The Simpsons was always my favorite, but also really the only arcade game I ever played more than once.
- Love it, will for sure replay it again.
- Gotta get on that metal slug shit. I had one of them on the ps1 I had a rousing time trying to beat as a kid, finally did over my cousin's house.
  MARCO! WHOA BIG! RAWKET LAWN CHAIR!!
- hell yeah, Karnov. reminded me of Rastan.
- absolute FIRE list. no notes.
In no particular order:
Giga Wing
Metal Slug 3
Raiden 2
Donpachi
Air Gallet
Area 88
Qix
Sinistar
- Might as well list DoDonpachi along with Donpachi. And Dangun Feveron, Battle Garegga, Batsugun…
- ty!
Night Striker's a favorite of mine. Also gonna shout out Battle Circuit, Raiden DX, and Exerion. (if you can get used to the momentum simulation)
- Battle Circuit
  Such a goofy game, I love the girl on the ostrich that pecks enemies.
- The dreamcast port of mvc2 was flawless
Strikers 1945 II
Tetris the grand Master 2 plus
Lunar Lander
Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. It's a side-scrolling beat-em-up by Capcom with RPG elements like armor and weapons, branching paths and multiple endings.
- DD SOM is literally my fav arcade game of all time!
  
  How was Tower of Doom? Never played that one
Espgaluda, or really any Cave game imo but I especially like this one and MAME is the best way to play it. The slowdown in the CV1000 games isn't very accurate*, but everything else should emulate great. Battle Garegga is another good game if you are a sicko.
*You can lower the CPU speed in the settings for those games and it makes it feel good enough, but it's still not really accurate and there's not just a default Good setting for it either. Usually around 50% is close enough iirc.
I was always into those side scroller, beat em ups. Final Fight, Combatribes, Aliens, DJ Boy, Turtles in Time, Golden Axe, Battletoads, Bad Dudes, Ninja Gaiden. there's so many and I dumped so many quarters as a kid that I took special delight in beating the shit out of them in MAME with infinite credits.
that's all I remember for now, but if I think of any more I'll name drop them.
Spy Hunter Sinistar Joust Tron
1943
19XX
Aliens vs Predator
Primal Rage (maybe, sometimes fighting games can be played alright with a keyboard)
DJ Boy (Streets of Rage beatum-up on roller skates/blades)
I like plain old stuff like Ms. Pacman. Stuff like Centipede kinda needs a joystick.
