer screen. The second method is easier.

The joysticks on 2 On 2 Open Ice Challenge look angled to me.
