Good PS1 games for a cabinet?

[Trebeck]

Any favorites out there that were made for a cab?

I put on the Gradius and Parodius games and they work great.

Einhander. If you like gradius and parodius you'll love it. One of my favourites from around 200+ PS1 games I've played. Give raystorm/rayforce a go too 

[Turnarcades]

All the best fighting games of the era, which ended up as better ports than the arcade versions and are emulated better, such as the Tekken series, Soul Edge, Rival Schools, Tohshinden series, Thrill Kill and Street Fighter EX. If you got analog control like a trackball or spinner, the Ridge Rcer and Gran Turismo games are great too. Other favourites are Micro Machines and Micro Maniacs, MK Trilogy and Doom.

The computer in my cabinet isn't fast enough to run Ehrgeiz, NFL Bllitz, Strider 2, Tekken series, Bushido Blade, Tobal, etc, so I use PSX for those, along with most of the other games mentioned above.

Thanks guys,

Yah I was wondering about games that didn't have to use an analog stick, but Einhander looks really interesting.

Raiden Project.... a great port of my fav vertical shooters...
Strikers 1945
The various Namco/misc arcade collections
Bubble Bobble
Metal Slug X
Xevious 3d+G
Symphony of the night
R-Types
Parappa/Um Jammer Lammy
Buster Bros Collection

... and many more. I built a PS1 bartop, there are so many! Unfortunately, many are on the rarer side. PS1 games were much more consistent with digital controls than PS2 games (Damn you, Mega Man Anniversary Collection, and your refusal to work with my digital stick!).

Symphony of the night would be pretty slick on a cab..

R-Type Delta, which I think was a Japanese import only.

[scofthe7seas]

Hahaha you absolutely can not play Ape Escape on a control panel. Not without more arms than a person has.

Plus it requires dual analog.

[newmanfamilyvlogs]

Whoops. I didn't even think about that. 
I bet you could do it with a pair of flightsticks though, with a few buttons on them.
