4 player games that would work on a cocktail

[paigeoliver]

Looking at my cocktail in progress here I am simply not liking the panel that has the oddball controls on it. It is all sort of functional, but I am not sure if I want to do it that way now.



Now, what if I simply made that panel mostly like the one on the other side (reducing buttons to 3) and put a spinner in the center instead of a trackball.

Now, here is the rub.

How many 4 player games would actually be playable with that setup?

Basically the 4-player games have to have a top down perspective to work properly, as Simpsons would suck from the wrong side, even if your controller was mapped the correct way.

So far I have come up with

Track and Field
Hyper Sports
88 games
Gauntlet
Gauntlet 2
John Elway's Team Quarterback
Kick and Run
Touchdown Fever
Barricade/comotion/checkmate
Cops n Robbers
Smash TV 2 player mode.

If I wanted to use bad controls then I could also add Eliminator and warlords.

Now what else is there? Anything else in Mame? Any console games that would work?

So thats what your doing with your Atari Football cocktail.

Yes, except it isn't an Atari football, it is a Dunk Shot. Very similar cabinet, but not the same as AF.

Paige, they may not be 4 player, but Super Sprint, Indy Heat and Offroad Racing are 3 player, so they almost count - in any case, they shall be going on my 4 player cocktail cabinet that is being designed currently. You could also add in Sprint 4 to have 4 players.

If you wanted to branch out into other emulators, you could add the best soccer/football game ever - Sensible World of Soccer (Amiga). It can be played by 4 players. Not sure exactly how the joystick mapping would work, but I imagine that it would because of the keyboard emulation.
