I need a new 25" medium resolution monitor, I know that some games will sell at auction with these for cheap, so I'm wondering which games use a Med. Res monitor so I know which ones to look for?

I've heard of these, and correct me if I'm wrong:

Cruisin' USA
Gauntlet Dark Legacy

Please correct me and add any games so I can start my search :)

The KLOV database can be searched for medium res monitors:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/search.php

Next to bottom field is monitor type. It would only return 50 results, so you may need to narrow your searches down by a year range (e.g. 1986-1990) to stay under that limit.

Also, FWIW, I think Dark Legacy is a VGA game, not med res (31kHz vs. 25kHz). Those VGA monitors may handle a med res input just fine... I dunno all that much about more modern games.

GL and GDL are medium res games and you'll have to be careful with these because the original monitor was a 27" medium res.

When they failed many people replaced them with 25" medium res monitors though so you can find either size in these cabinets.

Edit: GL and GDL can also be used with standard res monitors with the appropriate switches thrown on the boards. Be sure you know what you're getting -- it'd suck to buy one and find out that you'd just bought one with a 25" standard res monitor or a 27" medium res monitor.

Yeah Blitz is a good bet, heck there is one on the local CL for 200 bucks inc cabinet and working all the way, and if there was an auction soon, blitz or VC2 is prob best bet
 
You have to be careful with Blitz games, not all will have a med res.
You can use both a std res or med res on them so make sure you're getting one with a med res in it.
 
pretty sure the cockpit version of hard drivin uses med res 25in. Don't think the upright does though. Steel talons uses 2 25in med res monitors. Big games of course. Some golden tees use 25in med res although I think the boards can output standard and med res so you have to know which monitor you're looking at.
 
Some models of Smash T.V. have 25'' monitors, But those are rare, I believe.

smash tv is standard rez. so a 25" medium would be pretty rare.

Make sure you have the proper frame for 720. its shelf mount. most medium rez will be universal mount.

best donors to pick on would be virtua fighter. Stuff like blitz and war gods could have standard rez in it.
 
I have a big game called "Gain Ground" that UNFORTUNATELY is a 25" medium resolution. It's missing the monitor pcb, and it's a wells 5515. I'm trying to find a chassis for it, but I wish I could just switch a regular resolution monitor into it.
