Five favorite ARCADE games available in MAME
-
@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.
-
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
Cabal -
@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.

Off topic, how do you add a topic to a post? I'm trying to ask a question and I can't add a topic, so I can't post.

If you click on the "in tray icon (the first one after the joystick. it shows unread topics, and you should see new topic there. You have to give it a category (help, projects) and assign soe tags in order to post.
-
@Impman66 I appreciate the reply, and I see the tags, but still have no idea how to add a topic to my post.
edit: Just got it, lol only took me half an hour. -
