Title: What are the best original X-Box games for an arcade cabinet?
Post by: sofakng on April 01, 2008, 11:33:11 pm
I've found my original X-Box in my attic the other day and am thinking about hacking some controllers up to my MAME cabinet, but I'm wondering what games on the original X-Box would work really good on an arcade?  (eg. digital controls only, etc)

Here is what I THINK would be good without trying them yet:

Sou Calibur II
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows
Top Spin
Blitz 2003

Street Fighter Anniversary
House of the Dead III (w/ included HotD II)
Dead or Alive 1,2, & 3
Guilty Gear X2 #Reload
Lego Star Wars 1 & 2
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Capcom vs SNK 2
NFL Blitz
NHL Hitz
Tetris Worlds

If your Xbox is modded then there is a massive other world of titles available.

Aside from the emulators, which include:

Arcade (MAME, Killer Instinct, FBA)
NES (Mike Tyson's Punch Out is still great)
SNES
Genesis
PSX
etc...


There is also Homebrew. A couple of my favorites are:

Super Mario War
Beats of Rage

Thanks for the suggestions!

My X-Box is indeed modded but I also have a regular PC inside the cabinet so I use that for all the emulators, etc.  The X-Box is just there for X-Box games that work good on the cabinet... (which I'm trying to figure out).

If you have a steering wheel or similar, burnout 3 would be great in a cab.
