All Killer, No Filler Arcade Games

First off let me state that this is not my list / lists at all. I am merely posting this to direct people to some very good and time consuming work done by someone else. I have been following this series of posts over on the arcadecontrols.com forums for a while and it's now to a point that it's near completion enough to point some people new to Mame and all the great arcade games. Basically a guy over there has been polling and compiling a list of each type of game into the best games that are actually worth playing without all the chaff that really isn't that good. So if you are looking at putting together a streamlined playlist of games without going through each and every game yourself to see what you like and don't like head on over to the thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,149708.msg1563036.html#msg1563036. He has included batch files to copy out the necessary roms from your collection but they may or may not work with your exact sets so be careful and read his info over there. It's at least a good starting point for people who are maybe new to the arcade classics and want a good guide on what to check out.

Yeah it's not quite done yet but it is close enough for now at least. Then again I don't think anything involving emulation is truly ever done, lol. On a side note for anyone interested there is a great sub forum over there for GrooveyMame which I highly recommend as the Mame build of choice. It's mainly designed for people running proper CRT displays but there are also enhancements in it that even modern non CRT display users can take advantage. It's the Mame I use in my Launchbox setup and I love it. If you are using a dedicated setup for your Mame you cannot go wrong with GroovyMame + Asio4all sound drivers. 0.1 millisecond audio latency is just plain awesome.
