Hey everyone, I figured that while this forum is generally more for the "classics," why not start a thread asking what everyone's favorite Jamme game is?

So, that's about it. Post here with your favorite Jamma game(s)! For those of you that can't choose just one, go ahead and list your favorite JAMMA games by genre:

Fighter:
Driver:
Platformer / Side Scroller:
Shooting-Gun Game:
Horizontal Shmup:
Vertical Shmup:
Other:

(Genres courtesy of R3LL1K)


I'll start it out. My favorite would definitely be Klax. I love the unique, challenging, puzzle-like gameplay. Nice voice effects and graphics as well. I've been checking it out on MAME and hope to get a dedicated cabinet as well.

Good call on the KLAX. Fun game for sure.

When it comes to jamma, there's so many games, you almost have to break it down by genre.

Fighter: Street Fighter 2 Hyper
Platform: X-men

I'm sure there's hundred more ideas that will come in. All of them will be good.
 
Fighter: Street Fighter 2 HF
Driver: California Speed (because I have one)
Platformer / Side Scroller: Ghouls & Ghosts
Shooting-Gun Game: Point Blank 2
Horizontal Shmup: Dragon Breed
Vertical Shmup: Raiden
Trackball game: World Class Bowling

black tiger

I hate all shooters, i.e. aerofighters, etc.
well, maybe not all, but most.

I did like the 1942 series
 
Fighter: MvC2
Driver: Crazy Taxi
Platformer / Side Scroller: D&D Tower of Doom
Shooting-Gun Game: Star Trek Voyager
Horizontal Shmup:
Vertical Shmup: Super Space Fortress Macross
Other: Bloxeed
 
Here's my list:

Fighter: MK2
Driver: Badlands
Platformer / Side Scroller: Contra
Shooting-Gun Game: Lethal Enforcers
 
Not a fan of too many JAMMA games, but of the JAMMA games I like and own:

Strider
Rastan
Great Sluggers
Namco Classics 1 & 2 (is that cheating?) :>
Xevious 3D/G
 
Jamma

Fighting: Umk3
Driving: Cruisn'; I don't have the space, though. :-(
Shooting: Either Revolution X or Time Crisis

You know, I would like to try out Rastan. I see pictures of conversions everywhere... must have been a pretty popular game.


Anyone out there enjoy playing rotary joystick games? I have a Time Soldiers machine and it would definitely be on my top 10 JAMMA games.
 
Fighter: MKII / Vampire Saviour / Pit Fighter
Driver: ?
Platformer / Side Scroller: Night Slashers / Haunted Castle / Aliens Vs Predator
Shooting-Gun Game: Zombie Raid / Space Gun
Horizontal Shmup: Mars Matrix / Salamander II / Blazing Star
Vertical Shmup: Nebulasray / Raiden Fighters II
Other: ?

Thats the best I can recall at the moment. Jamma's are like candy bars, can't pick just one.
 
rastan is good, but black tiger is equally as good.
better in my opinion.
similar type of game.

oh yeah, if you count golden tee, then that would be near the top.
 
I think black tiger is better than rastan, I hate walking in games, can you run in rastan? I have it on my multi board but ehh
 
I like a lot of JAMMA games... some of my favorites are:

Speed Rumbler
Heavy Barrel
Black Tiger
Double Dragon 2: The Revenge
Dark Stalkers
US Classic Golf
Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters
Killer Instinct 2
Space Gun
Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder (Yeah, it's Sega System 32, but it's from the JAMMA era)
STUN Runner
Hard Drivin' (and the above two are also not Jamma, but from the same era)
