Steam Games that work well on an arcade cabinet

Pac-Man Chapmionship Edition DX+ I pre-ordered, but can't download until it's released. This is not the multi-player arcade Battle Royale, this is basically a cell phone game. I did a trial of it on my cell phone and thought it was fun. Also wanted more games that utilize the widescreen in my cab.

I’d buy a whole new PC for my cabinet just to have this game be playable. I love it on PS3, and I’ve always wanted to try it with arcade controls rather than the stupid dual shock controller.
Do Steam games generally allow you to custom-map controls to a keyboard? If not, I guess I’m out of luck, as I use an I-Pac.
DeLuSioNal29:
It should work. If for some reason it defaults to the Xbox controller, you can always use the Xinput hack to get it to work.

It depends on the game, but like DeLuSioNal29 said, most new games default to an xbox360 controller.
In almost all the games I mentioned, I'm using the virtual xbox360 controllers from this thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,96377.0.html
Most of the games can remap in game controls, but sometimes menu navigation can't be remapped. A lot of them use Space Bar or Enter. Since the games are centered around xbox360 controllers, the menus are also designed to be navigated with the buttons on that controller. So it's easier just to use the virtual xbox360 controller than map the keyboard buttons in the game. Once you have it set up, you can just copy and paste the drivers and x360kb.ini file from one game folder to the other. Sometimes you have to remap the keyboard controls in a game to unused keys to prevent them from registering double.
Ginsu Victim:
"Thomas Was Alone" seems like it would be cab friendly.
Generic Eric:
Super Puzzle Platformer seems like it would work well.
Super Hexagon
Super Meatboy
The misadventures Of PJ winterbottom. (It was $0.5 a few years back.)
Lumines, but I don't think the keys are configurable.
Don't take my word for it though. No MAME Cab as of yet
