What cocktail games allow 2 player simultaneous play?
« on: April 30, 2003, 09:32:23 pm »
I've been going through every game in my cocktail cab; setting the dip switches to cocktail, fixing resolutions and whatever. I've only come accross 2 games out of 1200 that allow two players to play at the same time with a vertical cocktail table setup.

These are Laser and Hot Shots Tennis.

Does anyone know of any others? It seems over 99% of cocktail games were turn based rather than simultaneous.

I think Demolition Derby really was a cocktail. Came with a 25" monitor IIRC.

Yeah, what I should have said was a "traditional" cocktail.  It was a standup table.  I still have the control panels from it, but not the table itself.

How did I not notice Tetris before? I've been addicted to multiplayer Gameboy Tetris since the begining of time, but this completely rocks!
(and yes, I realise I said 'this rocks' and I am completely sober, well 90% anyways)

You can set up Gauntlet, Super Sprint, Indy 500, etc...

Poke around for 2 player horizontal games, then set it so that the screen doesn't flip, then remap the controls relative to the view from the ends of the cocktail.

My 2 cents... ;D

Awesome!  I spend one whole vacation visiting my grandparents playing that, or begging my grandparents to take me to the arcade so I could play it. ::)
Four player, standup horizontal, two on each side.  Haven't seen one of these since forever. :'(


Back to topic
Atari football, atari soccer (need trackballs for both).  There's four player versions, too.  
They're really horizontal games, but for atarifb at least, it's better played on a vertical cocktail when showing the football plays selection art (needed so you can tell what play you're running).

Wow! I don't know why I didn't realize this before. I completely left out a lot of horizontal games that would work just as well in a vertical cocktail setup.
How could I have left out Asteroids? Oh, the shame!  :'(
