MAME games worth playing, the best of a full set!

SammyWI:
One thing I like about the front end that I use (GameEx) is the 'similar games' that it will list when you select a game.  I've found lots of new favorites that way.  Also has lists built in for games by type, manufacturer and year.

It gets overlooked a lot due to the fact that its one of the \"newer\" versions of this type of game. I believe it was only released in Japan, but I stumbled on it a few years back and love it.

Just tried battle bakraid myself. Hooked instantly :D This is a great recommendation for vertical shoot em up fans!

Along those lines is Power Play (soccer).  It's a 2 x 2 top-down game like Hat Trick but with a bigger playing field and added difficulty of controlling a soccer ball.  Don't forget to throw punches on defense!

1000 Miglia: Great 1000 Miles Rally is a fun joystick driving game.  There are a few others in this genre that I don't enjoy nearly as much.

Another good one is Desert War, a vertical flying shooter with the added twist of needing to land to rescue POWs.

Also, +1 on Cameltry.  It's a must try if you have a spinner (should work with trackball too?)

Could Journey be the most ridiculous arcade game ever?  It's actually pretty challenging and fun.  Pump a few dollars worth of quarters into this one before giving up on it.   ;)

DaveMMR:
I could list hundreds but I recommend trying BLAZING STAR and ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE ROBOT MONSTERS (AKA the only two games I made themes for in Hyperspin). 

Also found a little game called Peggle (not to be confused with the PopCap game) that's slightly annoying in the sound-effect department but amusing enough for at least a look.
