"Official" list for PC Games On Cab
fallacy:
Micro Machines V4 is a good one.

Hydro Thunder (Eurocom version, published by Sold-Out Software in the UK)
Buy it here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sold-Out-Software-Hydro-Thunder/dp/B00005B973
The Eurocom version doesn't use the infernal copy protection that the "Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe" version did. Only drawback is that it doesn't allow any multiplayer whatsoever, not even split screen (unlike the N64 and Dreamcast versions). Otherwise it's arcade-perfect, and still a ton of fun to play against the computer racers.
Mortal Kombat 4 (Also from Eurocom)
http://www.eurocom.co.uk/index.php/video-games/mortal-kombat-4
Another near-perfect arcade port.
Dance Dance Revolution (Konami)
http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Revolution-PC/dp/B0002VXTZ0/
Yes, Konami actually put out a PC version of the first DDR game. Plays perfectly with any console dance pad with the right USB adapter.
Virtua Fighter 2
http://www.amazon.com/Virtua-Fighter-2-PC/dp/B0008E8AYG/
Graphics are not quite as detailed as the arcade original, but it still plays like a dream on an arcade cab. Will run great under Windows XP with a little finagling (you actually have to reduce your color depth before launching the game, or it will complain).
Virtua Tennis (original)
http://www.amazon.com/VIRTUA-TENNIS-pc/dp/B0007UZJRM/
If your arcade sticks are interfacing with your PC as a keyboard, this game might give you a little grief because it only allows one player to use the keyboard as the controller. However, by using the PPJoy and PPJoyKey utilities, you can map keystrokes from your arcade controls to virtual joysticks that are recognized by the game.
Boarder Zone
http://www.amazon.com/Boarder-Zone-Pc/dp/B00003OPDZ/
Fantastic PC snowboarding game. You can do stunts or just all-out race. Best played with analog controls but works great with switch-based arcade sticks too.
PC Games That Now Appear in Arcades
Need for Speed - Hot Pursuit 2
http://www.amazon.com/Need-Speed-Hot-Pursuit-2-Pc/dp/B00006CRVH/
GlobalVR turned this into an arcade game they called "Need for Speed GT". (http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=5949&image=2) It's pretty much the same engine - great arcade driving fun!
Need for Speed Underground
http://www.amazon.com/Need-Speed-Underground-Pc/dp/B0000C0Z23/
This game was also given the arcade treatment by GlobalVR. (http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=5949&image=1). Again, great arcade driving fun.
Star Wars Starfighter
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Starfighter-Pc/dp/B00005LABL/
This time brought to the arcades by Tsunami Visual Technologies, inc. (http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=5091)
The arcade version of Star Wars Starfighter actually plays more like a rail-shooter (much like Sega's Star Wars Trilogy Arcade), but the PC/console version gives you freedom of movement.
Guitar Hero III - Legends of Rock
http://www.aspyr.com/product/info/85
Brought to the arcade (Finally!) by Konami and Raw Thrills (http://www.rawthrills.com/game.php?GameID=14).
The PC version comes bundled with a USB guitar controller. There's also an Aerosmith edition (http://www.aspyr.com/product/info/93).

Good call on Virtua Fighter 2 PC. I picked it up for $1 and am pleasantly surprised. With all the video options maxed out it looks pretty close to the original. Plus it was easy to set up with my U360's.
