Favorite External Games?

[The G-Man]

I was looking to increase the number of PC games that I access through Game Ex. I then realized that I couldn't hardly think of any games that could really be played with arcade controls and a trackball. Right now, I'm sporting Tiger Woods PGA and Golden Tee Golf.

Does anybody have any recommendations on good PC games to play on an Arcade Cabinet?

Well, the program called PPJoyKey can be used to convert your CP button presses to joystick buttons and movements, so there are more arcade friendly games out there than you think with the use of this program.

Two which spring to mind, and are favourites on my cabinet are Virtua Tennis (which can have 4 players using a 2 player CP + 2 wireless joypadx + PPJoyKey program). The second PC game I really like is Lego StarWars - excellent for 2 player CP gaming but it needs a fairly decent machine to run.

For more ideas visit the Game Review Forum over at BYOAC.

Duke Nukeem Manhattan Project is kinda platform/arcade friendly, but you need to use AutoHotKey to remap the arrow keys to your controls so you can move to the menues to start and set it up.

Hi,

Agree totally with Headkaze, Lego Star Wars is a briliant game 2 player. I'm just trying to set it up to run through GameEx now, but I've already mapped the buttons to my X-Arcade 2 player stick and it plays like a champ, so I think I've done the hard bit (?).

Got it for only a tenner last week as well! Bargain!
