| Malenko:
Ideally I'd like a list of games that would have been great in the arcades but were only ever a console game. I am adding a small smattering of console games to my emulation machine , and I want to keep the games in the same spirit. I get that this is subjective but I'd like to see what you guys/gals come up with. Not trying to add hundreds of games either :) Best example I can think of is Weaponlord on SNES/Genesis. my "rules": Not a console port of an arcade game or an arcade collection (ie no midway hits, tmnt hyperstone, etc) - PC-10 games are exempt - Games that make the games playable on standard controls, like Marble Madness - NES are exempt - Games that share the name with an arcade game but are vastly different are exempt Works with "standard" arcade controls, no trackballs ,spinners, flight sticks, analog controls , etc Games that are good, not just ones that could have been an arcade game (ie don't suggest Zoop pls) If there is a game that's multi-platform, please suggest the "better" version but also what other platforms its on. If there's multiple in a series, just list the best one ( ie Streets of Rage 3) unless more than 1 is worth having on the list my list so far, subject to change: Clayfighter 2 - SNES Comix Zone - Genesis Eternal Champions - Sega CD (also on Genesis) Fighters Megamix - Saturn Final Fight Mini Mix - NES Final Fight 2 - SNES Gradius V - PS2 Ice Hockey - NES Pipemania - NES R-Type III - SNES River City Ransom - NES Rock n' Roll Racing - SNES (also on Genesis) Shinobi III - Genesis Sonic 3 w/knuckles - Genesis Streets of Rage 3 / Burning Knuckle 3 - Genesis Super Double Dragon - SNES Super Mario 3 - NES Tecmo Bowl - NES (its only the same in name to the arcade game) Weaponlord - Genesis (also on SNES) Zombies Ate My Neighbors - Genesis (also on SNES) |

Harmful Park is a great ps1 exclusive shooter with arcade-y controls. |

Genesis Alien Soldier Battle Mania (Trouble Shooter) 1+2 Contra Hard Corps Gaiares Gleylancer (amazing music!) Granada Gunstar Heroes Musha Ranger-X Steel Empire Alisia Dragoon Eliminate Down General Chaos Xeno Crisis SNES - IIRC, none of these games need the shoulder buttons Space Megaforce Axelay (uses shoulder buttons for weapon selection, but can be remapped in-game) Majuu Ou (King of Demons) Tetris Attack Umehara Kawase Choujikuu Yousai Macross - Scrambled Valkyrie (difficult, especially until you learn the tactics of the ship morphing and turning enemies to your side.) PS1 Galaga Destination Earth Gunners Heaven (Rapid Reload) Pepsiman R-Type Delta Tempest X3 |

Knowing you you've already added it but MK Trilogy comes to mind. ;) |
