Everyone has their top 5 list but how about games that may be beyond top 10-20 games that you would like to buy if you came across a good deal. I would love to have the following.

1. another TRON - not a super fan of the game, never saw the movie but love the cabinet and although I owned one before, i flipped it because the work to restore was just too much for me at the time.

2. Omega Race - saw this at a Gregafree's house a few weeks ago and it brought back instant memories of when i was a kid. Didnt play it but plan on playing it next time im there. Understand it's a hard game to get.

3. Scramble - Again another game i haven't played for a LONG time but wouldn't pass up the opportunity to buy one.

4. Jungle King - owned one before but had horrible swelling all over. Some of the best Taito artwork around.

5. Mappy - love the cabinet, artwork. Never really played the game long enough to enjoy it.


What are your long list games and why?
 
Since I have most of what I want, this would be more like 5 more games I might purchase-

Tron
Pac-Man
Satan's Hollow
Playchoice games
Vs. games

Burgertime has a very cool cabinet. I never played the game so I'd be interested in one if it ever came along at a great price but not something I'm actively looking for.

Space Invaders Deluxe tabletop is moving up my list. My wife wants new tables down in the gameroom/theater and it might be a great way to sneak in another game in otherwise unusable space!!

Oh, and Computer Space and Pong would be on my nice-to-have-but-no-big-deal-if-not list.
 
Since I just got my Wacko, I can mark that off the list.
My list is getting narrower as I am starting to get to that magic 41 game cap, but the 2 that are on the top of the list is: Star wars, and Edot. From there it goes down to a few others (missile command, elevator action, timber, etc.), including trying to find horizontal cab (classic style) to put my Mr do's wild ride in!
 
That's great. Long list are games that your not definately on the hunt for and aren't your favorites but you would pick up if the price is right and you have the room. Long list games are also the ones that if your cramped for space you would most likely move to make way for a highly want or grail game.
 
Circus Charlie.. then after that probably Pac-Man. I need another game bad!! It's been 5 plus yrs since I got my last game!! :(
