: Trouble with defender and stargate is that the originals were so small that you could put the reverse button right next to it. without being able to get it with the thumb will probably kill the feel (enought that I wouldn't get them myself).

Yeah, I suppose in your case the best solution would be to just to build a dedicated Defender/Stargate control panel.
The benefit (I believe) behind using the restrictors is so you can have a universal or generic control panel layout and still maintain playability with the various types of games and their special joystick requirements.
: for the horizontals though, there are a ton of games.

Yes, there are many games. I just used Galaga as an example as that is probably the best known game with a horizontal joystick. If I were to have a single 2-way restrictor, it would be the horizontal one.
: (that said.... I don't think I will purchase a set until I do my cocktail table.)

Well get working on it already! ;)
