The monitor is currently vertical. 'Tate' is short for 'rotate' - as in move it to a horizontal position.
not quite
Tate: Viewing mode available in some vertscrollers which displays the playing field at full size, rotated 90 degrees to the right. Designed to be used on certain monitors which can be turned on their sides, so as to display the game on a vertically-oriented manner similar to an arcade monitor. The preferred screen format of most shmup players, but it cannot be used on most televisions, since turning standard sets on their sides can break them. Can be used as a verb, as in “I tated my monitor to play this game.” Also presented as “Arcade Mode” or “Full-Screen Mode.”
”Tate” is a shortened form of the Japanese verb “tateru,” which means “to stand.” Pronounced “tah-teh,” though the common mispronunciation of “tayte” has gained semi-acceptance. Also commonly spelled with all capital letters (“TATE”), though it is not an acronym.
Yoko: (also Widescreen) Refers to the default viewing mode of certain vertscrollers, which are intended to be displayed on a horizontal screen, and whose playfield, as a result, is fully viewable without the use of TATE mode. Sometimes also called “4:3” shmups, since a horizontal screen’s area is based on a ratio of 4 (width) to 3 (height), as opposed to the “3:4” ratio of vertical screens.
The word “yoko” comes from a Japanese adjective which means “horizontal.”0 -

Indeed, but I meant in the context of Urbanlege's post, in which he used 'tate' as an abbreviation of the english word 'rotate'

They're dedicated mini cabs for the game Mushi King.
Some people have converted them to jamma for a tiny cab. They used to be a really cheap way of getting a mini cab but have been creeping up in value the last while.
Here's by far the nicest one out there, converted to a dedicated Ghoul's n Ghosts cab.
(actually this is a Dinoking and not a Mushi king, different game. Same cab though)
