So many classic arcade games- Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, etc. had vertical monitors. I know there are several shooters (Mostly on the SegaSaturn) that offer a tate option (play the game full-screen with the picture rotated vertically) but are there any console ports of classic arcade games that let you do that?
I haven't played many of the collections available for the major consoles now, all I have is Midway Treasures vol1. But I wouldn't imagine any of the others offer the vertical feature, I read something on the shmups.com forums about companies not wanting to be liable for people screwing up their TVs by turning them on their sides.
Right now I play the old games in their "original form" by emulating them with MAME on an Xbox. I suppose my only other option is to buy a Supergun and get the original boards. But, that's kind of a hassle...
