(Games 11–20 for this era include: Q Bert, Zaxxon, Tron, Tempest, Centipede, Battlezone, Gyruss, Sinistar, Donkey Kong Jr., and Mario Bros.)* The Top 150 wouldn’t be complete without the quarter-munchers of the 90s. MAME is arguably the best way to play these because of "cheat" mode to unlock hidden characters. 21. Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting (1992) The ROM that broke the internet. MAME runs the CPS-1 board perfectly. Play as M. Bison (Vega in Japan). 22. Mortal Kombat II (1993) The blood is red. The combos are broken. The friendships are brutal. Requires the mk2.zip file. 23. The King of Fighters '98 (1998) The peak of SNK's Neo Geo. 38 characters, no "grooves," just pure 3v3 skill. 24. Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (1998) 6-button mayhem. Infinite combos. "TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE." 25. Virtua Fighter (1993) The first 3D fighter. MAME emulates the Model 1 board well now, though slower. 26. SoulCalibur (1998) Weapons, rolling stages, and jaw-dropping graphics for 1998. 27. Primal Rage (1994) Stop-motion dinosaurs fighting over a post-apocalyptic Earth. Weird, but essential. 28. Samurai Shodown II (1994) The best weapon-based fighter. One touch can kill if you miss the parry. 29. Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (1994) Monsters, cartoony art, and anime tropes. The father of Guilty Gear . 30. Tekken (1994) The arcade original. No frills, just 8-way movement and Jun Kazama.

(Games 61–80 include: Bad Dudes, Crime Fighters, Vendetta, Knights of the Round, King of Dragons, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Sunset Riders, Mystic Warriors, and Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa.) For the vertical orientation. Turn your monitor sideways for the authentic experience. 81. DoDonPachi (1997) Cave’s masterpiece. Chain combos, tiny hitboxes, and more bullets than sky. 82. Gradius III (1989) The "Option" system. Konami code works. The Moai heads will haunt your dreams. 83. R-Type (1987) The "Force" orb. Attach it to the front for a shield, or the back for a surprise attack. The Bydo Empire is terrifying. 84. 1944: The Loop Master (2000) WW2 shooters were a dime a dozen, but this one has a "squadron" super meter. 85. Progear (2001) Steampunk + Cave. Gorgeous pixel art of warplanes crying tears of blood. 86. Raiden II (1993) The Vulcan cannon vs. the plasma laser. The sound design is explosive. 87. Armed Police Batrider (1998) Weird, wonderful, and complex. Multiple ships and "medal" systems. 88. Darius Gaiden (1994) You fight fish... in space. Massive robotic anglerfish. Three screens wide (MAME can letterbox it). 89. Mars Matrix (2000) Hyper aggressive. The "reflect" shield changes the game. 90. Thunder Force AC (1990) A port of the Genesis classic, but better difficulty.

(Games 31–50 include: Fatal Fury Special, Art of Fighting, World Heroes 2, Killer Instinct, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Vampire Savior, Last Blade 2, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and Street Fighter Alpha 3.) These are the games that stole your allowance because you had to "continue" every 3 minutes. 51. The Simpsons Arcade Game (1991) Four-player Konami magic. Marge with a vacuum cleaner. Find the ROM with all 4 players enabled. 52. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (1991) "Big Apple, 3 AM." The pinnacle of side-scrolling beat ‘em ups. Splitscreen throwing foot soldiers at the screen. 53. Alien vs. Predator (1994) Capcom’s forgotten masterpiece. A 3D scrolling beat ‘em up with guns, swords, and Aliens. Rare in the wild—thrives on MAME. 54. Final Fight (1989) The template. Metro City. Guy, Cody, or Haggar. Break the barrel. Save the mayor's daughter. 55. Metal Slug 3 (2000) Hand-drawn pixel art perfection. Zombies that throw up on enemies. A flying submarine. The ultimate run ‘n gun. 56. Golden Axe (1989) Barbarians, dwarves, and amazons riding monsters. The sound of the potion bottle breaking is ASMR. 57. Captain Commando (1991) A baby in a mech suit. A mummy. A ninja. An alien. Over the top. 58. Battle Circuit (1997) The weirdest Capcom beat ‘em up. You can buy upgrades between levels. An alien thong-wearing hero. 59. The Punisher (1993) Play as Frank Castle or Nick Fury. You can grab enemies and use their own guns against them. 60. Double Dragon (1987) The elbow punch is the only move you need. The bridge fight is legendary.

The glow of a cathode-ray tube, the satisfying clunk of a micro-switched joystick, and the synthesized soundtrack of a forgotten era. For millions of us, the golden age of arcades wasn't just a pastime; it was a pilgrimage. But as arcades faded, a digital savior emerged: MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator).

Today, we are diving deep into the ultimate bucket list. Whether you are building a Raspberry Pi cabinet, setting up a Batocera hard drive, or just want to relive your youth on a laptop, this guide to the will serve as your treasure map.
