To tell the truth the games I like are basically broken into a few catagories.
Classic: DK & DK JR, Ms. pac, Track & Field, Gauntlet 2, etc. These games are the ones that if you do not have them...shame on you. My main control pannel has all 8 way sticks & microswitch buttons but Iv got 4 4way sticks & 4 leaf buttons & so I plan to build a 4 way stick after I finish up the cp (iv already built the box for testing the other setup & it only has 4 wholes in it so its all good, and I got an extra pad so I can build a 4 way stick in about 2 hours
Utterly Great Games: All the classics follow into this catigory (I debated building a starwars CP but decided some day Ill have a REAL Starwars of my own) but some games are newer but great also. SF2 goes into this catagory as being totally wonderful (Im still a World Warriors fiend, dont like the other variants as much but I give them a wirl occaisionally :), as well as LastBlade 2 & SS 2 & 4. Ninja Turtles & The Simpsons go in here, as well as AD&D TOD if its ever emulated. Also 3 Kingdoms.
New Games: Atomic Bomberman is cool, but networking sucks but when your cab has 4 sidewinders which are fully supported by AB then its all cool :) yes this is a PC game, but mesa likin it alot :) I have a friend who may help write a program so I can play worms armageddon, that would be cool too. I love 4 player simultanious games so I like some of the N64 games. Hopefully I will set up a Doom 2 SRC hack on the cabinet. Control wont be very exact but maby that will level the playing field. I have a 4 node lan but none of my friends will play anymore :) The only new games which I would like to see emulated would be Rampage World Tour & Mario Cart 64. Also Saturn Emu would be leet too for AD&D TOD :)
I think above all things on my cabinet Gauntlet 2 is getting me the most eager followed closly by Last Blade 2 and then Ms. Pac.
