Me and some friends are making plans for a mame cabinet this summer (funded all by me, but it stays at my house ) and we're trying to think of good arcade games. heres our current list:
Donkey kong 1-3
super mario
pac-man
qix
The simpsons
TMNT games
Mortal kombat 1-4
street fighter 2&3
marvel vs. capcom 1&2
NARC
tetris
tower of druaga
batman
Well, ignoring the fact that you probably won't be getting ANY of these games legally, here are my personal fave. arcade picks:
Last Blade series
XMEN (the 4 player variant)
Assault (Cool tank game)
Neo Turf Masters (The voice-overs are sublime "ON THE GWEEN!")
P.O.W.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
and if you like Metal Slug, you need to try In the Hunt, it was made by the same team as Metal Slug before they came off of Irem.
Of course you absolutely must at least try Metal Slug if you have not yet seen it. Believe the hype, the first Metal Slug is so good it's actually worth buying the real arcade cartridge.
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!
X-men Vs. Street Fighter
X-men: Children of the Atom
Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter
Marvel Super Heroes
1942
1943
Double Dragon
Final Fight
R-Type
Frogger

I hear this a lot from people, but I've been mixing vertical and horizontal games for a while, I'm just fine with it. A big part of it is the size screen I'm using, but it's also personal preference. One of the joys of MAME is that you don't even have to make a final decision on this until after you've built the cabinet. Stick a bunch of games on there and if one doesn't play right or doesn't look good to you, just pull it off.
Super Mario is a nes game.
Mario Bros is an arcade game, a horizontal one at that.
Super Mario Bros. is/was available as an arcade game as a playchoice 10 game.

I know about the VS games, but I'm just saying that "Super Mario Bros" by itself is technically a different game.
The VS system was actually NES hardware, but each game had it's own PPU palette, so it is hard to get the games running on a regular NES. It is possible, however.
