I guess I should have been more specific.  Side scrollers that come to a conclusion or games where you can select one path to victory and go for it (NBA Jam for example).

Pernsonally, i ma after games that are fun that I have not played before that I can try and beat to make things more fun.

Beatable implies a goal to achieve. So why separate Pac-man from the other games. Pac-man is considered beaten if you get a perfect game all the way to and including the last screen. There may not be a fancy ending or trophy awarded over a dead boss, but once you do it no one can top you, and you'll have a score that can't be beaten.

I always go back to the beat 'em ups. Bad dudes, crude buster, etc. Sailor Moon has surprisingly good gameplay as well. I really enjoy the Sengoku series.

One of those top-down shooters..  Has a really odd message at the end before the credits (you can see on YouTube)...  But if you pump enough quarters in, you just can't lose.  That's why I ended up selling mine off.  Stopped being fun after the first couple of times  :P  But worth it to read through the ending just once...
