Title: favourite cocktail cab games
Post by: danny_galaga on June 01, 2004, 02:19:38 am

ok, now i've built my cocktail cab i'd like to see what games are your favourites on one. i'm particularly intersted in simultaneous two player games suitable for cocktails. for instance (and to get the ball rolling) Space Duel is great on a cocktail since you can have two players on at once and it doesnt matter which way you sit. AND you can shoot each other which is always fun (",).

Also i have two versions of raiden. one i play normally and the other has both sets of controls configured so that two players can play it horizontally (scrolling  sideways instead of downwards)

Quite honestly, the only cocktail cab I can really remember playing on was a Ms. Pacman.  This happens to be one of my top ten favs so I guess that makes it cool but it isn't really a two player simultaneous game.

Nah...don't think thats it.  I am willing to bet most people were at work.

My favorite was pengo.  But I never saw too many cocktail cabinets.

Would "Quarters" count? A quarter bounces really well on the tempered glass top of a cocktail cab. ;)

Honestly, the only cocktail cab I ever really played much was an Omega Race.

I am a big fan of Tekkan Soccer (or tekkan world cup) on a cocktail table.  You just remap the controls on player 2 and your all set.  

Good times ;)
