Joust 2 is a 2 player game, not a 2 joystick game. Both players have 2 buttons though - flap and transform. Tatsujin/Truxton and Arabian get my votes. |

I'm thinking of building a dedicated vertical cab and did a little research. With about 1 hour of web search for "Mame", "vertical", "favorite" and/or "best", I compiled the following list. Items have been included if someone/anyone mentioned them as good or favorite. A few very modern (year 2000+) Japanese games have been omitted. I have confirmed through klov.com that all games are vertical. I'm sure some will not meet my tastes. Your mileage may vary... 1941 1943 Aero Fighters Ajax Anteater Arabian Arkanoid Bagman Blue Print Bomb Jack Bump 'n Jump Burgertime Centipede Commando Congo Bongo Contra Dig Dug Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. Eagle Exerion Frogger Galaga Galaxian Gorf GunNail Gyruss Heavy Barrel Joust 2 Juno First Kicker Legendary Wings macross Mappy Millipede Moon Cresta Mr. Do Mr. Do's Castle Ms. Pac-Man Nibbler Pac-Man Pengo Phoenix pooyan Q*bert Qix Raiden Rescue Roc'n Rope Satan's Hollow Scramble Sinistar Sky Shark Son of Phoenix Space Invaders Spy Hunter Star Force Strikers 1945 Super Zaxxon Tatsujin Tempest The End Time Pilot Tron Truxton Truxton 2 Tutankham Twin Eagle Vanguard Vanguard II Varth Viper Phase 1 Volfied Xevious Zaxxon |

It would definitely have saved me a bit of time, plus the lists are probably more accurate regarding the roms popularity. Unfortunately, when I use their advanced filter, and filter on "vertical", and "one or more votes", and has an average of "enough votes" (whatever that means), the list contains more than 1400 games. Oh, but wait... Just played with it a bit more. (Glad I didn't hit the post button earlier). Using Deluxe Search, Results = "Hall of Fame", Orientation = "vertical", then Search Button, then clicking on "Votes" heading, gives list ordered by popularity of vertical games. Instead of posting the results here, I'll leave it up to the reader as a homework assignment. Thanks, leapinlew, for the info. |
