      @victimrlsh thanks for pointing out Speed Rumbler. This is a lot of fun.

      I was just looking into the respective manual and found a very interesting chapter

      I like to look into the commercial aspect of those arcade games. You can be sure that the games development put huge efforts in optimizing profit. And it is interesting how this affects gameplay. Not only by making games difficult but also find ways to keep the player interested. The whole idea of "continue" is often a very good argument for putting that next coin in. I did not know that there are hints to how to optimize profit in the manuals! Cool find!

        Maybe we should start collecting all games from the topic (every other topic too) and do a user defined list for easier include and share.

        I'd be a huge task, but a welcome effort.

        So, it's done.

        Custom Collection

        I compiled a list of recommended games in this thread. The collection does not cover everything mentioned here. If you want add something to the list, feel free to download it, modify and upload again.

        custom-hidden gems and insider tips.cfg (v1, 2018-08-12)

        Game count for each system

        megadrive: 22
        snes: 52
        nes: 9
        fds: 6
        n64: 1
        mame2003 (mame-libretro folder): 49
        mame2010 (arcade folder): 14
        fba: 13
        neogeo: 7
        gb: 9
        gbc: 2
        gba: 11
        atari2600: 1
        gamegear: 1
        mastersystem: 3
        pcengine: 37

        Not included games and systems

        But not all games made it; I had some trouble or don't use these systems. Mostly referring to the first post of mediamogul, where a lot of different systems are used to recommend games. In example I don't use other Atari systems other than Atari 2600 and so I don't have the filenames. Off course I could check somewhere else, but forgive me here for my lazyness. I also excluded complicated to setup systems like Amiga and DOS, which aren't straight forward to add through such a listing, at least not in my experience. Same goes to CD based systems, most prominently the Playstation and PC Engine. There are also several games I couldn't find in my archive, like Gameboy: 'Square Deal' and Atari 2600: 'Dolphin'. While I found Square Deal later on a different source and included it into the list, I need to test which version to include for Dolphin and so excluded it for now. Ninja Baseball Batman is also not included for its slowdown problems. I also did not include games created by rom randomizers for obvious reasons.

        Why you need path correction (script)

        There are a lot of filenames, which will or may not match what you have installed. It starts with custom filenames due to translation patches or different regional versions of games. Or even games with same checksum and region, they are just named differently with (U) or (USA) in example. Then there are different filetypes. Not only that, I also have 4 different folders and systems showing up in my menu for arcade games. I use mame2003 (folder=mame-libretro), mame2010 (folder=arcade), FB Alpha v0.2.97.43 (folder=fba). I also use separate folder for Neo Geo games (folder=neogeo), which still uses same FBA emulator. And you might use genesis folder, instead of megadrive like i do.

        What am I talking about is a script, which will try to find the rom with different filename or folder and rename the collection entry automatically. It will create a new collection, based on the corrected paths in it without touching your roms itself. I highly recommend to checkout the script made by @cyperghost:

          @mediamogul Watching the little people run around on fire, then collapse and die is morbidly delightful, to the point where I'll deliberately spin out in a pile of fuel barrels just to send them flying into people.

          System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

            @thelostsoul hey thanks for your big effort making this list.

            Can you explain why you include the specific game path in your list? What is the usecase? I think i am missing something... Usually i go with batch copy list applied to a complete romset, so i simply add a new game from a recommendation and include it in the batch file to have my personal ongoing list of games...

              @robertvb83 Becasue it's easier to convert a custom collection as to add more than 200 entries manually per system... I'm satiesfied with the output. Most titles are Japanese ones that I simple don't have installed. So I count 142 matches out of 237

                ... and thank you for posting that manual page. Very fascinating. Casino's have this kind of psychological warfare down to a science. It's really interesting to see how it was approached for arcades.

                  @mediamogul I always wondered how arcade developers design their games to appeal to casual gamers as well as professionals.

                    @clyde I think the key is to have two levels of complexity. Simple controls and straightforward play get the casual players to start playing your game. Complex story arcs and diverse choices later on will keep the hardcore gamers playing. The card game Texas Hold'Em is a great example. You can explain the rules to someone in 5 minutes and they can start playing, but understanding how to master the game is a career-level undertaking. The board game Othello is the same way.

                    Pac Man is a great example of how a player can make the game as simple or as complicated as they like. You can randomly run around and eat dots and dodge ghosts, or you can try complex patterns and strategies to avoid the ghosts. Either way, quarters are going to get into the bucket from both types of players.

                    An example of a game that only appeals to hardcore players is Williams' Stargate. You have an insane number of buttons, it's a thrust inertia game, and the difficulty is staggering. Definitely a game that scares away casual gamers.

                      @robertvb83 You can in fact copy the list to the custom collection folder and then go with it. If you create a collection from EmulationStation, it will have same format and path. I did this list for you, so you don't need to add anything, besides if you use different folders or other differences. But then the recommended script will help you out.

                            @cyperghost I had a brief look in the output you posted. For the megadrive games it did not found the versions with .md filetype. Those are with "(Japan)" or "(USA)" instead of "(U)" and "(J)". Maybe thats why the script couldn't find them. Some games like Comix Zone and Ooze have a number in filename. What does those mean?

                            And a lot of the snes not found games are actually very interesting. I know, many of them are Japanese versions or translated, but I encourage you to look further into them if you have some time left (some examples Great Battle series, Clock Tower, Umihara Kawase, Alcahest). What is the "Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (U) [!]"? The list does not contain any Bubsy game, but it found one? Various titles at "Dialog hold" are wrong, so I hope you did not include without knowing it.

                            You also miss out great nes recommendations, like Felix the Cat, Nightshade. And a lot of file not found arcade games are just in wrong folder mame-libretro or you really don't have them installed. Definitely check there for games like gunbird2, boomrang, cosmccop, joinem, rohga or boogwing. It was interesting to look in what your script found.

                            @Clyde This is true. I do more stuff like this, instead of playing. Whenever I think I am done, I find new work.

                              @thelostsoul No I posted the second run so all files named .md were renamed .bin those which are still *.md are not found in my ROMs collection. So it stands as I said ... my collections are lacking japanese titles. Also my NES collection is small ... I installed only european titles.

                              So trust the script ;) It's working as it should (but maybe someone can improve this with RegEx or checksum search ;)

                                @cyperghost Ah ok, that makes sense. I should never doubt it. :D I just wondered, but now you can ignore it. Should I delete/edit the content of posting, so others don't get confused?

                                  Latest discovery: H.E.R.O. on the Atari 2600. This is a truly great quest game, once again pushing the limits of what the pathetic specs on the 2600 could handle.

                                  You have a helicopter backpack, a helmet with laser eye beams, and several sticks of dynamite. You have to fly down into caverns filled with traps and monsters to free the poor bastard trapped at the bottom. After you rescue each person, a new level starts that is longer and trickier than the last.

                                    I agree. The game is easily one of the top five games on the 2600 in both graphics and game play. It's criminal that it's hardly ever talked about. Also, it was never really improved on when ported to other platforms.

                                      @mediamogul @VictimRLSH Here's another self-confessed H.E.R.O. fan. I even "finished" the C64 version back in the days by reaching the maximum score possible.

                                      Fun fact: the score display then would turn into "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" if I remember correctly. You could send a photo of it to an address mentioned in the manual to receive some goodies.

                                        I was watching an interview with Carol Shaw earlier this evening and she said the same thing happens to the score in 'River Raid' as well. I never got any of the Activision patches myself. I was old enough at the time to hold the controller and mess around a little bit, but too young to be any good. My older brother, on the other hand, got the Activision Explorers Patch for getting 20,000 points in 'Pitfall!'. A much belated congratulations on your C64 'H.E.R.O.' score. That's quite an accomplishment.

                                        Edit: Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen the Activision patches mentioned here. They're really interesting and they made quite a few, so I thought I'd link to the AtariAge gallery that has them all for anyone who wants to take a look.

                                            It never stops to amaze me how I was able to win many of these games as a kid. Now, even with saving mid level made possible, I have serious difficulties with most of the titles I actually was good at back then. Fun times but considering the skill, dedication and motivation needed, I feel like I could have done something more productive..
