Any Game List Ideas? [Done]
harveybirdman:
For ball and paddle with a joystick I like Bestri, maybe not better than Haze's suggestion of Gunbarich though. That game is awesome.
I also think if you want to consider some cross hair shooters, other than the fine examples already mentioned (Cabal and Blood bros) one also might want to look at Rambo III or Nam-1975, both add a scrolling component.

Bestri is the prequel to Jumping Break I mention (actually it's a 3-in-1 with the title standing for 'Best Trio' The game you're talking about is Die Break which is the first game in the selection)
I wanted to avoid mentioning the multi-games, because while they can be pretty good (I really like the Pacman Arranged verrsion on Namco Classic Collection Vol.2) I imagine it's somewhat confusing to have to choose your game, then choose your game again ;-)
Action Hollywood is another more obscure one.
Surely either Ghosts 'n' Goblins or Ghouls and Ghosts has to make the cut too? Those are staple arcade titles, and while I've never been a fan of the former (it's considered a classic but too frustrating for an arcade game IMHO) the latter is easily one of the most memorable arcade titles.
If you're really determined to get it down to 200 without excluding major titles then you're going to have to start picking your favourite game from the various series rather than putting them all in.
The King of Fighters 10th Anniversary 2005 Unique is a bootleg of Kof 2002, I'm not sure why that is on your list at all, unless you actually prefer it over the original?

This was my recommendation. I figure if it's a list designed with guests in mind then this is a good game to have on there. I get repeated requests for it just because of the massive selection of playable characters. It isn't like its a "clone" of kof 2002 but more a hack of it with a bunch more characters added. I don't know how well balanced it is but I know the people that play it aren't good enough for any characters to be cheap.
So many people to choose from :lol
dgame:
My setup has two UltraStik 360 analog joysticks always in analog mode so I can play most analog stick games and MAME automatically maps 4/8 way games.
Just tested Super Hang-On and while quite playable with the U360 analog I removed it from the list along with some of the other one player Sega games. They will be easily available on The Big List if someone asks.
Also cleaned up the shooters using suggestions. Removed Cave SH3 games so the list will work for the masses. I’ll make a separate Cave SH3 List and hide it like The Big List.
I went with Bestri Jumping Break as it has co-op game play. I can’t get past the first stage in Ghouls and Ghosts so it stays off unless I expand the list to 250 games? We will see as more suggestions come in.
I prefer Street Fighters so I go with forum members advice on the other fighting franchises.

Thanks for advice.
harveybirdman:
Haze I don't know if you'd count Jungler in the head on family you mentioned, but it's kind of cool as well. I grabbed counter run at your suggestion, thanks!
dgame here are my concerns (remember this is just IMHO so take it with a grain of salt)
Blades of steel... Okay I guess I get it, nostalgia, but On 2 Open Ice and Hat Trick are better hockey fun in my book
Similar concern on Altered Beast, it's a total classic, but well.... at least take a look at Metamorphic Force before you commit to AB.
Crime fighters & Silent Dragon (I think you enjoy beat em ups, you have many in this list, for me these don't stand up as well and you should think about some other Beat em up types such as Guardians Denjin Makai 2, Age of Heroes, Dynasty Wars, Ganryu, Growl, Hook, Nemo, Night Slashers, Oriental Legend, The Crystal of Kings, Vamf 1/2, Wild West C.O.W. boys of Moo Mesa. I'm sorry but Night Slashers kicks Silent Dragon's ASS!
Both Jousts? I don't know about that one
MIA AND POW? Especially when you have Thunder Fox which is my favorite of the three
Prehistoric isle in 1930? I can think of a million better horizontal shooters than this (starting with it's sequel and Xexex which I already mentioned)
The Return of Istar?
Toypop?
