In Reply to: Cabinet Ready To Construct : 4 Player Arcade games Question posted by Sonny Brown on 11, 2001 at 5:34 AM:
: Hey Everyone ,
: Well All the pieces for my cabinet are cut ou and ready to be put together.
: But just now ive had a small change of heart.
: Ive decided to make it a 4 player cabinet, just much more social and the prospect of 4 player TMNT and WWF Wrestlefest is just too much :)
: But Anyway I have a few questions before I do commit myself to 4p.
: 1. What are some other 4 player games ? Many other goodies ???
Yeah buddy! Gauntlet I and II, X-men, Simpsons, 2 on 2 Open Ice Challenge, 2 player Total Carnage, 2 Player Smash T.V., Cyberball, NBA Jam to name a few. :)
: 2. I was thinking of using an I-PAC , What would be the optimum number of buttons and everything I could/should use ? ( because by my count im going to need more than 27 inputs ? )
I use 6 buttons for player 1 and 2 and three buttons for player 3 and 4. A rotary optical stick for player 1 and 2 and regular Supers for 3 and 4. A player 1,2,3,4 start buttons, 4 coin buttons, misc function buttons on the front. I also have a separate panel with a trackball and two spinners with three buttons per spinner and a player 1 and 2 start button.
: 3. How many buttons per player should I have ?
I use 6 buttons for player 1 and 2 and three buttons for player 3 and 4
: 4. Will I need 4 coin insert buttons ??
I have them so I can use separate coins for games like TMNT, Simpsons, X-men, Gauntlet and anything else that uses separate coins for each player. I've got a 4 player coin panel that I'm using for my cabinet so it can do that with coins too.
Good luck building!
Game on!! Brian
