Cool NOP, thanks! You should have gotten more props for this where you posted it! I don't have MAME installed on my box right now so I can't run this proggy...so thanks for the output. Can anyone identify which games from that output for both the trackball and spinner games are: "played simultaneously by a player at opposite ends, or alternating plays whereby the action turns 180 degreeswhen it's the other player's go." I keep copying and pasting that because Ren couldn't have phrased it any better. My point is that I'm trying to justify putting either a trackball or spinner on the SECOND PLAYER side of a cocktail cab (ie. Centipede...is there a head to head version of centipede?) If there is only one or two games that support head to head style vertical play with a trackball or spinner, then I won't bother using one or the other on that side. |

I ran the old output back through and checked for "input players=2" which should get you even closer to your goal. (I don't think there are very many 1 player cocktail machines) cocktail, vertical, 2 player, spinner games: moonwar moonwara strtheat kicka tron tron2 tron3 tron4 arknoidj arkbl2 arkbl3 paddle2 arkatayt arkblock arkbloc2 arkangc arknoid2 arknid2u arknid2j blockgal blckgalb tnk3 tnk3j ikari ikarijp ikarijpb victroad dogosoke gwar gwarj gwara gwarb bermudat bermudao bermudaa worldwar jongbou goindol goindolu goindolj gigasb gigasm2b oigas freekick freekckb homo cocktail, vertical, 2 player, spinner games, clones removed: moonwar strtheat tron arknoid2 blockgal tnk3 ikari victroad gwar bermudat jongbou goindol gigasb gigasm2b freekick (this was interesting-there appears to be no original arkanoid 1's-they are all listed as clones!) cocktail, vertical, 2 player, trackball games: poundfor poundfou marinedt bking bking2 bking3 bigevglf capbowl capbowl2 capbowl3 capbowl4 clbowl bowlrama stratab stratab1 mjleague teedoff bladestl bladstle centiped centipd2 centipdb caterplr millpac magworm krzybowl brickzn brickzn3 cocktail, vertical, 2 player, trackball games, clones removed: poundfor marinedt bking bking2 bking3 bigevglf capbowl bowlrama stratab mjleague teedoff bladestl centiped krzybowl brickzn ...and here's reason to take this list with a grain of salt. I noticed that millipede wasn't appearing on the list. Checking the master XML list that MAME generates, there appears to be no dip switch setting to put millipede into cocktail mode, so my program wasn't finding it. Apparantly there is no dipswitch for it, just a hardware pin that may or may not be properly emulated in MAME. Tempest also got itself removed from the list, as MAME is listing it as only 1 player, even though it has a cocktail mode with 2 players alternating play. Not sure why this is. The only simultaneous, trackball, cocktail machine I can think of was that black+white football game. Wasnt it called X's and O's? I think it was an atari game. I'd probably say that it's not worth putting a trackball or spinner onto player 2's side, unless one of the above games is one of your top favorites, and the favorite of whomever you're going to be playing against. Otherwise the expense just isn't worth it. -jeff! |
