Looking for a list of popular arcade games, anyone knows a reliable one?

having only 50-60 games on mame cab is a shame

Nobody said that he should only have 50-60 games on the cabinet, but having a single menu for 5000 games is going to overwhelm people who don't know every game. It is the same with trying to replicate the controls to play those 5000 games. There is a reason why so may experienced MAMErs choose to go to dedicated cabinets and limited multigames instead of just building the same old "IT CAN PLAY 50,000 GAMES, INCLUDING THE NEW STREET FIGHTER ELEVENTY TELETUBBY EDITION".
I recall very clearly several years ago when Paige posted that his NeoGeo cabinet was played more than his MAME cabinet, even though the same games could be played on both and his MAME cab could play thousands more games.
The coin counters on my machines show the same results -- if people have to spend too much time choosing, they spend less time playing.
It really is that simple.
Install all the games that you want, but set up a game list that makes sense to people who aren't arcade nerds.
Actually, even arcade nerds hate the thought of 5000 games.

How is that the finest gamelist ?
Have you ever tried what I talk about ?

In my opinion.
(No. That's it. Just "in my opinion". I figure those are the three words that everybody can afford to add to their discussion points. Especially when dealing with a question of 'preference'.)
