Not in order, and I'm sure I missed some:

Mr. Do!
Donkey kong
DK Jr.
Millipede
Crystal Castles
Street Fighter Alpha 2
VS. Ice Climber
Cyberball
Rampart (must try since you just got a trackball, it's deeper than it appears at first)
Mappy

I also play Journey a lot just to laugh at the digitized pictures of the band. Pure comedy.

Namco...

You really like Bad Cats all that much as a pin? I really can't get into that one other than when it goes "Meow, Meow, Meoooow".  ;)


The recreation on Virtual Pinball is just sooooo good, you can't help but enjoy it. Plus I love cats! The "Meow, Meow, Meoooow" is the greatest sound byte ever too by the way  ;D

great lists guys...that's what i was hoping for.  thanks to this thread, i have discovered a few new awesome games that i didn't know about before.

I agree completely.

This thread makes me happy.   ;D
It's nice seeing some of the choices, especially when I can actually try some of the games you guys have listed here.

I never played Flying Shark, Bal-Cube, and Shuffleshot  before, and NHL 94 Genesis is awesome on a stand-up machine!

In no particular order:

Ultimate MK 3 (Ermac owns)
Track N Field
Dungeons and Dragons (either title)
Moon Patrol
damnit..forgot the name ( vertical shooter where one character is a witch)
Hot Rod
Cyberball
Joust
Monster Bash - Virtual Pin
probably a tie between Karate Champ and Robotron

I haven't updated Mame or my Mame Box in a while, or I would be tearing up Gauntlet Ledgends, SF 3, and MvC 2

I only have 5 games on my cabinet at work because I only install the games on the PC of the boards (daphne is DVD's) I own, but they all rock :)

In order they get played:
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (about 1800 plays per month)
Hyper Street Fighter II (About 300 plays per month)
Dragon's Lair II (about 20 plays per month)
Dragon's Lair (about 5 plays per month)
Space Ace (Never seen anyone but me play it every once in awhile)


Once Street Fighter IV (PC) releases I expect that will easily take the top spot.

Sweet! Seeing some games here that I've never played!
Here's some of my really obscure picks -
Gravitar (give it a go - its gruesomely hard!)
Garou - Mark of the Wolves (a good Street Fighter variant - though I'm not sure how obscure this is)
Outfoxies
Windjammers/Flying Power Disc

I see a lot of 'gyruss' out there. Nice. TOK's got a pretty good list. I guess my most played (in no particular order) are:

DK
DKjr
Robotron
Mspac
Tempest
Black Widow
Pole Position (I swear I'd taken it to the limit without a peddle; I was wrong.)
Joust
Bubbles

Mmm, I think that's it for lately. Others I've played a lot - like Mappy - but haven't been lately. That's when I usually get my highest scores, too, hehn, is when I come back to them.


Am I the only one who prefers Galaga 88 above the original one?
The Galactic Dancing tune kicks ass! :cheers:

Nope. Not by a long shot.


@ Hoopz............

Complete the game & tell me the robots do not have shall we say "greek bathouse commodities" & the massive ship at the end looks like that fat kid from the movie Super Bad drew it when he was little.

....I've been meaning to get back to that game. Now I must.

Something happened to Mccaulay too BTW, once he made that movie "party monster" I knew he, well, never mind.

Back to the non camel tail related thread.

Well, look at Cary Elwes. He's certainly undergone a change.


Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting
Street Fighter 2 The World Warrior
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike
Street Fighter 3 Second Impact
Street Fighter Alpha
Street Fighter 3 New Generation

in that order.


You need to see this (WARNING: explicit language)

This is what happens when you have anime heads creating games. No....sense....of place.


I'd probably have to look at my list to figure it out, but this gives me a good idea. My "favorites" list is over 100 games now, which is big enough that some games get lost in the shuffle...

That's why I have three 'favorites', in descending order or 'like', in my Favorites folder.

BTW, I love seeing Andy's post here. It's not often that I see posts from Andy that aren't related to product support. It's refreshing and cool to see him making a post like that. You almost forget that he's a gamer like the rest of us!

Yeah, totally.

Just got a shipment from Divemaster yesterday, so i don't have any cabinet to play on yet.
I do have all of the software on my laptop, and I can say that Grid Wars will probably be high on my list. Had to mention it since I haven't seen it on any lists yet.
Given how much I like the game using a keyboard/mouse, I can't wait to try it with two U360's
In case you don't have it, here is the Dual U360 hack for Grid Wars: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=80123.0

Top 5 in alphabetical order...

Arkanoid
Athena
Berserk
Ghouls and Ghosts (US)
Joust


I cannot believe how much fun Berserk is. I find it borderline addictive to play. And maybe it's just because I suck, but the games are over pretty quick; I can jump on and play a game in under ten minutes. It's just the right amount of gameplay to fit in my typically busy schedule.
