Best games for an arcade cabinet
I am interested in putting some of these games on my arcade cabinet and was wondering whether there was a top 500 games list which are "cabinet friendly" and which are good games (of course).
I like "James Pond" ..... but would really like to hear about other games people enjoy a lot ..... |

Well the following are very arcade friendly!
Rodland New Zealand Story Rainbow Islands Qwak Pang Super Stardust Ruff 'n Tumble Cybernetix Transplant There's probably more too, but I think these are a great start. |

Fightin' Spirit is absolutely perfect. It looks and plays just like an SNK/Neo Geo arcade fighting game. Deluxe Galaga is also one worthy of cabinet play, since it's even BETTER than the arcade original version of Galaga.

I agree that Deluxe Galaga would be a great cabinet game (complete with high score saving)
You could also consider simpler type games such as Pang, Pipeline, Mine Runner or Dr Mario. |

oh, stop it, this makes me wanna put Gravity-Force in my Cherry cab and wire the controls to an Atari style panel...
Anyway, Graftgold made quite a few games that would work in a cab... Rainbow Islands is obvious, IIRC it was so close to the coin-op that you had to press a key to insert coins before starting? Simulcra... Paradroid 90... Rally Cross Challenge... ...And don't forget Nebulus and Bubble Bobble! Or Aunt Arctic Adventure? Giana Sisters... |

Well, I don't want to offend people here, I think you should primarily look towards Neo Geo games.
There were, and are, the best Arcade games in my opinion. |

I totally agree with you Garth, Neo-Geo are the best
However in regards to this thread, I think unclet is trying to work out what Amiga games would be best to run through his cab |

Just check the CD32200 (and some of the other CD32 clollections ) All those games can be run with out keyboard.
I've been poking arond trying to fix a good collection of games that would work on my neo-geo candy cab. All arcade conversion are out, since you've got the PCBs or mame.. that just leaves amiga "only" games, preferebly the CD32WHD versions. (This is just a dir dump, so some of the games/names aren't 100% checked (logical still needs keyboard for no reason), and some games req trackball) Addams Family, The (1992)(Ocean)(M3)[0419] (Genesis version instead?)
