    I know 'favorite video game' threads are a bit redundant, but I just rebuilt my small MAME library which I forgot to backup. I wanted to see if I'm forgetting any games or passed some classics up back then.

    I'm particularly asking for 90's games because those were my arcade-going days I'm not too fond of the really old games like Frogger or something like that. But if anyone has some must-have 80's games then I'm all ears. I'm also up for this decade's games, but obviously things changed and the arcade died out.

    Here's a list of games I've got so far, I'm obviously a fighting game junkie:
    Dungeons & Dragons Shadow Over Mystara
    Final Fight
    Garou
    GI Joe (seemed obscure back then, but really fun)
    Killer Instinct 1 & 2
    King of Fighters 98, 2002
    Macross
    Marvel vs Capcom and every variant involving the Marvel license
    Metal Slug series
    MJ's Moonwalker
    Mortal Kombat II
    Ms. Pac-Man
    Rastan
    Samurai Shodown series
    SF2 series
    Terminator 2
    The Simpsons
    WWE Wrestlefest (the Ultimate Warrior days)
    X-Men (side scroller)

    And BTW, I just found out Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is playable on MAME. Incredible.

    All I remember was wasting lots and lots of 25 halalas on some Tank arcade game. Good times.

    EDIT: And TMNT!

    Side-scrolling fighter junkie and no TMNT?!!!!

    Let's see,
    Stuff you didnt list...
    Early arcade games that I remember (either late 80s or early 90s):
    TMNT
    Golden Axe
    Superman
    Gauntlet
    NBA Jam
    Virtua Fighter
    TIME TRAVELER (this 3d/hologram game was the f'ing bomb!!!)
    Pit Fighter

    Late 90s:
    Early Tekken games
    Time Crisis I (could break every speed record)
    Area 51 (knew every secret)
    Virtua Cop

    Edit:
    Video of Time Traveler... given i was like 10 when I played, this was pretty sweet.

    If you like shooters, the Strikers 1945 series has some nice graphics.

    I was referring to one on one fighting games like Street Fighter 2. But good call on TMNT everyone, I knew I forgot something. Also NBA Jam.

    And I'm a bit disappointed tinman, I thought you'd mention at least one kick ass game I've been missing out on.

    D&D Shadow Over Mystara is the best Capcom side scroller IMHO, so I passed on some games people have mentioned.

    that old game where you'd basically be driving around a tiny micromachine type car with a steering wheel, doing 3 or 4 laps.. and you could use 3 nitro boosts per round unless you picked some up on the track. Oil slicks, etc.

    and then you could build up diff parts of your car w/the money you won..




    plus all the stuff others have mentioned

    tmnt
    sf2
    xmen
    golden axe
    nba jam
