Dual Stick Goodness

Besides the obvious King of the dual stick games, Robotron, what are some other good two stick games? 

Space Dungeon - greatness. 

Battlezone - dunno if that "really" counts or not, but it, too, is greatness.

What else?

One you don't see listed much is Loose Screw (or is it Screw Loose?) it's a prototype game.

I'd add Rescue (Stern) to the list of great ones, even though it's relatively unknown. Also, even though the original didn't use dual 8 ways (4 way/2 way), Tutankham plays great.

Don't forget Krull.  I missed that one growing up and a local arcade had it (I missed a chance to buy it cheap, and it was in excellent shape :hissy:).  It's no Smash TV, but it's still fun.

I'd add Karate Champ to the great list.  Brings back memories.

Awesome game right here! Playing it on dual 8 ways doesn't work so well, but doing the Up not left not right trick works on it pretty good.

The Vs. mode was even more fun! I just need a panel with 4 sticks on it now!

Not one minute after I posted that I realized I forgot Crazy Climber and I knew you'd correct my error.

Guess I gotta fire that one up and give it a fair shot.  I've always hated it.  :(
