Title: What were your favourite games that didn't have a dedicated cab?

I have noticed there are several games that never had a dedicated cabinet, and wonder which ones you liked the most, or which ones stood out to you.

Bubble Bobble sure was great.

I like some of the builds online by those who created a dedicated cab, and was considering maybe using a game that didn't have a dedicated cab as my theme for a current vertical monitor build. Bubble Bobble builds always look great, but its horizontal and been done. Reckon a lot of the mid to late 80s games I grew up playing were primarily sold as conversion kits for old cabs, because some games like Jackal I don't recall having a dedicated cab.

Is there a database or something that would easily list which games didn't have a dedicated cab or only sold as conversions?
