I used to love fighting games, but since having a stroke my left hand is not responsive enough for the speed needed, so now it's;

TMNT
Simpsons
Final Fight
Wrestlefest
Vendetta
Sunset Riders
Double Dragon
Golden Axe
194- (whichever)
Shadow Warriors (Ninja Gaiden)

As you can see, I've substituted 'vs' fighters for co-op side-scrolling fighters which are great for party play, though I also love vert shooters, button bashers and not really a fan of true classics like I should be. If I were to extend this list to consoles, I'd probably add;

Soul Blade (PS1)
Tetris (GB)
Alien Storm (MD)
Revenge Of Shinobi (MD)
Altered Beast (MD)
Streets Of Rage (MD)
Mario Kart (SNES)
Punch-Out (NES)
Zelda 3 (SNES)
Sonic 2 (MD)

and back in the day when I was a fighting ace:

Killer Instinct
SF2 Turbo
Tekken 2
Soul Calibur 2
Fatal Fury Series

and a few ohers would have been on my cab.

I had to name 13...........

GoldenTee
ShuffleShot
World Class Bowling
Centipede
Robotron
Gyruss
Time Pilot
Galaga 1 & 3
Mortal Kombat(s)
Street Fighter(s)
Marvel Vs Capcom & etc
Metal Slug(s)
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (mostly because no one believes it exists & then there are many Freudian type references)

Edit: For me it seems the classics fare better when I play solo or need a quick fix, the fighter/brawler & bar types (GT, SS, WCB) are great party games.

@ 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.

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

I'm telling you the Time Crisis games are still so much fun at home as long as you have a foot pedal. I just use my Rock Band bass pedal and it's like the experience all over again!

Maybe you are the only one who prefers it over the original, but I think it is a blast to play, even if it does get a bad rap from the hardliners.

EDIT: edited for clarity

CheffoJeffo · « **Reply #29 on:** March 03, 2009, 07:11:32 am »

In my house, top 10 games played in recent months would be (no particular order):

Rygar
Galaga
Asteroids ... when it's working $:-\$
Robotron
Bubbles
Joust
VS Super Mario Bros ... I've never liked it, but everybody else seems to
Missile Command ... I've been on an MC kick lately
Donkey Kong
Ms Pac

What has been surprising to me is how popular some of the older, less mainstream, vertical games are. They don't make the top 10, but lots of different folks who play at my house (all younger than I am) like to play Pooyan, Phoenix, The End, Juno First, Moon Cresta and Van Van Car.

Visitor Q · « **Reply #30 on:** March 03, 2009, 08:25:20 am »

This changes for me but right now here is my top 5 or so since some are a series of games:

1. Galaga
2. Robotron
3. Metal Slug (Series)
4. Visual Pinball
5. Joust

TheShanMan · « **Reply #35 on:** March 03, 2009, 05:30:55 pm »

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 - games that aren't close to the current selection in the FE don't get a lot of consideration, especially with time on the mame cab so limited (my kids dominate the mame cab, so most of my playing is done on the dedicated cabs - tron, defender, cyberball). What I need to do is go through the list and put together a list of the top 10 or 15 games, and make an "all time" favorites list.

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!

Gravitar

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".

severdhed · « **Reply #39 on:** March 04, 2009, 04:02:58 pm »

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.

world class bowling is great...
and i have to agree with Andy....bal-cube=awesome!!!

i also prefer Galaga 88 over the original..but then again..i had never played the original before i got my mame cabinet....there just weren't that many arcades in the area when i was younger.
