VS. System: Difference between revisions

The '''VS. System''' is a collection of coin-operated VS. UniSystem or VS. DualSystem arcade systems that first appeared in [[1984]]. As their name implies, the video games are designed for two-player competitive play. The VS. UniSystem is like a conventional upright arcade cabinet with two sets of controls and a single screen. The VS. UniSystem can either come as a dedicated gray cabinet or be a conversion from ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', or ''[[Popeye]]'' cabinets. It is not possible to convert the dedicated wide-body ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' cabinets or the ''[[Punch-Out!! (arcade1984 game)|Punch-Out!!]]'' cabinets. The VS. DualSystem comes with two screens and four sets of controls. The upright type looks like two machines conjoined at an angle while the sit-down type is red and lets players face each other. The latter was renamed VS. Table.<ref>''VS.
