Funny you mention Double Dragon. I really liked DD 3 on NES when I was younger, but playing that one on MAME kind of sucks. It is a little choppy even though it says 100% and the graphics are WAY worse than the first Double Dragon. Does anyone know why they changed the graphics for DD 3? I love the original Double Dragon, but the 3rd sucks!

I'm pretty sure 'shoot 'em ups' or shmups are games like Raiden, Ikaruga, 1942 etc. Metal Slug I think is in the 'run n gun' genre.

So my favourite shoot em ups in mame are Raiden, 1942, Bells n Whistles, Zero Wing.

For run n gun my favourite would have to be Commando. Metal Slug is bloody excellent too, but not so great on my cocktail cab. On an interesting side-note, I'm pretty sure Commando, a run n gun, uses the 1942 'engine'. Funny how doing almost the same thing, but substituting a P38 Lightning for a commando, changes the genre...
