Thank you! This is a great list. I have tried many of these games in the past and several of the better ones are already on my cabinet. Many are cabinet friendly. For example,
Torus Trooper is cabinet friendly. It's nice to see such a big list of them.
I think I posted about
Gravitron in the software subgroup once. I don't remember it being adware as suggested here. It's just a well done indy remake. His
r-type remakes are good too and are cabinet friendly.
I'll take some time later this summer and go through this whole list one at a time. I'm always on the lookout for free (and better yet, open-source) games that run well on my cabinet. I see lots of familiar names on that list, but many I've never heard of too.
BTW, I'm highly addicted to
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. I mean, really, really addicted. It's better than Team Fortress 2 if you ask me. But that one isn't arcady or cabinet friendly.
