I have been looking over cab friendly PC games. I looked over the list stickied on the software forum. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=88060.0). I noticed that about 90% of the games are indie games I have also looked in the wiki and found that there is a pretty darn good list of Indie Games (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Indie_Games) built up.
If anyone knows any mainstream, retail games that are cab friendly, please to post them. They can be old or new, as long as they can be made to run on a PC without needing an emulator. (dosbox). If we have enough entries, I would be happy to start up a wiki page for it.
So please post whatever games you can think of. Also include any information on the controls needed, and note if it requires mouse (trackball) support to access the menu. Also, if we get enough racing entries, we can hopefully set up a special racing games wiki page as well.
So here is my first entry:
Lego Star Wars: The original Trilogy - Only Joystick/Buttons needed. 2 Player.
(If anyone has tried other Lego games and can verify they work fine as well, we can add them to the list. This is the only one I tried.)

May I ask why DOSBox is a no-no?
-
Mostly because I am hopefully trying to build a list for people of games they can buy that they could install and run on their machines without worrying about the emulation end. I am hoping to get a decent list up in the Wiki. Nothing against DosBox, I love classic PC games, but since that falls into the realm of emulation, I would rather avoid it on this list.
Although, If anyone does have cab friendly games that they run on DosBox, I have no problem with them being posted here. It could be very beneficial and might be a make a good wiki entry on it's own.

I understand that rationale perfectly. ;)
Since you asked, I've actually spent a lot of time working with DOSBox and Wah!Cade (the frontend for Linux). A while back I posted a list of games (along with a link to Wah!ki) here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=88060.msg1204931#msg1204931 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=88060.msg1204931#msg1204931).
I've also painstakingly documented how to get DOSBox to work well with a front end, however it's written with Wah!Cade in mind. Not sure how helpful it would be to Windows users.
