I'm planning a home arcade and may set up Pizza Hut-style booths around cocktails. Any games you can think of hat are particularly awesome in cocktail form? Warlords is a given. What others?
 
I always liked the way the Joust cocktail looked.

I'm particularly interested in cocktail games where the gameplay is better for more than one person because it is in cocktail form. Warlords is the only one I can think of!
 
Cocktails are interesting because I always run across people who are more familiar with playing games in that format than uprights. They never stepped foot into an arcade BIID, but they were in bars & restaurants all the time. And they always speak fondly of them by saying, "Two people could play at once!"

Pac-Man and Galaga were so ubiquitous that they'd probably be considered "must-haves". Centipede, too.
 
I think Space Duel fits the bill :) The best vector cocktail IMO. Adds to the play being a Cocktail table.
 
I restored a Missile Command CT for a friend a while back and had never seen one before. It's a really good CT. Once the trackballs are restored/rebuilt it's a solid little cabinet and pizza grease keeps the TB's going fast.
 
Any Pac game in cocktail form is good. People don't seem to understand Super Pac very well, though. Galaga is another good one for a cocktail. Tempest plays pretty well in a cocktail table. Good luck finding one, though.
 
I like the 2 I own, Donkey Kong and Millipede. Other than playing, I think the coolest feature is sitting across from someone and getting a really good view of their game.

Warlords
Ms. Pac

These two are so far my must haves. I have a Pac-Man upright, so it makes sense to get a ms Pac-Man cocktail. Every time I've played this version with my wife, we've really dug it.

Anyone played Mr. And Mrs Pac-Man in the 96-in-1 kit? Cooperative Pac-Man sounds like it would be great if done right. The SNES version is the only cooperative version that I have played.

A recent party he says... hahahahaha!! :p


I prefer the multi cock... tail game. That way you have a lot to choose from if you don't like just one
 
love em

Cocktails forever!

Here's my two tokens..

Get an original Pac Man cocktail if you can find one, they are scarce compared to the Ms. !
