cocktail cabinets question

(1/3) > >>

Nefesis:
i was thinking about cocktail cabinets and have recalled that some are 4-player, 1 on each side. if this is so, how does the picture on the monitor/screen appear upright to all 4 people? or is it upside down to some? do a lot of games use cocktail cabinets, or are they just a novelty?

paigeoliver:
There are a scant few (and I MEAN SCANT) games that came in the 4-player cocktail format. All of which were designed for it.

Warlords.
Quadrapong
Elimination (and several other Pong versions).
Atari Football
Eliminator (4 player version).
and (I think) Tehkan World Cup.

I can't think of any others. It is not a common form factor, and it takes an INSANE amount of floor space.

danny_galaga:
demolition derby seems to be four player cocktail too

Nefesis:
ah. was joust ever made for a cocktail cabinet? and does anyone know anything about the monitor part?

whammoed:
Joust was made in cocktail style.  Very cool, different cabinet it was.
