I'm sitting here bored at work right now and I'd like to play some arcade games on MAME. I'm looking for some more obscure titles that have easy controls, i.e. one button and joystick, that I can play on my laptop using the keyboard. Any suggestions?

Remember, more obscure, not pac-man, SI, etc :)

I'm a pretty big fan of "The Glob".

Motos, and Mappy.

(not too obscure.. but anyway)
Easy to play on a keyboard.
I used to have an old Namco Compilation on the Company laptop

I second the shmups recommendation. Those are the best to play on a laptop, IMO. I played a bunch of Strikers today at school.

Puzzle Fighter is pretty good.

You can play just about anything on a keyboard, really.
I've had to resort to keyboard controls more than a few times, mostly playing fighters, and you may be surprised by how well it works.
