I recently picked up an Outlaw and a Racin' Fury upright arcade machines. I'm basically selling them for a guy, but in the meantime, I'm trying to develop my skillz. What I'm finding is it is very difficult to play these games for longer periods of time. Both legs get tired if you try to do it standing and if you sit down, you can't control the pedals well and your right leg turns to lead. Does anyone have recommendations on how to set up a stool and floorboard support that lends itself to marathon gaming sessions. I'm glad at this point that I never bought an upright driver and this has convinced me that if I feel a need for a driving game, a sit-down cabinet is the way to go. Please let me know if you have seen any good long-term solutions to this problem because I might want to keep one of these games if I can play it for an hour or two without my leg(s) feeling like rubber.

My long-term solution was to sell my driving games. There aren't many driving games you can have a marathon session on if you wanted to.

As "uprights" go, I don't like to drive for extended periods. I have a Turbo upright, but I'm not good enough yet to have to worry about a game longer than 2 minutes. I think Atari Games did well with APB and Hard Drivin' uprights with the stool placement. I think the pedals and such were angled accordingly, though.
