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

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.
