Any Game List Ideas? [Done]

<< < (9/26) > >>

dgame:
No problem posting the final list once I make it in RomLister.

RomLister can output "batch files, MaLa lists, plain ole text files, CSV text files, Hyperspin lists, Maximus Arcade, MultiFe, MameWah, XML..."

I use MaLa. What format(s) do you want the list in?

CoryBee:
I use MalaFe as well, so I'm game to add a specials list to the now and future cabs. Thanks!

harveybirdman:
Okay so I'd have Cyvern, even if it is ridiculously hard.

How fast is your CPU can you run the Sega ST-V games?  If so Cotton Boomerang or Cotton 2 would be on my list


Heavy Smash? that a fun sports/action game

Here are a few others that you can weigh against some of the others you've already chosen
Mystic Warriors (think Sunset Riders, but with Ninjas)
Ninja Baseball Batman (Cartoony Beat em up fun, quarkyness of Ninja Clowns but MUCH more fun IMO)
Track N' Field (when I think of a bunch of guys getting together for some gaming fun this title can't be beaten bonus side effect it will drive your spouse/gf up the wall!  If you don't like the 8 bit olympic theme check out Numan Athletics)

like VS games but want something COMPLETELY different?  Outfoxies is your game

Raiga Strato Fighter adds an element of scrolling both ways in a horizontal shooter I like it quite a bit

Shock Troopers will give you the feel of a rotary Ikari style game but without the need for a rotary

My list would have
Strider
Tengai ( I like it, kind of a horizontal EspRaDe)
for that matter EspRade or EspGaluda  but maybe you already have your fill of cave games, I guess you're running something that has the cave drivers supported?)
Xexex (geez do I like horizontal shooters much but this one is bloody brilliant)



dgame:
Thanks for the advice.

I have the Cave CV1000 driver in my custom compiled MAME though I am not sold on the newer bullet hell games yet. I do like the look of ESP Ra.De and some of the others mentioned though.

The system is Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400 (6M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) with 4GB RAM and 64-bit WinXP. Die Hard Arcade (ST-V) is mostly playable but it struggles at times so I will pass on the ST-V games for now.

Removed Hang-On, Super Burger Time, Magical Drop II, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Vs. Excitebike and Pink Sweets.

Added  Arch Rivals, B.C. Kid / Bonk's Adventure, ESP Ra.De., Mystic Warriors, Outfoxies, Raiga - Strato Fighter, Shock Troopers and King of the Monsters

That is 200 games.

Still could probably use some tweaking though. Space Invaders? Berzerk? Those could probably go?

Haze:
In terms of vertical shooters (to add some variety from what you have) you could really do with

Cyvern (or Dragon Blaze, both are Dragon themed)
Strikers 1945 II (or III) (basically your classic Psikyo shooters)
Vasara / Vasara 2

I also like Space Bomber for the pure quirky lunacy of it ;-)

IMHO 1944 isn't a very good game, and if you've got Metal Slug X you don't need Metal Slug 2, because Metal Slug X is basically a refined, remixed, FIXED version of Metal Slug 2 without most of the slowdown issues.
As others have said, the Sega sprite scaler ones tend to require analog controls to play right, and while I find Space Harrier to be quite playable without I can't really say the same for Super Hang-On, there are times when you really have to slam the bike in one direction, and you can't do that with a joystick, Afterburner is even worse.

I've also heard people say Change Air Blade is great for 2 player games, although as a single player game is seems to be quite bad

Dyna Gears, horizontal scrolling run-n-gun with dinosaurs?

Demon Front would make a great drop-in replacement for Metal Slug 2 also.

Osman (aka Cannon Dancer) is basically the sequel to Strider (same lead designer..) and every bit as good.

You don't seem to have anything along the lines of Cabal / Blood Bros / Pirates (pick one)

You seem to lack any kind of wall breaking games, I know most require a paddle, but things like Gunbarich offer a similar style of gameplay but are joystick based.  Arkanoid Returns can be set to Joystick in the service menu (although I don't like it much)    Ghox would be a contender but will still need somebody to decap the sound MCU so it can have proper sound :/  Jumping Break?  Block Block has a joystick version.

There's also no 'Head On' style game, which is another classic style, the original Head On looks rather dated although is still fun, Counter Run wasn't a terrible sequel (one of the few game in MAME where you still have to use the bootleg version tho, because the original version has the code in RAM inside a suicide block from 1988, it's possible the code is the same tho, as we found with Free Kick)

I'm not sure I'd drop Berzerk, it's a classic and very addictive..  I think the simple problem is there are more than 200 games worth playing, which is hardly a surprise ;-)  you're already under-representing some genres such as puzzle games, some of which can be rather competitive in a 2 player environment.  By far my actual favourite Cave SH3 platform game is Mushitama, the sequel to Uopoko for instance.
