Need help determining if this game is 2 player or not!

according to the information, the gameplay is 2 players simultaneous. When you look at the game they have in the picture, the control panel only has 1 joystick with the buttons.

I played this a lot when I was younger, but I cannot remember if I played against my buddy, or we took turns against the computer.

I am asking because I am going to build one of these, and I want to make the control panel 2 player if it is truly a head on head 2 player game.
 
This is where MAME comes in handy. I pulled it up and played both 1 and 2 player games. In a 1-player game, you play against the computer until you are defeated. In a 2-player game, player 1 plays until you either lose the first round, or you defeat the first opponent, then the 2nd player gets a turn at the same opponent. Play alternates back and forth as you beat opponents. if any player is defeated, the other player continues to play until they are defeated.

No option given to play against each other. The KLOV entry should be changed...
 
Could just be a extra temporary cp that was put in place of the original cp.

No I seem to remember now that we took turns against the computer.

I don't think this game was ever dedicated. Just a kit.


Oh and thanks mod. It will be a lot easier making a CP with one joystick and 3 buttons vs making it for 2 players.

You might want to consider the 6 button layout shown in the KLOV entry - that works for players of either handedness, while a 3 button layout only works for one or the other.
