1) I use it as a mouse
2) Centipede
3) Birdie King 1, 2 and 3
4) Shuffleshot (of course)
5) Marble Madness
6) Missile Command
7) many Bowling games
8) etc. . etc.. etc..

farmecologist:

I think a trackball is essential for a cabinet.

I play most of what was mentioned above as well as other more obscure classics like Quantum, etc.. 

Fat_Trucker:
Its a must have for trackball type games and when you are asleep all the mice in your house can use it for a workout.

Everybody wins.

jjd:
The trackball gets more play on my cab than the joysticks. 

Golden Tee
Bowling games
Cameltry etc.

Plus, if you don't want to spend big bucks you could go with something like this.

No, it's functional.

Yes

Yes MAME supports a mouse.  In fact, in many games a MOUSE device is the primary way to play.  You can try it with the mouse you have now.  Try Centipede, that's a good one, but be sure to enable mouse input in MAME.
