I may leave the games in and if people really wanna play them, they can. I simply made a list of vertical/cocktail games that get the most play on my upright, and added a few that were horizontal that still got tons of play. --- Quote from: wweumina on June 10, 2010, 12:48:30 am ---Also, most of those games would benefit from a 4 way stick. PAC-Man and Donkey Kong are no fun in 8-way. --- End quote --- I'm still debating sticking with 8-ways, or just going for a 4-way dedicated joystick. I've heard of software solutions, with varying degrees of success. I'll likely end up ordering some Sanwas for this cocktail in the end, but these 8-ways will get me going for now. --- Quote from: wweumina on June 10, 2010, 12:48:30 am ---If you stick with 8-ways, WindJammers is fun with the controls rotated. --- End quote --- I'll add that one into my set, thanks! --- Quote from: Ginsu Victim on June 10, 2010, 08:28:51 am ---They're not? Sure, they're not class of '81 or anything, but they're classics alright. --- End quote --- Yup, like i said, these are just vertical games that get a decent amount of play on my upright, with a few horizontals thrown in. --- Quote from: zafdor on June 10, 2010, 08:32:33 am ---Amazing maze - Ancient, but fun with 2 people simultaneous. Remember to tweak the joystick controls for player 2. --- End quote --- Added as well, thanks! --- Quote from: zafdor on June 10, 2010, 08:32:33 am ---There is a version of Space invaders where 2 people play at once on a cocktail, I forget the ROM name. --- End quote --- I'll dig around for this one, let me know if you find it first! --- Quote from: zafdor on June 10, 2010, 08:32:33 am ---Comment about the 8 way joystick. I have an 8 way and set the default MAME controls to null the 4 corners, for games that use the 8 way, change the game specific settings to use them. --- End quote --- Yeah, like I said, i've seen a few software fixes floating around, I'll have to experiment, but this way sounds too easy to work right :D --- Quote from: SlayerAlex on June 10, 2010, 08:46:30 am ---How, sir, are you expecting to play games like 1941 or metal slug on a cocktail? 2 players on the same side I assume? Otherwise 1 player plays upside-down? --- End quote --- For 1941, one will be upside down. For 1942, it rotates between players, IIRC. --- Quote from: Sjaak on June 10, 2010, 09:10:10 am ---Using the cocktail mode in Mame. This will show the game both up side down and right side up. I'll try and find a screenshot --- End quote --- There's also a funky tetris version for cocktails that does this. I should see if I can track that game down as well... |

Lady Killer - it's awesome but it's not for kids. I really wish someone would release a clean version of this game - the gameplay is GREAT. |
