Favorite MAME games of each category?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Now that I have got MAME full configured, I have been sampling a lot of games. I was wondering what games are the most popular of each category. Here is my list:

Shoot 'em ups: Metal Slug 3
Fighter: Street Fighter II: World Warrior (although, I am really bad at it with a keyboard)
"Classic": Galaga
Beat 'em ups: Battletoads
Light Gun: Point Blank (I wish Time Crisis was playable though)
Sports: Tecmo Bowl (Blitz isn't playable for me and I haven't figured out the DC emulator)
Vertical Shooter: DoDonPachi (Had never played before yesterday... Insanely addictive)
Puzzle: I've got nothing

A lot of these arcade games I never actually played in an arcade since they were before my time, so here I am trying to figure out what is good. What is your list? Feel free to add more genres.

Shoot 'em ups: WTF is in this category?  So many things could be in here...not really sure.
Fighter: To be determined
"Classic": Burgertime
Beat 'em ups: Aliens
Light Gun: none (No lightgun yet)
Sports: Track and Field
Vertical Shooter: Space Invaders (Does that count?)
Puzzle: Tetris or Trog (Is trog a puzzle game?)


Also, where did you get these categories from?  BEcause one thing I hate is the MAME 'category' files categories...they kind of are 'lacking' imho.  But, that's me. :)

I just picked genres based on what I was most interested in hearing about. There are a lot of games I just overlook because there are so many, I wanted to see what the most popular of various genres would be.
