"ROM Surfing?"
JamesMolloy:
Speaking of killing lots of things very quickly I've recently got into Robotron. It was way before my time in the arcades and home conversions never did it justice because you need two joysticks.
If you play it for 5 minutes you've probably blasted 500 aliens. Really intense, really hard, really fun.

Some time after I built my first MAME cab I found Metal Black and Meikyu Jima and I hadn't heard of either one of those before. I find Meikyu Jima particularly addicting and I still play it pretty often. The Japanese cartoony music between rounds cracks me up every time.
jdjuggler:
Yes. Robotron was very popular.
I found 2 very interesting games called Darius and Darius II.
This is basically a defender style game, but the cool thing is that the screen is in a super widescreen format. So your field of view is huge compared to something like defender. Check it out, let me know what you think.

PS (for those new schoolers... try Tapper also, the rootbeer version, of course)
pocketz:
theres a game i found called "I'm Sorry" it has elements of the early games like pacman and digdug with a humorous twist. i find it quite addictive.
Rocky:
Two games that I've recently "discovered" from the rom list that I really like are:
Speed Coin... it's so simple, yet I have a hard time not playing "just one more game"
Metro-Cross... you race this guy through obstacles before time runs out.
