looking for PC games that are cab friendly *updated*
« on: September 01, 2008, 10:13:16 pm »
I was searching around and wanted to know of what games you can recommend which have decent graphics and are cab friendly which would work with a trackball . Specifically golf and bowling games would be cool.


*updated*

Now looking for joystick game ideas / suggestions

golden Tee, Hamsterball, HyperBowl (if you can still find it), Feeding Frenzy, I'll check my cab... but there are actually quite a few good trackball games.

i have golden tee but like 97-2k do they make newer pc versions? if so i didnt know that. At one point i had hyperbowl on my cab and remember playing it at dave and busters on that gigantic screen while using two hands to roll the ball which was fun, i removed it was causing problems but that's when i was using mamewah, now using mala.. maybe i'll reinstall it. I wish I could find a new bowling game such as namco's rock n bowl for the pc more of a traditional type not going down the streets of san francisco dodging cars lol

There are some Silverstrike clones and Rock & Roll Bowling games. One of the contemporary bowling games I have on my cab is Gutterball 2. I know we had a good what are good trackball games going here on the board. Maybe as old as 2004 / 2005 but still it had quite a few excellent recommendations.

I am running Tiger Woods '08 on my cabinet. Very Nice.  ;D
 Also it seems there is a chance that '08 might be the last Tiger Woods game released for the PC.  :angry:

polar bowler
polar golf
dynomite "wife loves it"

check popcap games they all use a mouse "trackball"

if you have a high end card there is many games.

are you running a arcadevga or a card with some horse power?

ok i got tiger woods 08 on my cab and it's working / being launched with MaLa, using a "bat" file and it's got no problems.. also i did the same thing for daphne however for whatever reason i'm trying to utilize the same "bat" file to launch hamster ball and im having a problem getting error code from the game it self, but it launches just fine in windows

here is my tigerwoods .bat file (which no problems):

"C:\Program Files\EA Sports\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\bin\TW2008.exe"
-fullscreen -nohwaccel

hamster ball has a texture error ?? but works perfectly if i click on the .exe on my desktop

now my error bat file while trying to launch hamster ball:

"C:\Game\PC Games\Hamster Ball\hamster.exe"
-fullscreen -nohwaccel


*EDIT!* SGT SOLVED THIS THANKS...
Code Needed For .bat file :

Quote
C:
CD "\Game\PC Games\Hamster Ball"
hamster.exe

The above way of launching pc games in mala works fine, but it shows a dos box when launching.

Does anyone know a way to hide the dos box at all ?
