Why do you have a trackball?
seanp:
I echo the above sentiments. These are my "must have" games:
Centipede
Millipede
Marble Madness
Crystal Castles
plus my new favorites:
Shuuz
Shuffleshot
Beyond that, it's just a "wow" factor. I actually have swappable panels, and keep the same dimensions as the old classic cabinet I have them in. People see my arcade cabinet, and they say "too bad you can't play games like millipede". I pull out my trackball, and they say "wow - it's just like a real arcade". Of course, the joystick and buttons are just like an arcade, but people have SEEN those before at least in replica form with those "arcade style" sticks for the consoles. An honest-to-goodness arcade trackball is unique in a home environment.

Golf games, plus the wife said she'd like to play Centipede.
Oh, and I like things that roll.
missioncontrol:
you can use a track ball? that's where I've been keeping my cue ball when I'm not playing pool...
quarterback:
I'm with most people here. I have mine so I can play Missile Command, Centipede and Crystal Castles (although I've never gotten the settings right for satisfying Crystal Castles play). I also use it as a mouse (since that's effectively what it is) in Windows.
I'd like to find some more good bowling-style games. I've played Bowl-a-rama and I think I've tried shuffle-shot (I know it's not 'bowling' per se). Are there other suggestions of similar type games?

Golden Tee
Bowling games
Cameltry etc.
Plus, if you don't want to spend big bucks you could go with something like this.

Is that thing actually usuable for gaming though? (like bowling/golf games) I could see myself hitting that and it popping right off (the ball) and breaking something.
