Five favorite ARCADE games available in MAME
-
@IanDaemon Have you played the NES version of Rolling Thunder? That is another game that was much improved on the NES. The pacing is much more exciting than the arcade version and you still get the awesome soundtrack.
-
@VictimRLSH I have not. I've played the arcades versions of RT and RT2. Now I have to take a look at the NES version.
-
Probably my most played arcade games on actual arcade hardware from back in the day:
Tron
Mortal Kombat 1-3
Final Fight
Street Fighter II
Hard Drivin'/Race Drivin'My favorite MAME games to play on RetroPie with my friends (I like co-op beat 'em up's!):
Final Fight
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
The Simpsons
Captain CommandoOne of the rarest arcade games I've ever played would have to be Time Traveler:
-
@IanDaemon on my pi 3s it runs good on lr-mame2010, one of the Japanese roms, since its not censored. 👍
-
@Dipkid "Won't somebody think of the children." XD
I remember seeing Time Traveler in the arcade at the "Monroeville Mall" back in the day. (southwest Pennsylvania, kinda northeast U.S.) That was pure magic to see in person as a kid.

wonder boy
Rygar
Shinobi
P.O.W ( prisoners of war)
karnov or tiger road I lean more towards tiger road though to be honest -

Before it closed, a local arcade had Holoseum which was a street fighter style fighting game that used the same holographic hardware as Time Traveler. I can still hear some of the sounds in my head ("Drunk monkey!").

@backstander I never played Time Traveler because, if I recall, it was crazy expensive in the arcade when I saw it. As a kid I just watched the attract reel over and over.
-
- City Connection
- Bomb Jack
- Gauntlet
- Mr Do!
- Pang! (Buster Bros. for US)
- Shinobi
I know, there's 6 and not 5, but I cannot take one off.
-
@nono6493 Considering your list has both City Connection and Mr Do! on it, you get a pass. XD Those are two great titles. And I still hate that cat.
-
I've found another gem. Puzz Loop 2.
Both me and my wife loves it! -
@langest Was that originally a spinner game? Trackball game? Joystick game? I can't find a picture of the original arcade cabinet right now.
-
Joystick I believe. I base that on that the tutorial in the game shows a joystick.

I love these threads. I know there is allot of duplication with others but still :)
What would be a good idea is a Desert Island type selection. You only have 5 arcade games for the rest of your life ... now pick :)Ms.Pac-Man
Donkey Kong
Tetris
Street Fighter Alpha 3
DoDonPachi -
Oh man, I love these threads, they're a great way to discover new gems. My list:
- Bubble Bobble
- Bosconian
- Donkey Kong
- Fast Lane
- Any Metal Slug
-
Psychic 5
Bubble Bobble
Mag Max
Wonderboy in Monsterland
Jackal -
@IanDaemon
Found Giga Wing which I also enjoyed.
It's similar to DonPachi, but you don't need to turn your tv on the side to fit the screen. -
@langest It's not in my Top 5, but I definitely play it frequently.
