These are great. There were so many cool games that I used to play as a kid that I just can't remember. I see these lists and have an "oh yeah! moment".
I would also recommend going to http://www.mameworld.com/maws and clicking on the Hall of Fame link. This will give you games in order of their rank by users votes. I found it pretty interesting.
What would be really cool is if MAME implemented a voting feature that would shoot votes through the internet and tally them on a server to be downloaded by MAME. Then, be able to list games in their ranked order. Or something to that effect.
But, until then, let's continue these lists of everyone's all-time favorite games.
As for mine, I would add the following great games:
Hyper Sports
Track and Field
Sinistar
Metal Slug (all)
Cyberball 2072
Karate Champ
Tron
Gauntlet
These may not be the greatest of all-time, but I will continue to play them heavily.
Apollo:
Juno First
Robotron
Berzerk
Stargate
KikiKaiKai
Moon Cresta
Pleiades
Ghosts and Goblins
Golden Axe
Gauntlet
MagMax
Donkey Kong Jr
Just of the top of my head

Missing a couple of my all time favourites there: Salamander and Green Beret. These are possibly the root of my desire to own a cab.
