For horizontal only the original Mario Brothers!
Sorry, it's just one of my favorite games...

: I have the design finished for the diagonal-only restrictors, but I'm still looking at the 2-way ones. I'm trying to come up with a 2-way design that can flip between vertical-only (Defender/Stargate) and horizontal-only (Galaga). I'm having some difficulty because the screw/removable pin holes are 1/4" and the locating pin holes are 3/16". The original intent was to make them foolproof so they could only be installed one way. Unless I can come up with a really clever design for the 2-ways, the horizontal and vertical restrictors may need to be separate sets.
: IF they had to be separate sets, which would be preferable, the horizontals or verticals? Would anyone even be interested in horizontal/vertical restrictors? I haven't heard much interest in these, unlike the many requests there have been for diagonal-blocking or diagonal-only type restrictors.
: I may just have the diagonal-only style restrictors fabbed for the time being, but if there is enough interest in the horizontal/vertical styles they could be added to the product line in the future. The goal will be to make all future restrictors compatible with the current mounting plate hole sizes and locations so you could purchase just the restrictors you want and buy additional ones later.
: Any feedback is welcome! Thanks!
