Common Popular Game Lists

[micahman33]

Is there a sticky anywhere where people have shared their common game lists? I know everyone has their own opinion when it comes to top games/classics, etc, but even a rough start would be a good starting point. I just finished my cabinet, and have a few lists set up from romlister, but going from a full rom set down to manageable lists seems tough....

More specifically, I'm looking for games that people can just pick up and play. My fiance really loves puzzle bobble/bust-a-move, and I've been trying to figure out some more games she might like. Anyone else have girlfriends/wives that play that would care to suggest any games? I'd be more than happy to share the lists I've come up with so far, but I feel like they have to be lacking. Anyone who has set up many machines and has a few "default" lists would be a great help.

If you click the link in my sig, I recently wrote a post about games that might fit the bill.  My focus was more on "party games" but I think the criteria are probably pretty similar to what you're asking for.

Great post...good review of each game...In all honesty I have never heard of any of those with the exception of Golden Tee, so I'll have to check them all out.

Tetris and/or Mortal Kombat.  At least if my g/f is anything to go by.

Great, thanks for all the input...I'm trying all these games out tonight with her...well see how it goes. Surprisingly, she really likes the 1941 style game as well...so that's cool with me.
