Title: Good PS1 games for a cabinet?
Post by: Trebeck on May 21, 2011, 01:20:23 pm: Any favorites out there that were made for a cab?

I put on the Gradius and Parodius games and they work great.

Post by: Turnarcades on May 21, 2011, 01:59:58 pm: All the best fighting games of the era, which ended up as better ports than the arcade versions and are emulated better, such as the Tekken series, Soul Edge, Rival Schools, Tohshinden series, Thrill Kill and Street Fighter EX. If you got analog control like a trackball or spinner, the Ridge Rcer and Gran Turismo games are great too. Other favourites are Micro Machines and Micro Maniacs, MK Trilogy and Doom.

Yah I was wondering about games that didn't have to use an analog stick, but Einhander looks really interesting.

Post by: Well Fed Games on May 21, 2011, 06:43:09 pm: Raiden Project.... a great port of my fav vertical shooters...
Strikers 1945
The various Namco/misc arcade collections
Bubble Bobble
Metal Slug X
Xevious 3d+G
Symphony of the night
R-Types
Parappa/Um Jammer Lammy
Buster Bros Collection

... and many more. I built a PS1 bartop, there are so many! Unfortunately, many are on the rarer side. PS1 games were much more consistent with digital controls than PS2 games (Damn you, Mega Man Anniversary Collection, and your refusal to work with my digital stick!).

Post by: Endaar on May 22, 2011, 06:21:35 pm: R-Type Delta, which I think was a Japanese import only.

Post by: scofthe7seas on May 23, 2011, 10:53:47 am: Hahaha you absolutely can not play Ape Escape on a control panel. Not without more arms than a person has.

Plus it requires dual analog.

Post by: newmanfamilyvlogs on May 23, 2011, 11:27:56 am: Whoops. I didn't even think about that. :whap
I bet you could do it with a pair of flightsticks though, with a few buttons on them.
