/vr/ - Retro Games

I am not sure what pushbutton the North American MVS machines shipped with. My memory of seeing the underside of control panels of the 90s says they had "ultimate" style pushbuttons with vertically mounted microswitches. These buttons have a taller profile on the control panel and a little longer stroke than the horizontally oriented convex buttons most arcades switched to by the late 90s. Some people hate these, some people love them. To me they have a more old school arcade feel but are technically inferior for sharp gameplay of fighting games.
