| Ultimate Vertical Gamelist (4-Way, 1 Button). GO! |

Something wrong there: Karate Champ (US) is on that list. Karate Champ is 2 4-way sticks. |

yes, some grains of salt are required. romlister is merely a data mining (search engine) tool and: <control name="Dual 4-way Joysticks"> <constant name="doublejoy4way"/> </control> matches <control name="4-way Joystick"> <constant name="joy4way"/> </control> when you're just searching for "joy4way" I'm just about to release a new version of romlister; I'll modify the default search criteria for that. thanks for bringing that to my attention. |

Thanks NOP. Romlister is great. I guess the question I really want to ask is what out of this list am I missing on mine that is FUN and worth having on a cab (it will actually get played)?? I supposed I could add these marginally OK games: - Circus Charlie (Selectable level set 1) - Congo Bongo - Gals Panic (doubtful - this is for the kids!) - Lock'n'Chase - Radar Scope - Space Invaders Part II - Super Qix (don't you need 2 buttons for this?) Thoughts??? |

I think loco-motion is fun. Pandora's Palace is also a great game. Oddly enough, i don't see it in the list I generated, and that's a little scary to me-need to investigate why that got dropped. Sometimes i like adding games that are more of a wtf? than fun to play, streaking and disco #1 certainly qualify there. super qix does claim to be 1 button, according to controls.dat There are also some horizontal games that work pretty well in vertical mode on a true arcade monitor. You just have to find games that while horizontal, have a square enough resolution to be workable on a vertical. Perhaps trying any of these as well: --- Code: ---Arm Wrestling Avalanche Blasto Blockade Blue Shark Canyon Bomber Chameleon Clowns (rev. 2) Comotion D-Day Dead Eye Diamond Run Don Den Mahjong [BET] (Japan) Flicky (128k Ver.) Flyball Frogs Guided Missile Gun Fight Gypsy Juggler Hana Awase (Flower Matching) Hang-On Jr. Head On (2 players) Head On 2 Hustle Idol Janshi Su-Chi-Pie Special Lovely Cards Mahjong Mahjong Channel Zoom In Mahjong Derringer (Japan) Mahjong Diplomat [BET] (Japan) Mahjong Friday (Japan) Mahjong Kakumei Mahjong Kakumei 2 - Princess League Mahjong Studio 101 [BET] (Japan) Mario Bros. (US) Megatack Minesweeper Minesweeper (4-Player) Minivader NATO Defense Ojanko Club (Japan) Pastel Gal (Japan 851224) Penguin-Kun Wars (US) Pirate Ship Higemaru Raiders5 River Patrol (bootleg) Royal Mahjong (Japan) Sea Wolf Space Encounters Star Fire (set 1) Star Fire 2 Street Football Thief Time Tunnel Tonton [BET] (Japan) Truco-Tron Warlords Zoo Keeper (set 1) --- End code --- edit: here's the pandora's palace issue: <control name="4-way Joystick"> <constant name="joy4way"/> </control> <input players="2" control="joy8way" buttons="1" coins="3"/> So controls.dat says it's a 4way, MAME says it's an 8way. MAME seems to do this a lot. I think the default controls are 8way, and the devs sometimes forget to update the xml data... |

OK, here is the "unofficial" list: - Donkey Kong - Donkey Kong II - Donkey Kong Jr. - Donkey Kong 3 - Pac-man - Ms. Pac-man - Jr. Pac-man - Super Pac-man - Pac & Pal - Pac-man Plus - Frogger - Dig Dug - Mr. Do! - Mr. Do!'s Castle - Galaxian - Galaga - Galaga '88 - Crush Roller - Space Invaders - Ladybug - Burger Time - Mappy - Pengo - Journey - Circus Charlie - Radar Scope I have also added "Tapper" to the list even though it is a horizontal game... I'm not sure about it but my friends really love this one. I'm also tempted to add Tetris and Klax and some other 4-way, one button horizontal games. What are people's thoughts on this? |
