Even though I ADDORE the metal Slug series, it's easy to see it more like a neo geo staple more than a mame one, because it basically sums up how neo geo is great and works
This is a good reason to support game preservation. Also arcade classic games that require skill >>>>>> mobile F2P "games" any and every day of the week.
Good list, I always like looking at these to find good games I may have never heard about. These types of lists can easily be over 100 games long so don’t feel like you missed any, that’s what the comments section is for. Just to add a few: UN Squadron Carrier Airwing Battle Toads The Punisher Rolling Thunder Magic Sword Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder
Guy makes list of his favorite games, people argue about why he didn't include their favorites. Tale as old as time. The comments are useful for finding other good games though lol.
Nice list, im modding my arcade1up machine and i dont want 9000 games, i honestly just want like 25-50 games that are good that I will actually play. this is a really good list.
too many fighting games in it for me, games like 1942,time pilot 84,bank panic,mr do,space invaders part II , rainbow islands ,continental circus,frogger just to name a few should have been there lol
This is identical to the previous MAME top 50...I just made it 4:3 with a bezel and added scanlines, as all future videos in this series will look this way I felt it necessary to make these changes.
dunno about time killers... I guess it was an interesting concept to be able to hack of your opponent's limbs in a fighting game and have it affect the gameplay, but other than that it's purely a curiosity. the rest of the list contain some really great games (only a couple I wasn't very familiar with)
I like the list, however I also included Wild West C.O.W. boys of Moo, Spiderman The Arcade Game. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, The Punisher, Biomechanical Toy, Radical Bikers X, T.H. Strikes Back, Elevator Action Returns., Dungeons & Dragons...
It seems we have similar taste! I was looking for a good list of mame games to add to my retro pi and this is exactly what I was looking for! These games are awesome and most of them will definitely be added to my collection! I'll have to check your shmup video next!
Add Robo Army, Magician Lord, The Punisher, Red Earth, Ninja Kids, Elevator Action Returns, Caveman Ninjas, Bad Dudes, Spiderman The Video game arcade, Alien 3: The Gun.
Been trying to setup an PI arcade cabinet, and honestly I have to say MAME is a nightmare... Sorry for venting. Countless emulator versions which of course require according romsets, obscure rom file names, bugs, proprietary bioses and 20 years of outdated internet forum posts as a guide. How you got some of the naomi based games to work is beyond me.
know this is kind of an old comment, but, have you tried batocera? runs like a charm, it is basically a linux distro and it uses Retroarch to handle most emulators (goes from ATARI 2600 all the way to WII U) and comes preconfigured most of the way, like, 90% is already there. regarding NAOMI, I have tried it running just for guilty gear XX like it was nothing, but i don't see why it should give problems with other games. Its as simple as installing, getting the bios (plenty of info in youtube about that and gets updated frecuently), getting the roms (or even the full romset) and configuring controllers (once for all platforms). if a rom is not working with default config, 99% of the time just had to select a different core and that is it or i was missing files for the game to run (CHD). I spent more time downloading than actually doing any config, took me maybe 2 hrs to have it running, including downloads and research. Note.- the only thing i have not tried is installing windows based games (maybe i will try with River city girls), mostly did retro games since that is what i built my cabinet for in the first place.
my first few acrade games i played on real machine as a kid, one of first games i played in this life, and not even one on this list :( outrun, terminator 2, spiderman video game, pacland, asteroids, marble madness, moonwalker, marvel vs capcom, 1943 battle of midway, alien 3 the gun, phoenix, , arkanoid, after burner 2...
it's a personal list, so it really depends on personal opinions, but is Time Killers there as a joke? the game is pure garbage, I can't really imagine anyone having it in their Top20 arcades ever.
When it comes to the fighting games on here, imo King of Fighters 98UM is way better than 94. Also, best version of SF2 is Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. I'd also throw Garou on that list. Pretty solid list though
Really good list, nice variety, but!!! Yes there is a but, no Gun. Smoke??? To be honest it wouldn't have been in my top 50 up until a few weeks ago, hadn't played it in years, spotted it in Capcom classics and I can't stop, its brutally hard but fair, you die because you're not good enough unlike most arcade games that kill you with cheap stuff that you couldn't possibly predict, you have time to react in GS, I just panic.
the only part that sucks(but understandable) is it still depends on your phone specs. ofc that means lower-end phones cannot play roms of games with somewhat demanding graphics, especially if they're 3d(tekken 3, etc.). if you're not having those problems then congrats, you have a good phone.
Too many side scrolling brawler, i think 10 or more. And no shmup? Really, DoDonPachi, Raiden , Galaga 88, Space Invaders or R-Type, at least one of them should be in exchange for any of the side scrolling brawler in your cabinet. Metal Slug? I need to do this too.
This list is so all over the place it can’t be in order can it Where is bad dudes? Mvc2 Ninja giaden Samurai showdown Still some good games but the numbers trigger me 😖
Nice video. I'm using a 27" LCD monitor in an arcade cabinet that I built for MAME. You like using HLSL or just stick with using an effect PNG setting like the 1x2 png? Most older games look quite nice like Dig Dug and others, but I can't seem to get the fighting games to not look so jaggy. Any advice on settings and what you like?
Thanks. Yes, I do use HLSL for mame,and I have found that some games look better than others on occasion. The best advice I can probably give you, short of going through every setting, is to google HLSL presets and try out what's out there. There are a bunch of people who have tweaked and fine tuned it to perfection,and a bunch who are...not so perfect. Everyone has a different idea as to what looks good and what doesn't. When it comes to consoles,I google 'scanlines' and find an appropriate image, then attach it to the bezel/overlay. It's less stress on the emulator,it gives the same look,and it's customizable. If I don't like how it looks,I just try a different scanline image. A good thing to do,because horizontal games don't always look good with the same settings as vertical games,is to keep your settings seperate. Create a 'vertical.ini' and a 'horizont.ini'...place them in your config folder,then modify them seperately. If you still get jagged corners,then look at the settings 'scanline_size' and 'defocus'...maybe those are the culprits.
Hmmmmm...so killer instinct should run on raspberry pi 3? I would think it should yet I have read In online forums killer instinct doesn't run right in Mame on raspberry pi. Anyone try it ?
Wow...Time Killers made the list....Surprised to see that game make any GOOD list. Usually people hate it....I mean, the Genesis version was garbage and probably only put on the Genesis to provide more “mature games”...we all know that game wouldn’t have made it to Super Nintendo
Aver si alguien me puede a ayudar, estoy buscando un juego de family game/famicom famili era de un velerito q iba disparando y matando naves, y robots, cada tanto te dropeaban partes y las agarrabas y te ibas volviendo un velero robot humanoide y cada vez disparabas mas
helmet098 they all are reliable, it all depends on what. version of mame you have. plus you have to make sure you have all the bios files. Don't forget the chd files for games like killer instinct 2 and street fighter 3 strike. Don't stop just on mame, get demul emulator to complete your collection. For games like mvc2, power stone 1 and 2. Crazy taxi. If you Google you can get demul with included bios files, that's what I did. Runs perfect as original arcade board.
I'm surprised not even a single Metal Slug made it. That whole series is an arcade staple.
Even though I ADDORE the metal Slug series, it's easy to see it more like a neo geo staple more than a mame one, because it basically sums up how neo geo is great and works
@bongskey Cristobal Yet he has King of Fighters.
Geo storm was a good precursor to metal slug
It's because Metal Slug series are known worldwide, they don't have to include it on the list
Was gonna write the same. Those games were my favorite to play in arcades back in the 90s
Cadillacs, warriors of fate, metal slug, neo double dragon, blues journey(etc),
Holy crap, Konami's Metamorphic Force! What a game. I love it. Such great animation. A hidden gem.

he made a separate list for shoot em ups
Final Fight, Golden Axe, Snow Bros, Toki, Wonder Boy...
My favorite too dude
@@colourcloud65 🙏🏼🕹
I was going to have the exact same list :-)
How they can put Altered Beast over Golden Axe is beyond me.
Great list! I would add Bad Dudes, Golden Axe, Final Fight, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Samurai Shodown!
Aliens is a winner. One of my all time favs.
This is a good reason to support game preservation.
Also arcade classic games that require skill >>>>>> mobile F2P "games" any and every day of the week.
Good list, I always like looking at these to find good games I may have never heard about. These types of lists can easily be over 100 games long so don’t feel like you missed any, that’s what the comments section is for.
Just to add a few:
UN Squadron
Carrier Airwing
Battle Toads
The Punisher
Rolling Thunder
Magic Sword
Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder
What about Cadillacs and Dinossaurs? List almost perfect. It's a shame.
"This list is merely my opinion. There are many games out there,and we all have our personal preferences. This is mine." Video description
It's someone's opinion...
Instead of people complaining of what's not on your list, why don't they just make their own?
I 💯 PERCENT AGREE!!!!!
Guy makes list of his favorite games, people argue about why he didn't include their favorites. Tale as old as time. The comments are useful for finding other good games though lol.
Because they didn't read in the description that this list is only his personal opinion and not carved in stone along with the ten commandments
Black tiger. Dude. DUDE! so amazeballs.
Rival schools/Project justice - I miss those games.
Nice list, im modding my arcade1up machine and i dont want 9000 games, i honestly just want like 25-50 games that are good that I will actually play. this is a really good list.
You got to have the "impossible to beat" games in, like Galaxians, Space Invaders, Battle Zone
So many great arcade games throughout the years! I'd add chase HQ and Primal Rage!
too many fighting games in it for me, games like 1942,time pilot 84,bank panic,mr do,space invaders part II , rainbow islands ,continental circus,frogger just to name a few should have been there lol
😎😎
Good list thank you for taking the effort to put in the chapter time stamps really helps when watching these kind of videos. Keep up the good work!
This is identical to the previous MAME top 50...I just made it 4:3 with a bezel and added scanlines, as all future videos in this series will look this way I felt it necessary to make these changes.
glad I watched this, i played black tiger at the mall when I was a kid. couldn't think of the name so I could download it.
You need to try Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, it shits on all of the Beat em ups you mentioned including Turtles in Time.
dunno about time killers... I guess it was an interesting concept to be able to hack of your opponent's limbs in a fighting game and have it affect the gameplay, but other than that it's purely a curiosity. the rest of the list contain some really great games (only a couple I wasn't very familiar with)
I like the list, however I also included Wild West C.O.W. boys of Moo, Spiderman The Arcade Game. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, The Punisher, Biomechanical Toy, Radical Bikers X, T.H. Strikes Back, Elevator Action Returns., Dungeons & Dragons...
I never realized how many beat'em ups where at the arcade lol

Super stoked on your channel you are doing great work! One I would add is 2 on 2 open ice challenge!!!
jagr......, scores!
Thank you!
I was searching for altered beasts but didnt know the name, I knew it would be on such a list :"D
I guess you're not a fan of driving or vehicle based shooters?
which ones?
@@RetroHumanoid metal slug
A good driving one is 1000 miglia
Add Robo Army, Magician Lord, The Punisher, Red Earth, Ninja Kids, Elevator Action Returns, Caveman Ninjas, Bad Dudes, Spiderman The Video game arcade, Alien 3: The Gun.
Good list. I would have added Afterburner, Golden Axe, Outrun, Shinobi and Streets of Rage (Bare Knuckle).

great list of must have arcade games.. next on ur list should be top 50 shmups.. don't forget em!
Oh I won't forget...it's definitely on the to-do list!
That Bucky O Hare game looks great but can’t ever seem to find it
This is base on nostalgia and personal gameplay favorites. I have all neogeo, cps1, cps2 including all mentioned here.
Yep...just like every other countdown on youtube,it's personal preference. Show me the perfect list,and i'll show you 1000 people who disagree.
Bubble Bobble 39! That's absurd. That game is one of the best games ever made. Certainly worthy of a top 5 ranking on this list if games...
Punisher? Cadillacs and Dinosaurs?
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Punisher was class as well
I’d put outrun in top 10 along with r type,space harrier,virtual racing,operation wolf to name just a few .
Ahh the sound of arcade games
Great job :-)
wow those iRobot 3D graphics were way ahead of its time
my first few acrade games i played on real machine as a kid, one of first games i played in this life, and not even one on this list :( outrun, terminator 2, spiderman video game, pacland, asteroids, marble madness, moonwalker, marvel vs capcom, 1943 battle of midway, alien 3 the gun, phoenix, , arkanoid, after burner 2...

Good list, but no Wrestlefest, Marvel vs. Capcom or Metal Slug? Guess you'd need more slots maybe a top 100.
My favorites was Robocop and Moonwalker Michael Jackson
Sinistar should have been one of the highest ranked games on this list. Good choices, though :D
When it comes to the fighting games on here, imo King of Fighters 98UM is way better than 94. Also, best version of SF2 is Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. I'd also throw Garou on that list. Pretty solid list though
neat cool games
Tapper has to be in there for me somewhere.
Turtles in Time at #1? Start agian!
Oh, Metamorphic Force, my jaaaam
The neogeo games should be a list on their own
this list needs moar rolling thunder
Glad to see Rohga and King of Dragons on the lst
How is WWF WrestleMania on the list but WWF WrestleFest isn’t?
Does anyone remember a arcade game where you play as a kid and you shoot fire balls or hydokens? I remember him looking like gohan but idk
where is elevator action?! clearly belongs on that list (and rather high up as well)
Le falto mas tiempo en las arcades a nuestro anfitrion Recorto muchas joyas
How is undertaker still wrestling?!?!
He's immortal.
Thank you guys

Where do you even download Mame games safely anymore? Seems like the big sites have been taken down.
Some ROMS just won't play no matter which version I use. It opens for a second then closes immediately.
not 1 neo geo game. and no final fight. ur crazy mann
John Phillips #JeyDoeProductions he had king of fighters which was snk and developed for the NeoGeo MVS
Well done, thx for providing listing too
How the hell do you have Altered Beast ranked higher than Metamorphic Force? :p
I got all of these games on my phone through a Mame emulator for Android
And they suck to play on a phone. What's your point?
Great. Did i miss Galaga?
Broooo metal slug 3 missing 😭 top notch game
Rastan made top 10!
Rygar? Metal Slug? 1943? Wonderboy?
Still, nice list :) Thanks!
he said in the video description that there is no shoot em ups because he has a separate video for those
Too many side scrolling brawler, i think 10 or more. And no shmup? Really, DoDonPachi, Raiden , Galaga 88, Space Invaders or R-Type, at least one of them should be in exchange for any of the side scrolling brawler in your cabinet. Metal Slug?
I need to do this too.
I made 2 other videos devoted to shooters
I get this is your opinion. If you had better taste, you might have more followers. That's my opinion but pretty solidly backed by objective evidence.
This list is so all over the place it can’t be in order can it
Where is bad dudes?
Mvc2
Ninja giaden
Samurai showdown
Still some good games but the numbers trigger me 😖
AWESOME!
