Metalzoic Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 So what games in this sale are great to play on a dedicated arcade cabinet? Lets build a list so we can take advantage of it!
gigapig Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Cheers Metalzoic. Although not necessarily cab friendly the Metro Redux bundle looks like a great deal. In fact I just bought it.
Metalzoic Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 Looking through it now and here's some I've seen that I know work good: Binding of Isaac - should be good if your setup allows you to play with twin-sticks. I haven't played in on PC just Vita. Kung Fu Strike - Great brawler if you have a 6 button setup. One Finger Death Punch - AWESOME GAME! only needs 2 buttons, but it does require mouse input so if you don't have a trackball on your cab you'll be pissed you need to use a mouse. Some on sale I'm curious about. Are the controls mappable? Can you play them with keyboard only (no mouse or controller required), ho many buttons needed etc. Jamestown Gattling Gears Invisible Inc The Fall (looks like needs mouse?) Oni and the blind forest (looks like it needs a controller?) Burnout Paradise Project Cars Dungeon of the Endless Stick of Truth I'll find more...
Roadrunner Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 thanks for the head's up. Just picked up all the remaining tables of Pinball FX2 that I was missing. I now have the full set - except for the soccer tables. I passed on those... Atari 2600 Theme Pack - Now Uploaded! Marvel Exit Screens Jukebox Rock Star Album Themes MAME Widescreen Bezels Pinball FX2 Widescreen Theme Pack Pinball FX2 4x3 Theme Pack Pinball FX3 Themes
Metalzoic Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 The new Strider is on there and it is an unbelievably good game and can be set up to work on a 6 button cab (THE SETUP IS BIZARRE THOUGH) What about: Castle Crashers? I've read it has control issues on a cab Hammer watch Risk of Rain Titan Souls Grid 2 Psychonaughts Strike Suit Infinity Hero Siege Half Minute Hero 2 Trackmania Geometry Wars 3 Towerfall Ascension castlevania Mirror of Fate

HazzardActual Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 dude, get risk of rain, theres a few hyperspinners that play multiplayer occasionally. its great fun. Gigs, Im jelly of that purchase, I want those DLC missions
Metalzoic Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 No one else can chime in on any of those games? So far I've picked up: Risk of Rain Castlevania Mirror of Fate Cave Story + Sonic Racing transformed Jamestown King of Fighters XIII Oh and Homeworld remastered which I know isn't cab friendly, but hopefully it (and many other games) will be playable once I have the trackball and spinners installed.

Metalzoic Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 dude, get risk of rain, theres a few hyperspinners that play multiplayer occasionally. its great fun. Gigs, Im jelly of that purchase, I want those DLC missions I grabbed Risk of Rain, but it requires a mouse to navigate the menus for some reason. It also restricts which buttons you can use to re-bind. What is up with idiot devs forcing mouse controls for no reason and limiting control setup? Anyway, you probably shouldn't recommend it as cabinet/hyperspin friendly without mentioning that. I wouldn't have bought it then as it's unplayable on mine without getting out a keyboard. KOF XIII looks like it may have keyboard rebinding issues as well (morons!), but I'll play with it some more. The others all seem good to go on a cab and I've already built themes for the ones that didn't have any and got everything added to my PC wheel. Good times!

Good times! sorry dude, its still one of the most addicting games on my list, I play it at least 3 times a week, usually a few hours at a time.
Metalzoic Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 sorry dude, its still one of the most addicting games on my list, I play it at least 3 times a week, usually a few hours at a time. No problem. Once I get my new CP built with the trackball it will be just fine.

What is up with idiot devs forcing mouse controls for no reason and limiting control setup? Mine works with the xbox360 controller in navigation and gameplay. If that's something you can deal with then still way worth it.
Metalzoic Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Mine works with the xbox360 controller in navigation and gameplay. If that's something you can deal with then still way worth it. Might be time for me to learn how to set up that 360 pad emulator then.
HazzardActual Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Hell yeah, me and Damageinc86 were playing last night, having a good run until my server crashed and we lost the game... I think that last level we had about 5 bosses on screen at once.
