Use the red ball top joystick and two buttons for A and B. The reason Nintendo never gave this game a cocktail is simple to the fact that this is definitely not an arcade game. But I like the idea cuz it's an overhead game and a cocktail cab would give it a good feel, although it might strain your neck just a bit.
Anyway, as for the second cab, why not make it something else? If you are looking to make money off of it then that is one thing but if it's mostly just for the fun of it, think of putting something else in it.
There are a lot of cool things you could build.
: I have been kicking around the idea of building a dedicated "Legend of Zelda" Cocktail machine. I would be using the program Zelda Classic. (It is a perfect reproduction of the original, but it also has a mode with updated graphics). This program runs perfectly on a 486 so the computer cost of this project would be allmost nothing. I really think Zelda deserves a cabinet even though Nintendo never gave it one.
: Since I have 2 486's and 2 Monitors I might as well build 2 of them. I figure building 2 of them won't really take a lot longer than one since most of the time will be spent designing the cabinet and graphics etc.
: If I was to build 2 of them what would be a good price to sell the second one for?
: These cocktail tables would be brand new, (except for the monitors and PCs of course).
: I would also like some feedback on some possible side art, glass art etc.
: Thanks for your ideas.
