As one of those people who has multiple sets of thousands of roms, I'll say this: Those massive sets should really only be reserved for data hoarders, the kinds of people who like archiving stuff in case it gets taken down or the world ends or something. Whether you're just starting out or have been in the emulation game for a long time, stick with getting the games you need and nothing more. It'll save you lots of time and your hard drive will thank you.

Sometimes emulation brings that out in a person, particularly those who are fascinated with the past we lived but they never got to experience. The same as the Elvis and rock and roll spirit continues on. In that regard, it's incredible to set back and marvel at how the actual spirit of posterity and sometimes even sacredness moves with the ages. And they told us there's no country for old men? Not on earth, no. It's in the mind and the spirit. It was more than we mistook it for. But holy God do I get it!!! I can't get behind a million 4 bit CPU pong board rips. Sometimes I would have to use other versions of mame to get different games running. Fun times, learning mame!!!

You instantly see all the top rated games at the top. It groups them by stars too so you can easily see where the games sit.

I agree with the title. I'm someone that's a little obsessed with collecting roms. I have full collections for a lot of systems, NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color....some others. But what I've found myself doing, is making a "favorites" folder for them, where I put the games that I like. So yeah, it's kinda pointless to have the entire rom set for a system, but it's neat that I CAN have them. Thing is though, there is some benefit to having massive rom collections. You can find games no one ever talks about. Scroll through, find a game you never heard of, try it out. I've found quite a few games over the years that no one talks about, and I've never heard of, but they're still decently fun games. ________________ As for my current Mame list, I have 339 games, and still adding more. I'm not grabbing everything ever, but I'm grabbing games that I'd consider decent or popular. I have the obvious games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Popeye, Galaga, and Frogger. Then I have some stuff like Ghouls N Ghosts, Golden Axe, Final Fight, Gun.Smoke. And then things like the many versions of Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter 3 and the Alpha games, Fatal Fury (every version), King of Fighters (every version), the Marvel fighters. I have tons of NeoGeo games like Metal Slug, Cyber Lip, and such. Some other CPS3 games like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Red Earth. But, then I have stuff like Hook, Kangaroo, Mega Twins, NBA Jam, Golden Tee Golf and Neo Turf Masters, Operation Thunderbolt, The different Pac-Man games like Pac-Land and Pac-Man Plus, Pengo, Pirate Ship Higemaru, and soooo many others. I also have a ridiculous amount of shmups. I'm constantly watching videos like this, or walkthroughs of old arcades (or even modern arcades like Free Play), looking for more games to download. I don't want a massive collection of every single arcade game that ever existed. But I DO want a pretty definitive list of the GOOD arcade games. The ones I could actually see myself or my friends sitting down to play. I usually end up with at least one new game per day, sometimes more. Hell, the other day I added 41 new games to my list. In fact, here's a list of what I have currently: pastebin.com/F6Xe0kMK

You’re totally correct and definitely not wrong with that approach. This list is definitely a starting point as the hunt for “roms” can become an obsessive passion, especially when talking about the consoles & handhelds too. I still hunt & peck for games I hear of as I enjoy the thrill of it. Share some cool/obscure games you’ve located as I’d love to check ‘em out!
@Captain-Cosmo 11 ай бұрын
Glad to hear someone else admit this. I graduated high school in 1984 and thrived in arcades between '78 and '84, a general time associated with the "golden age" of arcades. And, with only a few exceptions, my MAME collection consisted of roughly 50 or so games that were very popular during that time, such as Defender, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Tempest, and so forth. After 1984, arcades larglely turned to "shoot-em-ups" like 1944 and fighting games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, and the ENDLESS knock-offs and variations. I know that these were popular with some, but they just weren't my thing. I did appreciate a good racing game, such as Ace Driver and Ridge Racer, which came much later, but by and large my arcade interest mostly wanes after around 1983. I once downloaded one of those giant romsets and, aside from just a few oddities like Halloween Donkey Kong or Tempest Tubes, found it way to cumbersome to sift through. MORE IS NOT BETTER.
@Andros2709 11 ай бұрын

@moxxichannel5950 2 жыл бұрын
Battlezone is one of those games that requires the proper joysticks to play properly - you'd need two joysticks with fire buttons on them. Stargate is another clusterfuck of buttons and joysticks that would befuddle the average MAME gamer. That's the reason I didn't include them - and not because they're not classic. They definitely are.
@bm63 2 жыл бұрын
@@moxxichannel5950 My arcade machine is actually a Robofendergate (Robotron/Defender/Stargate) and I guess that also allows for Battlezone due to my button layout l. With Stargate by flipping a few buttons - Reverse you can tap with your thumb - just makes life much easier to play, you don’t need to play all of them just - fire - thrust - reverse - 90% of the time. Check my arcade cabinet video and you get what I mean. Tempest/Stargate are my most played youth games when I were a kid - with a touch of Crazy Kong (not Donkey Kong) and Defender.

Just a sniper of my all time favs are 1942, Mr Do, Shinobi, Altered beast , bomb jack bubble bobble, commando, dugdig Gauntlet 1+2 , Outrun, pacman robocop, wonderboy defender , star wars , street fighter 2 Ghosts and Goblins , Gun smoke, Imarı Warriors , many more that I can't think of right now. Im kinda switch to Mister Fpga , so you only get the arcades that talented folks have managed to recreate the actually boards , so much better feel than software emulation, for me anyway ..

@moxxichannel5950 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks my friend! Those are 3 fine games and I’ll tell you why I didn’t include them: 1) Bucky O’Hare slipped under my radar. I was so busy playing SFII in the arcades (and the ONLY reason why I went into one in 92) that I have never played Bucky. I’ve never even played the rom! I’d head over it but never played it. Guess I’ll try it! 2)Battletoads will always be an NES game to me. I think of the later arcade version as an afterthought. 3) Moonwalker’s absence is the same as Battletoads. I owned it on Genesis and I think I only found out it was an actual arcade game about 6 years ago. I had NEVER seen a Moonwalker cab in the wild, therefore it didn’t make this list. But I do have it on my modded cab!

I also appreciate how you pointed out how some of the original 80's Arcade games just don't work with your typical "MAME Machine" button-Joystick config. Most of my favorite games I'd like to build require special joysticks, Duel Joysticks, or controls that simply don't exist anywhere (yet - although they FINALLY have a Star Wars Yoke available) My favs that require special controls are - Spy Hunter,(so far impossible) Paperboy (also impossible, but I've seen one guy use the SW Yoke) , Battlezone (not on your list - shame!) Missile Command, and the real muther - Discs of Tron...sigh...Anyway - love the vid. Got yourself another subscriber. Game On my dude!

Just beat Ghosts n Goblins Resurrection on PS5 on the second difficulty setting - which was STILL hard but I was surprised it didn't send you back to the start to actually beat it. Probably the harder difficulty levels do that. Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

I'll grab as many as I can find, minus all sports titles, low quality "girl's games," super little kid's games, and known to be trash games. Then check the remainder and prune out anything I know I'd never play. Then look into the Japan exclusive titles, and see which ones both interest me and have a fan translation I can grab. Will probably take a long time to get through everything, but with more and more new titles being complete dissapointments, I finally have the chance to go through all the games I missed out on.

As a somewhat compulsive horder of video games when it comes to MAME and my arcade machine, If I didn't play as a kid, like ever, it's not in my collection period. I've got way better things to spend time on, something like 600 modern games and growing I'll never get to before the end of my life, don't need 10k arcade and console roms I've never heard of, ie 50 comes of space invaders, 50 clones of street fighter etc. Current arcade list is approx 120 games. As I see some videos like this I'll recall a forgot one from time to time. I don't do emulation for consoles as I have actual consoles of the ones I care about, and having them in the arcade is pointless because the better version of the same game is always the mame version of going to play on arcade controls

100% agreed. So many mods, hacks, & mahjong titles to sift through. Even if I find a great rare 80s gem that I had never played or heard of, I don’t have the attachment to it and I never play it again. I’m just skipping over it to get to Q*Bert. Thanks for commenting and weighing in on the endless debate!

Great list. I've been trying to get a good working arcade version of Joust. Every ROM I get stops at a 'passed system check' type dialog and is un-playable. I think it wants a button pressed that I don't have mapped on my controller. I've also been trying to find the 3 player version of Rampage but all the MAME ROMs seem to be a Nintendo or SEGA version. Thanks for reminding me about Rolling Thunder... I NEED that. :)

Like a few others, I think this is a great list, though I did get the full romset and used LaunchBox to eliminate a whole whack that I didn't want. Most of these will make my curated list but I know there will be a few not on the list that, for "old time's sake", will also be included, because as most of us do, I have a few that were my favourites in high school (Tiger Heli and Darwin 4084 to name 2). Now I just have 2,800 ROMs to go through....*sigh*. That should whittle down to around 200.
