What were your favourite games that didn't have a dedicated cab?

I have noticed there are several games that never had a dedicated cabinet, and wonder which ones you liked the most, or which ones stood out to you.

So once again, we find that evil of the past seeps into the present like salad dressing through cheap wax paper, mixing memory and desire.

Bubble Bobble sure was great.

I like some of the builds online by those who created a dedicated cab, and was considering maybe using a game that didn't have a dedicated cab as my theme for a current vertical monitor build. Bubble Bobble builds always look great, but its horizontal and been done. Reckon a lot of the mid to late 80s games I grew up playing were primarily sold as conversion kits for old cabs, because some games like Jackal I don't recall having a dedicated cab.

Is there a database or something that would easily list which games didn't have a dedicated cab or only sold as conversions?
