What's in your "Favorites"?

[MPTech]

After about 15 years, I decided to rebuild my MAME Machine (replaced/upgraded all of my hardware, software, and Frontend, basically just retained the Cabinet) . Unfortunately, I think I forgot to save my Favorites XML (I'm still looking through my backups, but haven't found it yet, D'oh!), so I want to rebuild it with about 100-ish Arcade games.

To further complicate it, I haven't played anything on my Cabinet in about 3 years (why I rebulit/upgraded it!), so I've forgotten more games than I remember.  I've been witing them down as they come to me, but I'm asking for help with the most popular / classic standard Arcade games. (8-way joystick & 8 buttons, 2 players, nothing fancy).  I've already filtered the games via ROMLister, but that still leaves thousands.

Any suggestions, links, or Youtube videos would be greatly appreciated.  Not picky and if you have any suggestions for something new to try, I'd appreciate that as well. (I'm not a purist, so Hacks or clones are also encouraged)

Thanks!!   Looking forward to getting back to gaming

BadMouth's All Killer, No Filler game lists are a great place to start.
