@ifixcoinops holy shit... I just realised how many fucking games just... took Winston out of the Ghostbusters games entirely. EVERY single version I remember of Ghostbusters games have Winston basically not be there...

@Nine It's not like Data East didn't know how to make a 4-player cabinet, they were super-common at the time and 3-player ones were quite rare

@ifixcoinops right??? Fuckin' Gauntlet for crying out loud. TMNT! Bucky Oh Hare! I saw a 3 player cabinet for Gauntlet once, but that was like... clearly not the cabinet made for the board in it. I think it was that exact cabinet, but with the Ghostbusters decals removed.

@Nine Bucky O'Hare ruled. That one could go in a 2, 3, or 4-player cabinet, with common or independent coin mechs, with mono or stereo sound, all on one board and selected via dipswitches. Konami had things Sorted Out by then.
