Which games are better as a cocktail?

Zaxxon cocktails are great because people don't notice your boner as much.
A future generation Zaxxon cocktail owner start a thread on KLOV 25-50 years from now.....

"Why does my Zaxxon cocktail have mysterious holes drilled in the control panel?, and why is there glue all over inside the cabinet?, and is this the way the game rolled off the factory floor?

(Think of the BattleZone U/R threads for our time)
 
Sold it right before the pandemic, but I was an early bird kickstarter backer of the Unis Pong coffee table, and when it finally arrived 1,000 years later I was super impressed. Didn't own it long as I was getting out of the hobby back then, but it was really well made, a lot of fun, popular with friends & family, and I do wish I'd kept it. Have played a couple of the commercial models since, but they weren't as impressive as the coffee table. Dunno how they've held up, but I liked that thing.

i love my Red Tent, but don't get to play head to head as much as id like.

Baseball
Tennis

What else uses both screens at once?

And whats the simultaneous play on one side games?
Wrecking Crew and Balloon Fight both use both screens at once.

Vs Dr Mario gets you simultaneous on one side play, as does Vs Ice Climber, Vs RBI, and I think Vs Tetris as well?

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
 
Cocktails take the space of 3 games.
They also go in spaces where another upright won't work, say the middle of a room without obstructing the view of the games around them. You can squeeze in that 1 or 2 more games into your collection....their form factor have their place, IMO!

My vote, would be the beautiful Space Duel Cocktail, mine:

Agreed, middle of a space is the best use of the cocktail form factor for the reasons you pointed out.
 
I absolutely hate cocktails. However, games like Solomon's Key are great as a cocktail.. because that game has 50 levels or so.. so games that tend to be longer.
