I always like browsing the MAME catalog playing games I haven't seen or heard of, but it's a crap-shoot at times. This thread is for sharing your favorite arcade games both popular and obscure. We can reminisce and maybe learn about some hidden gems. Everyone's tastes are different and this isn't meant to be a top game list. Let's be chill. My favorites: Chameleon - An older Burger Time style game with some really good dynamics for the era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PwdkVGWYJc Monster Farm Jump - A forced perspective tile based pogo-stick game similar to Monkey Ball in concept. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpFlf8_PUro Neo Drift Out - A top down rally racing game. Fun and fast paced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9Tm9FxsXU8 Space Harrier - Classic 2.5D shooting game. Really fast and gorgeous for the time period. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzgrb-mjLaM Robotron 2084 - Another classic. Utilized 2 sticks for movement and shooting direction. Hyperactive trippy and surprisingly intense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9kXKzYorFo Sinistar - Probably the best game to play with friends who have no idea what is about to happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcyBtVwAsfg NBA Jam - One of my favorite multi-person party games. Round-robin tournaments with cheap beer are amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvwhP0o7OsM

The best arcade games are all the ones with wacky controls, poo poo like a fake tank you get in to do tank battle or a fake snowboard you get on to do snow tricks.

One of my favorite obscure titles from the mid-90's was The Outfoxies. It was kind of a proto-Smash-Bros.; you and your opponent had a big arena to run around littered with weapons to pick up and use. There were some pretty creative stages, including a moving train and a circus.

street fighter 2, mortal kombat 3, and the game thats like ddr but it has turntables. there was a game my friends use to play at a community center. it was a robot game where it had two machines attached to it. the game lets you pick between some robots and you fight one on one with another person or the AI in death match style.

The rest are crap. 4+ not as good but all of them are collectiely the nicest looking games... possibly... ever... on the other hand i recently downloaded the simpsons arcade game for mame and it pretty much blows. It made me think "maybe actually what i enjoyed all those years ago was childhood". that bad.

Again, the arcade owner could link up cabinets so you could have up to 8 people blasting each other. http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9674

Thunderfox - A side-scrolling shooter with a really good fun/difficulty balance. Varied level designs and game modes make it a fun one to plow through over an hour with a buddy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeqQlOUKFzM

CarnEvil - My favorite video shooter because, obviously, the pump action shotgun. The graphics aren't bad either It is too bad they don't make the shotguns for an emulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT9OdJ5snoQ

I remember my local arcade also had a rad Fighter jet game where you would sit inside a cockpit and the whole thing would rock back and forth as you flew in the game. I wish i remembered what it was called this was way back pre 9/11
