Cocktails - 1 player or 2? Decisions...
<< < (2/2)
Goz:
I've got a cocktail and it usually is configured for screen flipping for playing classic verticals in 2 player mode. I also have a matching set of control panels for trackball and 4 way to swap when I feel like the track ball games.  It really is all up to preference and how you will use it.

My panels are not identical, but they do both have a four way stick because it is the four way (and two way) games that I remember playing on cocktails.

I don't really dig the 3 sided cocktails. Something about them irks me, probably how most of them seem based off the Midway design, but they completely butcher the lines of the cabinet.

A custom designed 3 sided one where a single panel wraps around 3 sides would probabably look a lot better.

There are also some larger cocktails (Atari Football, Track & Field, Dunk Shot, Jack the Giantkiller, etc), that have a full sized 24" wide control panel on each side.

Personally, I find 2-player simultaneous games more fun than 2-player alternating.
