Other Vertical games using a 2 way Joystick and fire button.

Thinking of making a Galaga switchable with ??? into a stock Galaga using a JAMMA switcher like the one from Mike's Arcade.

What other games used Left, Right and fire?

Galaxian is the only one that comes to mind, but I'm interested in something mainstream and exciting to play. The board should also must have a fairly simple connector / pinout. (yeah I'm lazy when it comes to making adapters!)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Already thought about this with a 48-in-1 board. Phoenix, Moon Cresta, SI, SID, Galaga, Galaxian, King and Balloon, etc etc.
 
Whoops my mistake lol. Is the control panel difficult to open where you couldn't open it to switch the joystick restrictor to toggle between 2-4-8 way?

My Gyruss is 8-way/1 button and I regularly plug Circus Charlie into it and play with no problems...
 
My Galaga cabinet has a 48-n-1 JAMMA card and an 8 way joystick and it plays all of the games (Centipede really sucks though using a joystick). I did cheat and added a second button for those games that use it.

Thanks for the replies, I reckon I could use 1p start as shield or something, but it's not intuitive for the novice to use that.

I think so far Moon Cresta or Super moon Cresta is the best bet.

SI wouldn't run on the same monitor, so maybe some new JAMMA version of SI.

Gaplus or Galaga 88 would be good options.

The Pleiades I played didn't have a warp button on it. I feel like I got snookered!
