Oh, geez. This is going to be pretty telling on my favorite companies and games, I think. It's also going to be a fairly long list.
I would have pulled this info right out of MAME, but I've done a clean install recently, so I'm doing this entirely out of memory. The list is unsorted, but I will certify there's pretty even play across the list.
Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Alcon, Galaga, Galaga 3 1943 Kai, Afterburner 2, Centipede, Lightning Fighters, Ajax Altered Beast, Battle Garegga, Armed Police Batrider Asteroids, Berzerk, Bad Dudes, Bosconian, Dig Dug, Mr. Do Burger Time, Bubble Bobble, Gradius, Life Force, Gradius 2 Gradius 3, Salamander 2 (Okay, so I love Gradius..) Thunder Cross, Thunder Cross 2 (Okay, so I love KONAMI..) Dodonpachi, Commando, Donkey Kong, DK Junior, Darius 2, Defender, Elevator Action, Final Fight Sky Shark, Flicky, Ghosts 'n Goblins (Yes, I am quite the masochist) Gun.Smoke, Gyruss ..and pretty much the entire line of Street Fighter titles with the exception of the first one. My JAMMA cabinet is a SF2CE I won in a competition about six years ago. Something's gone bad with the high voltage and I don't have the space to actually test it, and that's why my boards are in storage and MAME's getting all the play right now.
I would add Heavy Barrel to the list, but that's been getting more play on my Wii lately with the dual analog conversion.
There's probably more, like Zaxxon, but I don't want to crash the forum database with this one post. ;P
Really, it's an even mix of stuff through the 80s and 90s, even including SF2 in there. I'd call it an odd mix, considering how people tend to polarize on the years and developers. Speaking of developers, there's a lot of Konami and Capcom, a bit of Atari, a bit of Namco, Sega, Nintendo.. I'd say all the big names are represented, along with companies like Toaplan and Cave that are somewhat more niche.
