Must-Haves For Cocktails?
VespaGuy:
There are several horizontal games that play very well vertically in a cocktail cabinet. In other words, don't rotate the game or put it in cocktail mode, just leave it in it's regular orientation and it'll play full screen head-to-head. Two examples would be Hat Trick and Demolition Derby.

Using the cocktail mode in Mame. This will show the game both up side down and right side up. I'll try and find a screenshot

Wizard of wor and even guantlet! While not perfect for P2 who has a hard time inserting credits for extra life, after adjusting the controls to be rotated properly, gauntlet is totally playable.
For what it's worth, 4 buttons per player for vertical games is pretty useless. there are very few if any 4 button verts that are also cocktail. 3 is nice since you can then put tutankamen on it.

Yup, NOP. Notice I've got gauntlet in that set already? I went with the 2p options, as I'm leaving the side off.

i would just build a 3rd side so you can have a trackball, Spinner, 8 way sticks and centered 4 way stick on the vertical sides. Ever play pacman when the stick is off the left not fun at all. With a horizontal 3rd side it will make having a Cocktail table worth it. other wise it sounds very unperfect and sloppy. :dunno
