Depends on the hardware of YOUR cabinet, but if you have light guns, Aliens  Extermination from Global VR is pretty cool and runs well.

Your list is close to what I have except I have a few computer systems. (Apple 2, C64 and Amiga) I only have games that work going straight into the games and work with cabinet controllers. No trainers, or games requiring keyboard to load or play.

Ooph missed those :D I do have Daphne and ALG (downloaded the packs from another website for $20, well worth it).  Openbor I have a few titles but could add in a few, it's not a platform right now though, I think I added them under Windows?  Maybe I should separate those out.  As for M.U.G.E.N... not sure, I love fighting games but a lot of those titles just seemed rediculous.  SM2 and SM3 I also missed, have both.  For pinball, I think pinball is probably left to a virtual pinball cab so I've skipped those for now.

I hear you on this and a virtual pin cab would be a much better experience but i have found we still go back to playing Pinball a lot on my Arcade cabinet.  If you have the flipper buttons and nudge buttons drilled into the sides of the cabinet it works pretty well. I rigged up and old car alarm shock sensor for center nudge as an input on my ipac! instead of having the tables oriented in portrait mode i have them in desktop mode with the backglass displaying on the 2nd marquee screen (static image). If i had a dedicated pincab i would for sure prefer that setup but this is a good substitute for now.
