I have seen quite a few of them hacked up in that way. Basically you cut the panels off and put them both on the side with the coin door, that way it LOOKS like you can play normal 2 player games, except that you can't, because the machine isn't REALLY wide enough for two people to sit side by side and play.

Darn! That looks like the only thing that would fit in my house.

Huh, what are you smoking? even a one sided cocktail takes up about twice the square footage as an upright (a two sided one takes up roughly 3.5 times the space).

Shorter does not mean it takes up less floor space. It takes up much more, oh so much more. I have ONE cocktail in my kitchen, and it eats the entire room. I have also had 3 uprights in there, and it was much roomier then.

Xphile:

yup.. don't forget - it's not just the cocktail, there's a couple of chairs you need when you're playing - that eats up space too..:-)

I'm going to third this and say that if you think a cocktail will take up less room than a regular machine, you are wrong.  If size is a problem, an upright is actually the better choice.

What if you mount the cocktail to your wall?
