    Quoted from bub2010:

    MAME cabs are great. With an x arcade dual stick with trackball, a spinner and flight stick about the only games you can't do 100% are light gun games which do work good with a stick.

    That is my set up. Took an $20 (or $50 can't remember) Defender Cab that was converted to a Yie Ar Kung Fu, threw in a PC Mobo and MALA front-end. I have an X-Arcade tank stick in place of the original board, and a flight stick and a game pad in the coin door for other games. Total cost was around $200 for everything, including new 2.1 speaker set up.

    There are only a few games I can think of that I cannot play correctly: 720 & Paperboy. I have the flight stick set up to kinda play them, but it obviously sucks.

    Quoted from starbase:

    My favorite arcade game 720. Just completed mini restore. All new joystick parts and plays about as close to new as I have ever felt. This was one you can't replicate without the controller. Oh and it was lonely without Paperboy (waiting on grips).

    If I were going to ever buy two arcade games, these would be the two. Both are excellent. 720 is amazing, you can have games on it that last forever once you get good at it.
