Recommend some MAME games for me!

[Cmosfm]

Thanks to VACRMH I finally got MAME up and running! I've gotten jusst about all the consoles emulated and now Im having a blast using my "Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator"

Now, can anyone recommend me some good games to check out? Ive been playing Beat em ups lately, so some of those would be good, but Id really like recommendations on any type of games. I stormed through Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker & Aliens Vs. Predator today...and Ive got X-Men paused right now.

So anyways, recommend away! :D

Vendetta: Best...beat-em-up....ever. Check out the review page here on the site for more. Also, the MAME game o' the week is always a good choice. We should probably be keeping track of the games were picking by the way for situations just like this...

[Kid Ice]

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

[Retsudo]

Shouldnt this be in the Emulation section?

Ohwell, If you like the classics, Donkey Kong, DKjr., DigDug, Carrier Airwing, U.N. Squadron, Asteroids, Galaga, Galaxian, and the others LOL

Great 1000 Miles Rally (Racing game)
Karian Cross (Puyo Puyo style puzzle game with anime girls)

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (Great puzzle game)
Knights of the Round (Another good Capcom fighter)
Magic Sword (yet another good Capcom fighter)
Panic Bomber (Bomberman themed puzzle game)
Major Havoc (An underappreciated classic)

Atomic Robokid (Shooter/platformer hybrid)
Tumble Pop (Bubble Bobble with vaccuum cleaners)

I just need a good place to download new MAME ROMs. I'm missing nearly everything in the .75 update, and I desperately want some of those games!

Anyway, if you're looking for obscure but fun games to play on MAME, check out my column on Digital Press, MAMExpose. I just wrote a new installment which should be up on the site in a week, maybe less.

The spammers are getting more clever.

This topic is such a blast from the past, though. So many old regulars that have been MIA for a long time.

[Enigmus]

EDIT: 2004? Wow, I need to get some sleep.

[stalepie]

Thanks for resurrecting the old thread, whoever did that. Loving Marvin's Maze and Butasan. Wish I could get some of the others working.

[Kitsune Sniper]

... Yeah, wow, a lot of these people haven't even been here in years...
