Pictures / comments of Missile Command playing on vertical setup

Does anyone have any photos of the Missile Command playing on a vertical monitor (like the one in the Centipede/Millipede/Missile Command combo board? I'm looking for comments also about the game play. does it play about the same as the original, horizontal game, or are there noticeable differences?
 
They have a Centipede / Millipede / Let's Go Bowling / Missile Command at a bar by my house. Missile Command is basically unplayable. It takes more then one roll of trackball to move from the bottom of the screen to the top, so if you have to defend a base because you missed a incoming missile, you will never make it in time. I can normally get to about the 10th stage on a normal machine, but on the vertical I was struggling to get the the 3rd stage.

I can confirm this, based on my own experience.

Missile Command, vertical flavor, blows.
 
I have not played it on Arcade SD for awhile or the Arcadeshop board but I think they cropped to fit so it really is probably the same on that platform as playing a cocktail or mini plus you can adjust trackball settings.
