Other games (Non-emulated)

[NemX2]

Looking to add some fun non-emulated games to my cabinet. Currently I have a few PC games that work well with joystick and/or trackball.

Tiger woods 2007 and 2005

Luxor 2

Rayman Raving Rabbids.

What titles do others recommend that work well in a cabinet?

GridWars2 looks cool:

PC Version. Only available from Japan though. But I guess, so is the PS2 version? VERY nice shooter with massive sound FX and awesome music that'll make any subwoofer sweat. http://raiden.mossjp.co.jp/raiden3.html

By all means get GridWars 2. I managed to dig around for a while and find it for linux, windows, and OSX. I use the Windows version on my arcade machine. It's quite a lot of fun--something everyone should have on their cab. Thanks for pointing me to Super Mario Wars. Looks like a blast. I can't wait to try it out this evening. I'd also like to know where I can get Raiden III if anyone wants to PM me I looked in my usual places and couldn't find it.

By all means get GridWars 2.

No, I just downloaded it, and was "wowing" at how good it was. =)

Emph, thanks for the heads up on Raiden 3, it's a very impressive top notch shooter!

I tried Gridwars2 out on my MCE machine. Doesn't work right. When it's in full screen mode, the screen flickers like the vertical hold is off. I can only "briefly" run it in Windowed mode. Once it starts to do heavy renderings though, it locks up the machine. I'd love to play this on my gaming machine, but alas, I'm stuck playing it on my main computer. I played the SuperMario War on my main computer as well, haven't tried it on the MCE one yet. Oh, and FYI, I'm running Vista, so that might be why Gridwars won't work properly.

Hi Han. Long shot, but have you set the window x,y and playfield x,y in the config to the desktop resolution you are using on your gaming machine ?

iano.

[Will]

yeah normally GridWars is set to scroll meaning the playing field is larger than the screen resolution. Could be a problem. Could also be buggy vista graphics drivers. I've played it on a lot of different platforms and never had a problem. I also got to play it on a 30 inch Dell flat panel with dual 7800gtx's running on a quad opteron sun system. SUWEET.

Grid assault is a better geometry clone and somewhat prettier game (i think).

just google for it

[slipstream19]

otherwize i recocmend old classics like "sega rally" and some other games from that era.

and newer games like those existing on xbox live (ffrenzy)(zuma)(Luxor)

or why not download and set up "flow" .. the top selling ps3 arcade game. its free nice looking flashgame.

[eproxy]

Have any of these titles been ported to PC? (ffrenzy)(zuma)(Luxor)

Flow on the other hand is a complete waste of time.

just my opinion tho

The version I saw listed here: http://members.home.nl/wdw/grid.html

says it's time locked after 6 minutes...so......I get to play for 6 minutes?

[slipstream19]

i ment feeding frenz not fusion frenz sorry.

flow is a soft game i think.

grid assault shouldnt be locked after 6 min what i know of. do another google search for it. by the way. how did you think grid assault was compared to grid wars 2?

[Will]

The only place I saw GridAssault said it timed out after 6 minutes. As if it is some sort of demo. Maybe MS scared them into turning it into a Geometry Wars demo.

yeah thats true didnt quite think of that. never made it past 4 minutes anyway lol . ok

but eaven tho its a bit shorter i percived it to be a little bit more beautiful than grid wars. but then i just played gridwars for like 1 minute so i could be wrong.

grid assault is very easy on the graphics card thoug (grid assault) mine graphics card have a faulty cooler system so i can only play games that are very easy on the graphics card.,

Hi,

Strongly recommend Star Wars Lego. You'll need 6 buttons for it (it's what I use on my X Arcade), but the kiddies love it, and the bigger kiddies will love it too!

sorry but i just have to tell you guys about

worms3d . that goes maby without saying, functions well with a gamepad also

and M.U.G.E.N. . well. god bless mugen i say

[headkaze]

Yes I have to second Virtua Tennis and Star Wars Lego I & II. Star Wars Lego does need a decent video card though.

Also try Snoopy Vs Red Baron and The Hulk.

[NemX2]

Wow. Raiden III is really fun. Graphics are over the top and sound is great too!

[hansolo77]

Stepmania is really cool if you like DDR games.
