Yeah, it looks fairly simple enough, until you realize that the font I used (which if you can't identify you need to be shot) didn't originate like that, I had to fill in all the colors, and eliminate the overlaps in the letters. Took me HOURS to do that text, and I don't overly like how unreadable the colored stuff came out frankly.

But, now people will know what to press and stop harping me about how to change games, pause, etc...etc.... :)

Did I set the record for widest post this year?

LOL

You may have. Nice work though.

Looks good I like it. :) One suggestion though. I would put the esc/quit button somewhere else. Where it is now p2 could easily accidently hit it when meaning to his start or coin. On my cab I put the esc button on the side of my cabinet to prevent accidental pushing of the button...

Actually, that's never happened. The spacing is just enough that nobody hits it.

However, the POWER button that I hid on the back of the control panel in a COMPLETELY unreachable place gets hit by every person under 10 every time they're within 10 feet of it :) I've had to start taking off the cherry switch from the button everytime I have a get together.
