**LISTED**
Anyone else care to add to this list? Perhaps this is a good thing to add to the Wiki????
Hope this helps,

Hi mate. I am not being funny, but surely if you've got a trackball and two spare buttons that you can assign as mouse buttons you can play ANY pc game? Am I wrong?

There are various reasons why a lot of PC games cannot be played on an arcade:
* Hi-score name entry relies on keyboard input instead of letter matrix selection with the joystick (eg. almost all Popcap games)
* Game is controlled with both keyboard input and mouse input (eg. Noitu Love 2)
* Game has menu that requires mouse navigation, but core mechanics of gameplay are not reliant on mouse/trackball (eg. Offspring Fling)
* Game has areas in menu that make calls to external applications such as web browser windows (eg. Icy Tower)
* Game has level editor callable from within GUI that requires full keyboard and mouse support to use
Those are just a few of the criteria that knock PC games off of my master list (with some exceptions of course)
