: I'm not expecting much response from this but I thought I would ask...

: OK, I know this is a really ugly drawing (spent a whole 3 minutes in MS-Paint slapping this together) but I wanted to get some feedback before I started drilling into the wood. In the picture you will see a panel with:
: 1 - coin 1
: 2 - start 1
: 3 - pause
: 4 - start 2
: 5 - coin 2
: a - button
: 4way - 4 way happs super
: spinner - fultra spinner
: b - button
: c - button
: track - happs 2.25" trackball
: d - button
: e - button
: top button - currently a happs topfire joystick (8 way)

: My current plans use this configuration for these games:

: tron - spinner and top button
: centipede - b and track
: vertical shooters and donkey kong - 4way, b and c
: omega race - spinner, d and e
: ms-pac - a (speed cheat) and 4way

: Are there any games that you guys can think of that will be a pain in the butt to play with this control panel set up on a vertical monitor? I would really hate to finish up the panel and then figure out "Hey, I can't play mspacman" or something like that. I will also have a steering wheel panel, a spyhunter panel, an LS-30 panel, and a star wars panel so it isn't necessary to make these games easy to play on here. Oh, I have a machine with a horizontal monitor 5 feet away from this one so there is no need for neo fighters, robotron, other horizontal games, etc to be played on here.
