The Best and Most Interesting of Arcade PCs
Back in 2004 Taito Type X, an arcade board being basically a PC from that era (it had Intel Celeron, ATI Radeon and even Windows XP!) got released into arcades. It wasn't obviously the first time when PC was in some way made into arcade board, but it was the first big one to do it. After that, Sega Lindbergh got released next year, being on Linux. Ever since those, arcades were filled with more and more arcade PCs until inevitably all of the new arcade games were on these.
This list is to show games from these that are good or interesting enough to try them. They need to be at least somewhat different from console versions, so no Street Fighter 4 as an example (rhythm games get a pass for both the unusual control schemes and much bigger amount of songs comparing to console ports). Also one game per series for bigger variety (for this list I'm including the first entry that came out on those PCs).
Of course, if I missed something, let me know!
Not on IGDB:
- Aka to Blue: Type R

- Dodonpachi Saidaioujou EXA LABEL
- GuitarFreaks V4
- Half-Life Survivor
- Harley-Davidson: King of the Road
- Mobile Suit Gundam: Spirits of Zeon
- Taiko no Tatsujin: Nijiiro Ver.
