Arcade Games Suggestions?

[NeoVamp]

Also, what's with emulation? It just seems odd that a console system that can pump out Dead or Alive Ultimate
can't handle Virtua Fighter the First, ya know?

Its common knowledge that Emulation always takes much more CPU power then a compiled binary created for the actual system.

Oh. Well then. Guess that answers THAT.



This was the only video I could find about the game. One of my friends who's a shmup fanatic LOVES this game.

So I played a few arcade games and must say metal slug x super weapons and 1944 The loop master are so far my fav.

Don't know what everyone else posted in here, only read the initial post. But anyhow I can
suggest these mustplay games:

Mortal Kombat 1 - 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

All the arguing about which port of MK2 is better will be over then, perfect Arcade replication
guaranteed : D UMK3 will be missing Brutalities and some of the characters will require
codes to be played, but still a worthy MK.

Also I think anything Sega should be tried out also, but that's just obvious.

Cheers for the suggestions guys, just off to try some of these.

Please, keep them up!

How come no one's mentioned Naomi games? Many of which are perfectly playable in Makaron or Demul. Some fine shmups and fighting games, among others.

It's a shame that Model 3 emulation is still preliminary. Daytona 2, VOOT and Scud Race would be too awesome to play bit-by-emulated-bit.

No I didn't, and I said it right from the start : D I just know that MKs are not that appreciated
here, so I push them at any occasion I can find.

@N.Saibot: I love the MKs! I just meant that in another post in this thread I already have them on collections.
@Pulstar: None of them are Xbox emulators are they? I would love to play Noami games, but I don't think the Xbox would have the specs to power them...

So I downloaded dnd the shadow over mystara and it is pretty cool

Oops missed that part.

Just finished playing Guardians of the Hood. Wow, I never thought I'd play a game that can topple PitFighter for crapness...and yet I did. Anymore turds out there like this?

[ItellYaHuat]

You CANNOT leave out Super Battletoads. It is a jawsum gory 3-player beat-em up.

I've been playing Cyberbots a lot lately - it's a very underappreciated game. Liked it so much I just bought the LE Saturn version.

Here's some footage from a tournament held in Japan last year:

Is there a compatibility list for Xbox MAME? A DAT maybe?

Oh, how I would LOVE to see Sega Model 3 emulation reach the level Sega Model 2 emulation's now at. In the meantime, I think I'll look around for a bare Daytona USA 2 Power Edition PCB.

Now, as for recommendations, may I recommend Gradius through Gradius III, and the spinoffs Salamander and Life Force? Don't forget Thunder Force AC, Contra and Super Contra.
