Thanks for the suggestions.

EDIT: Which Puzzle Bobble version is the best?

The cabinet has a 27” monitor so Ninja Warriors (letterbox) should be okay, if not I can remove it later.

Cynicaster, The Big List with all games will be available if needed. I think people who have built MAME cabs and have had guests over can provide valuable insight. I am interested in fun co-op games. Many of the games suggested are new discoveries to me. Feel free to mention some of the gems you have found. Thanks.

My personal favourite is 3, I kinda like Super too, but the emulation isn't very good (slow and missing music)

2 isn't bad either, but the NeoGeo port is an ugly butchered version of the Taito F3 original.

dgame,

This thread is awesome. Thanks for making it and to everyone else for suggestions. I'll be looking for similar style games once I get my cab up. Many of these games are ones I haven't ever heard of, so I will definitely want to sit down and try them at that time. Once you have your game list "finalized," is there a way of making it downloadable? I'll be using Mala as a frontend as well if that matters.

Thoughts on balance... You have about 56 Beat em ups which makes up nearly 28% of your list.  If you decide to trim from anything it should probably be from this category.  Especially when you also have 31(15.5% of total) Run N Guns which is a similar family of game. 

Other thoughts on category distribution:  Depending on what you call a "classic" you have about 20 of them. 18 or so Vertical SHMUPS and 9 or so Horizontal SHMUPS. 

You have 18 sports games including driving and wrestling as well as 22 VS fighting games and 9 platformers. 6 puzzle games, 3 crosshair shooters, 3 maze, 2 hard to classify into one category, 1 mini game, and 1 breakout.



I think there are a bunch more horizontal shooters I'd have over Silkworm...  I'll check my cab and post some suggestions.  I think you could stand to add a few of more from this category (bias on my part)

Ninja Clowns still bothers me a little, but it's your list.  Again make sure to play-test Ninja Baseball Batman.

Wrestling games... Okay I guess I get having a few, but Mat Mania or Mania Challenge over something like Muscle Bomber Duo?

You only have 9 Platformers, and that's including Sonic and Super Mario Bros.  You might want to switch out one of the Snow Bros with something else like Tumble pop or Head Panic for some variety.

Ninja Combat... eh.... it's okay but struggles to be either a RUN N GUN or a Beat em UP IMHO.

How many Joysticks you got again?  If you don't have 4 oriented so that they can be utilized effectively I'd drop Smash TV, otherwise you're only going to have one play authenticity.  Love the game though and if it can be controlled in 2p to your liking definitely keep it.

I'd agree here, although I suspect Ninja Clowns must be on there due to a personal love of the game

I was thinking there were a few too many wrestling games when I said drop Superstars, but again I figure the OP must like Wrestling games

Head Panic isn't very good, as much as a fan of Korean games as I am it doesn't hold up well, it's too stiff so I wouldn't recommend it.  Joe & Mac Returns is up there already for the Data East ones (I consider that the 3rd part of the Tumble Pop, Diet Go Go and Joe Mac Returns trilogy, all are good games tho)  For that style of game I really like Zupapa on the NeoGeo which manages to offer something different / unique.

It's a rather average Neo title, but I can see why some people might like it.

Of course the list is still missing what I would consider to be the single best game Taito ever made.. The New Zealand Story (and picking your favourite version of that is a challenge, the various clones have different levels / level ordering)
