Summary	08456: pignewt: When playing 2 player in cocktail mode, player's 1 and 2 use joystick 1. Screen also doesn't rotate.
Description	First, the screen doesn't rotate for player 2 in cocktail mode. Second, When playing 2 players in Pig Newton while in Cocktail mode, both player 1 and player 2 use the same joystick and buttons (player 1's controls). This breaks the ability to play cocktail mode. Note: If these should be 2 separate reports, I apologize. I'm not sure if 2 issues related to cocktail mode should be considered part of one problem or two separate problems.
Steps To Reproduce	Start game in cocktail mode. Start 2 player game. During player 2's turn the screen won't rotate, and player 2 must use player 1's joystick.

No.20655 Tafoid Administrator Oct 21, 2022, 20:29	I can concur on the screen flipping correctly as Robbbert posted. The F2 issue showing a supposed test mode as garbled graphics might be related to this being an incomplete game, or a bad rom. A check of the source file mentions: Known bugs: * Pig Newton doesn't read cocktail controls (might be game bug) Given that it is a technically a non-released prototype game - cocktail function may or may not have been intended or made functional at the time this failed play testing/test marketning stage. I'm changing this to a KNOWN BUG from source. The screen rotates fine and works (outside of the control issue detailed in source).
