Groucho Glasses Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've been gathering a list of the best PC games that would play well on an arcade cabinet. Luckily, with the indie scene currently focusing so heavily on 8 and 16 bit graphics, several of these are quick-play, 2D, one or two button controlled games--great for an arcade cabinet! I'm looking for games that will easily work with a standard 2-player cab (1 Joystick and 6 Buttons per player). Keep in mind, the fewer needed controls, the better.-Able to control with 1 joystick (the 2p joystick is available for twin stick shooters)-Minimal button requirements (ideally the standard 3 button shoot, jump, special attack style of controls)-No online requirements-No keyboard requirements (Able to be entirely controlled via the control panel)-2 Player is a bonus-Doesn't require a demanding computer (Most of us use a 2nd or older system to power our cabinets, unless you have quite the powerful setup in your cabinet!) ---All recommended PC games run on an Indel HD 3000/4000 integrated GPU. I am able to play these on my laptop (i5 2nd Generation).Here is the list we have gathered so far. I need your help to find more! (Bold font games come highly recommended. They are well done and "arcade-type" in nature.)Recommended PC GamesA-Men, The Abobo's Big Adventure Abyss Odyssey Alien Breed (Amiga version from GoG) Alien Breed-Tower Assault (Amiga version from GoG)Another World (Classic Remake) Aqua Milk KittyAngry Video Game Nerd AdventuresAwesomenauts Bastion BatMan (Classic Remake)Binding of Isaac, TheBionic Commando - RearmedBIT.TRIP RUNNER BIT.TRIP RUNNER 2 BloodRayne Betrayal BraidBroforceCastle CrashersCastelvania II - Simon's Quest Revamped (Classic Remake-ish) Chiken InvadersChoplifter HD (Classic Remake)Contra Revolution (Classic Remake) CrawlDefenstarDonkey-Me (Classic Remake)Double Dragon NeonDucktales (Classic Remake)Dungeons and Dragons HD Chronicles of MystaraDust: An Elysian TailDusty's RevengeElement4lEther VaporFezFist PuncherFix It Felix Jr.Flashback HD (Classic Remake)Geometry Wars - Retro EvolvedGiana Sisters - Twisted Dreams Gigantic ArmyHotline Miami (Twinstick)IkarugaInescapableJamestownLa-MulanaLife Goes OnLimbo Luftrausers Maldita CastillaMark of the NinjaMercenary KingsMetal Slug PC CollectionMetroid Confrontation (Classic Remake-ish)Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion (Classic Remake) NidhoggPAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+ --Must HavePeggle Deluxe (Tricky to configure to joystick, but worth it.

It's in my ftp folder but you're not a gold or platinum member, so you won't have access. You could search for the leaked Disney version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahoobrian Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 You guys are killing me. So many games, so little time, So little HD space. Thanks for the suggestions all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njgsx96 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 You guys are killing me. So many games, so little time, So little HD space. Thanks for the suggestions all! I upgraded my HDD once already to accommodate the PC Games (and got rid of the PS1 and PS2 games as well!). I would love to upgrade it again so I can add back the other emulation but the PC Games I play often so it is a good trade off for me until I get the cash to upgrade the HDD.

gigapig Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 what emulator is everyone using for this ? Emulator? No emulator required to emulate a PC, if I understand correctly. Use the PCLauncher module and best best to download, yes Steam, Humble Bundle, GOG.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup4you2 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You can add Trace Vector and Chicken Invaders 4 to this list. http://steamcommunity.com/app/297410 http://steamcommunity.com/app/301300 And here's to hoping the Gauntlet remake will run great in the cab.
