Robotron and I think even Omega Race would qualify as similar.

Although I have not played it looks like Black Widow would be similar. Robotron is great and similar in idea as mentioned above

Not an arcade game exactly, but I noticed on this thread
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=7479.msg54791#msg54791
people have talked highly of Mutant Storm which seems very similar.
Mutant Storm is found here

Never could get into Black Widow, even with being an over-the-top Atariphile like I am.

Think it was the use of $ symbols.  What the hell does a spider need with money?!?

Also check out:

SPACE DUNGEON
KRULL
SMASH T.V.


Also, you should be able to find a list of dual joystick games on this site or in MAME32 (you can sort by control type).

For a slight variation, if you like the analog fire of gridwars try a game called "SDI - Strategic Defense Initiative"  It is a scrolling shooter instead of a boxed field but you do control the ship with a joystick and the shooting with your analog solution.
