Remember the table top arcade games you would sit down and play? There were games like PAC MAN, GALAGA, and some others I can't think of. Anyway you would sit at it like a table and some one else could sit at the other end and play against you, when it was your turn the screen would flip over to your side. You would normally see these at pizza joints but I haven't seen one in years.

The only one I've played is "Ms. Pac-Man".

"Arkanoid" WOULD be fun to play on a sit-down table! :D
Trust me Sonic64, that little knob in the machine is frustating.

Are you sure? :?
I own a machine like this.
I have before played Ms Pac Man on one of those.
I've also played a Space Invaders-esque submarine game on one, too.
I've also played Popeye and Pac Land on some as well.

Yes I certainly remember these, they are commonly referred to as cocktail tables. I remember playing these at our former A&W many years back. They also have one at the Seaside, Oregon arcade. I played Galaga on it last year, I think it was.
Actually I already made a thread on this a while back, here it is:

I never saw a tabletop machine in real life but I always thought they looked cool.
I'd like to own a cocktail table and play rounds of Batsugun with it's original PCB, so Bomberman and TurboDuo won't beat my ass because I'm using an emulator.
I'd rather have the original PCB boards of the arcade games as well, but changing them to a different game would be frustrating or actually in disguise easy.
Lastly, with the PCB Batsugun, I'll have no buggy graphics, no missing sounds as well, and music available. To bad Grind Stormer is rare because I want to hear the original arcade music.

I play Mrs.Pacman for the sit down arcade it was both a ralxing and fun experience.

....because you're looking downward instead of holding your head upright in the natural position. It's not ergonomic.
