I've been building a cocktail style arcade machine for a friend and i know pac-man and galaga have the automatic switching for it to rotate for the 2nd player, but what other games have this ability that i could put on this machine?

Time Pilot maybe? :thot: I do remember seeing that as a tabletop more than once back in the day but it was so long ago now I can't be 100% certain it auto switched for players. Most probably did.
Some other possibilities:
Space Invaders.
Galaxian.
1942.
Dig Dug.
Frogger.
Gyruss.
Xevious.
Arkanoid.
Moon Cresta.
Edit:
Looked up Time Pilot and apparently the tabletop versions are very rare, like not many official ones were made. It has auto switching for 2 player mode.
Funny because I've seen at least 2 when I was younger and I don't even live in the states :lol But yeah uprights were very common.
I remember Super Mario Brothers had a tabletop version too.
Setting the dip switch in each game to cocktail will make it so that the screen automatically flips when its player 2's turn. If you're just wanting to rotate the screen, you can go to MAME menu > Video options > rotate. If games didn't have a cocktail version there's no automatic screen flipping available as far as I know.
Found a list after a Google search, and a tool that let's you search your roms for cocktail support. Credit to the guy (hargle) who made the tool

None of this work is mine, I've only linked you to the forum that contains the info you want. All credit to the authors and members of that site.
I can't see Arkanoid on that list but I'm sure 2 player tabletop machines exist :shrug:
