Best games on Mame

[Marky_1979]

Im in the process of constructing my custom games list and was wondering what games you guys rate highly and which ones you could suggest as possible gems I might have missed first time around.

....

I assume you have 3 steering wheels. Check out Offroad

I assume you have 4 spinners. You'll love warlords.

I assume you have a trigger stick and a push pull spinner. Zwackery is kind of fun.

sadly not I have a trackball 2 joysticks and 6 buttons per player

His MAME cab will be laughed at without a Boonga controller.

This is why we need a Top 50 Favorite Games thread. I'd put myself in charge of adding up all the votes and averaging them out. After everybody has given their input, I'll throw a site up on Wordpress or Blogger that we can link to when someone wants to know the BYOAC top games. I wouldn't mind updating it as new member voted either.

I know that something similar has been done before, but having a site that we could just link to would simplify things and help a lot of arcade newbies out.

EDIT:

I could even do some categorization efforts. Maybe a top overall, top by controls (driving, 4-way, 8-way, etc.), top by screen orientation, and so on.

I wish this forum had a way to mark a thread as a favorite or something (not just a bookmark, but tracked by the server so it would show up wherever you browse from).  It sure would make it easier to answer posts like this.

I never got to see that movie as a kid. I remember seeing the previews though. Just out of curiosity I checked for a torrent file for the movie and there actually is one (this totally beats the time I got a wild hair to see Demolition Man and there was a quite popular torrent for it)! My wife will hate me, but we'll be watching this movie in a few days.

If you have a track ball, crystal castle is the ish

The idea of the Power Glove was so much better than the Power Glove itself. The thought that you could bust out this hi-end controller that would give your game playing the ultimate edge, much like a pool shark with his custom cue never became a reality.

Yeah, that thing sucked. My friend got one when they first came out, we both were unimpressed...
