Your One Top Favorite MAME Game

I'd have to say Time Pilot.  Its the only game that I don't suck at (meaning I can last about 4.5 minutes on a single credit on this game).   

[Roo]

<------


But I'd like to add an honorable mention of Kung-Fu Master  

[KarasuZero]

Asteroids was the game I used to play growing up so I almost always play a game or two.  Although NBA Jam and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles usually gets played almost everytime as well.

[notroubleclubber]

I find if i power up the cab im tending to be adding or changing things than playing games!

However i always play tecmo world cup 90 as i always played it on holiday and my bro always beat me. Now i practise and he hates it coz i always win!

Track n field and TMNT i usually play though on my current cab i dont tend to play Track n field as my buttons dont feel right for it( cheap ones from ebay that dont click!)

[VespaGuy]

Every time I fire up the cabinet, i play at least one game of Ms. Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. If my nephew is over, we always play Hat Trick.

Robotron; Centipede for the wife.

[Lewis Black]

Centipede followed by Galaga

[zallax]

Discs of Tron

[opt2not]

Gyruss and Galaga are tied.

(Robotron would have been it, but I have a dedicated cab for it now! )

[eds1275]

hmmm it seems the answer for many of us cannot be just one

yep

 

[Trebeck]

Black Tiger and speed hack Ms.Pacman


 

[popsicle]

Robotron almost always each time I visit the cab - usually 3 or 4 games in a row (takes 2 games to warmup)

Find myself playing Pinball Action a lot for some reason...

[brad808]

What game is it that you keep finding yourself going back to?  When you sit down at your cab and boot it up, what game do you always play?

For me it's Tetris: The Grand Master 2

For me its Tetris The Grand Master 1... Can I ask why you like number two better? I personally like the first one because 9/10 times I play solo and it has one grid in the centre. In version 2 it always shows the player two grid even if no other player is there.

Grand Master 2 is emulated better and I think it plays better.  You ever play Tetris Plus 2

[WareWolF]

Notice ROBOTRON is the most posted game.   There is a reason for that.   There is no better game, period.

[popsicle]

pssht apparently you haven't played Herbie Goes to the Olympics.  THAT is the greatest game of all time 

[ahofle]

Millipede

+1
For me, Millipede/Robotron are the pinnacle of arcade nirvana.

Ummmm.....

If you allow multiple votes:
Galaga   7
Robotron   6
Donkey Kong   5
Asteroids   4
Ms Pac-man   4
Black Tiger   3
Burger Time   3
TMNT   3
Track and Field   3

If you allow only one vote:
Robotron   4
Asteroids   4
Galaga   3
Ms Pac-man   2
Black Tiger   2
Track and Field   2
Bezerk   2
Centipede   2
Millipede   2
Puzzle Bobble   2
Up 'N Down   2

Not exactly a clear winner there.   Given that the topic is "Your One Favorite MAME Game", I would give the edge to Asteroids.  Every time it has been mentioned up to now it's been that person's first choice (it has 4 votes on each list).

Just saying ....  

Edit: yes I have too much time on my hands tonight 

[Termin8tor]

1943, Arkanoid, Street Fighter 2, Bubble Bobble, Puzzle Fighter 2, if I had to choose just one it would have to be Arkanoid.

[PsychoMikey]

Altough my cab is not completed yet, when it was playable i always ended up playing a few rounds of Golden Tee and Puzzle Loop 2.

[vorghagen]

DAMN YOU JIMMY!!!!!!!  You have no idea how excited I got because I thought there was a highlander arcade game I had never heard of. Looking through my mame listings, all game listings, KLOV and frantic google searching, then it clicked..... 'there can be only one'

I'm sure it wasn't your intention, but I now hate you.

My game: Gyruss.
Time pilot in 2nd place.

[jimmy2x2x]

hahaha

Glad you got there in the end

[DeLuSioNal29]

For me it's usually Ms. Pacman w/ speed hack.  Mostly because my 2 year old wants to see what daddy is playing, so I'm holding him on my lap with 1 arm, while the other hand is playing.

[Otifrank]

I end almost every session with a quick game of 10-yard-fight, just long enough to see if I can return the opening kickoff for a touchdown. I almost never make it. <sigh>

Are you playing the Tampa Bay Bucs?  (oh wait, they finally returned one a few years back - albeit no an opening KO)

[DashRendar]

What is Ms. Pac Man with the speed hack exactly?

[DeLuSioNal29]

I think the specific rom in MAME is called mspacmnf.zip

[andrewbean90]

now that i think about it pac-man, donkey kong, astroids, karate champ, and space invaders.

[Generic Eric]

Great 1000 Miles Rally is my favorite MAME find so far.  There are 7 different versions, but they all play about the same

MAWS link: Great 1000 Miles Rally 2 USA



My runner up game is Donkey Kong Foundry

[pinballwizard79]

I am another Mrs pacman speed hack fan, thats my one I guess.

I think I am too, I never played it before but I am sitting in an airport waiting for my flight and got a good hour of play in and it is a lot better than ms pacman, i dont think ill be able to go back

[taylormadelv]

Stargate. Because Stargate is the greatest game ever created IMO. It CAN be reproduced perfectly in mame, if you take the time to tweak it just right. The explosions are perfect, the sounds are the best ever in an arcade game. The gameplay is as intense as arcade games can get and the controls are complex but can be mastered in a short amount of time. My HS is 171,000 on a 1 credit, 3 ship game.

[eds1275]

I've never played Stargate but here's some useless stuff for you. Back when I was working in Richmond, BC, I made a crap load of the guns for the SG-1 TV show while working at a foam fabrication shop. Not start to finish, but the basic shape of them. I miss working at that place.

...got anything cool from that job?

[eds1275]

Yeah it was a foam fabrication shop so I made everything from mattresses to movie props. I made some skulls for a Masters of Horror film, I made the brick wall that Juggernaut runs through in Xmen 3 [in the movie they used alot of CG as well as the foam of course]. The only wicked things I made for myself was actually my matress. It was a prototype for Serta, but would be too expensive to mass produce. So I just kept the prototype. 3 inches 5 pound memory foam, 3 inches 1.8 lb fire retardant foam. The fire retardant base has a 95 pound per square inch crush rating, so the mattress doesn't bend, but it is the comfiest mattress ever.

I also was living in a rental space at that time so my personal recording studio had a bunch of foam I cut... but I have since moved, sold all of that acoustic foam, and am nearing completion of my renovated studio that doesn't need foam.

I'd play that more if I had a yoke.  But if I see it in the arcades I play it every time.
