Decent "Old" Arcade Games

killergorilla · 25 January 2007, 16:38

Hello!

Another random request thread by me

I've just had a large update of emu's on my xbox and realised that my MAME folder is not as full as I'd like it be!

I have some great games in there such as New Zealand Story, Mario Bros, Rainbow Island, Out Run etc. etc. but was looking to try out some more!

Bear in mind this is an Xbox I'm running so I don't any silly suggestions such as mslug5 (this runs fine on a different emu) or Bloody Roar 2

Screenshots would be good if you can be bothered!

keropi · 25 January 2007, 16:41

what about the Capcom CPS-1 games????

killergorilla · 25 January 2007, 16:46

Well yeah, any that are supported by MAME will do

Try Gauntlet or Ghouls'n Ghosts, still decent games.

I always enjoyed Bomb Jack, Commando, Nemesis, R-Type, Chase HQ, Slap Fight, Kung Fu Master, Star Wars, Super Wonderboy (in Monsterland), Flying Shark and Legend of Valkyrie (I think that's what it's called). And probably loads of others!

Zookeeper

Run around the outside of the animals 'cage' trying to keep them in.

Top game and a regular on my GP2X.

Freakyweakywoo · 25 January 2007, 17:18

Slap Fight (DL the Parent and one of the clones, English bootleg. The main rom doesn't work but the clones all work fine)

Rygar, I love this, but its quite a tough game, music is awesome.

Shinobi and Shadow dancer (no pics because you know what they are)

The classics, Galga and galaxian

Rolling Thunder

At least the first 2 aero fighters/sonic wings games should run ok

Bank Panic

Space Harrier and good ol Vs Excitebike

Have a look though marcos thread I'm sure there are a few good ones in there

Yeah, its an awesome game I agree.

LMAO, I demand action over this deliberate slur to my character! You leave me no option but to develop a sense of humor about it. Not enough happy flowers in that game, happy flowers maketh the game.

Hey killergorilla,

For my recommendations (and loads of other peoples) with screenshots just check out the MAME thread

True Dizzy...

...but I've been playing arcades game way before the Amiga was even invented

I don't play that much these days, only when friends with a common interest and notice the HotRodSE come around

Saying that I'm still a massive MAME32 whore i.e. checking WIP pages daily plus updating ROMs / CHDs / art packs with every stable release

PS. Black Tiger is wicked

Dizzy · 26 January 2007, 00:24

I remember one of the first arcade game I played.

It was Galaxy Ranger

Wow was that a cool game

DamienD · 26 January 2007, 00:41

Laserdisc game hey... I only had ever had the chance to play Dragon's Lair + Space Ace in Oz...

From memory some of the first arcade games ever played were (in no particular order):

... Elevator Action

... Galaxian

... Mr Do!

... Rock 'n Rope

... Rastan Saga

... Rampage

... Rygar

Shite... Can't be bothered posting screenshots of them all (as you can see them in the MAME thread if interested), so just a very quick list of other games that come to into my head:

720, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Rampage, Shinobi (still my favourite), Xain'd Sleena, Xevious, Zaxxon etc. and many, many more..

Once I start I can't stop... LOL

killergorilla · 26 January 2007, 10:39

I forgot all about that MAME thread! I think I'll have my work cut out downloading all these games!

PS: If anyone else on here uses there xbox for emulating arcades and finds it really hard to find any elusive roms for fba-xxx pro let me know. The latest version uses some damn elusive files.

Hungry Horace · 26 January 2007, 16:15

Athena and Wonderboy are my 2 favourite MAME games.... mostly because they rocked on the speccy, but didnt have amiga versions
