you bet! only problem I had with it was you can't run over the monsters when they are frozen/disabled after shaking the walls
Hey there is also this thread with lots of pc games that should play on a cabinet
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=7479.0
I suggest that the list be maintained on the wiki rather than the forum though
(also some guidelines here )

MazzMn:
anyone try any of these retro games out?

This one required a mouse (or trackball I guess) but is unique

Tried this one today, unfortunately it wouldn't run on my cabinet, even though I set the resolution correct. The screen went black and then it went back to the desktop. Oh well, never mind. Maybe the game needs Win XP, My cab has win 98se.
on a side note, slightly off topic, how do you guys run games with different control panel configurations? I program my IPAC with the Ctrl+Alt+P command, but then if the next game I play is different controls then im stuffed again! :dunno

Time to add another classic to the list...
Doom / Doom 2
You can install Doom Legacy (http://legacy.newdoom.com/) and set up a .cfg file to auto launch it without bothering with the main menu and set it to some basic joystick/button combination. Best part is that if you want, you can run it SPLIT SCREEN! Nothing better than playing co-op doom with a friend splitscreen.
If you have any questions on the setup, just ask..

I use Mala as a Frontend, which has an option to set up a program to launch prior to your game, and then set the group to use to ipc file of your choice.
