Five favorite ARCADE games available in MAME
-
-
@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

@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.
-
My top five classic MAME games from golden age.
- Tapper
- Joust
- Gauntlet
- Robotron
- Rampage
-
Mine (in no order)
-
Satan's Hollow
Two Tigers
Wizard of Wor
Time Pilot

@tpo1990 Those are some great titles.
- I recently put Tapper on my cocktail cabinet and, although I find it a stressful game, it's great to have the "Budweiser" licensed version on my arcade cocktail (tabletop) cabinet.
- Robotron: 2084 is a classic. I'm really glad I got that game working with two joysticks.
- I bought the first "Arcade1Up" cabinet and it includes Rampage, Joust, and Gauntlet! (It also has Defender, but I find the original control scheme tough to use.)
-
A lot of my favourite games were on the Atari and Amiga, ported from original arcade games. So in no particular order;
Donkey Kong
Pac-Man
Tempest
Bubble Bobble
Rainbow IslandsRemember playing Tempest in the arcade, not having a clue on what I was doing (just spinning the spinner and firing - the equivalent of button mashing) yet managed to get the highest score :-)
-
@IanDaemon Yes I feel that any arcade owner should at least have those classic titles. Defender is a cool game although I'm not a big fan of it. I also find it hard to use the control scheme.
You could easily mention more than five great arcade games but those are the one that comes to my mind.

Well, if necro-ing is allowed here, here are some of mine:
- Final Fight
- DoDonPachi
- Elevator Action 2 (does the Rolling Thunder thing with a lot of style)
- Bubble Bobble
- OutRun
If I only had 5 games on my setup, these would very likely be the ones. I love several of the ones that have been mentioned so far, and I left a handful out of the list, but I'm happy with this one.
