Hat Trick is a seriously great hockey game.
It is. Simple, great gameplay. Much better vs human then vs computer. Additionally, I am hopelessly addicted to it's 2 on 2/top down Soccer cousin -
Power Play, but I love the vs computer game play on this one. Never tried vs. human on this 'cause I didn't know it in the arcade and my mame controller is single player.
How about
Golden Tees '97, '98, '99 and 2k. Great fun.
Bowling games w/ trackball are fun too.
Krazy bowl is silly, loud and loads of fun to play. A great beer drinking game. A more serious bowling game with great game play is
World Class bowling. Same makers as Golden Tee.
