Arcade games were usually more fun than home systems in the days of Master Systems and Nintendo's. With  better graphics, better sounds and more players at just 10p a go! Well worth it.
I use MAME for arcade ROMs. Some games are quite slow on my 400MHz PC though. But all games now run perfectly on my new Athlon 900. Yeah.

Game Screenshot Description
Double Dragon dd.gif (16597 bytes) Wow, realistic beating people up who stole you girlfriend game. And with a friend too! I must have spent loads of money on this one.
Pitfighter pitfighter.gif (61315 bytes) Another beat em up, but this one had digitised people. Choose from three sad blokes in tracksuit bottoms and fight in warehouses etc against other weirdo's. If you try to chicken out the crowd hit you and throw you back in, Great fun. Two player too!
Smash TV smashTv.gif (25325 bytes) I think the arcade version of this was probably the best out of the lot. It had two joysticks each and that made it the easiest to control. After this the SNES version had the next best controls and was the nearest conversion to the arcade
Vendetta vendet.jpg (4755 bytes) 4 player beat em up. Well that says it all really, four characters loads of items to collect and smash into peoples heads. Fantastic. 
Golden Axe goldaxe.gif (21739 bytes) Medieval beat em up. A barbarian, a lady barbarian and erm a dwarf. Swords, axes, monsters etc and cool magic.
Wonder Boy WonderBoy.gif (11243 bytes) Great platform game where you have to rescue your girlfriend. Search through forest and ice caverns, use axes and skateboards to get through.
Narc narc.gif (6467 bytes) Damn those evil drug pushers. Play your part in the fight against dirty drug peddlers. Blow scumbags away with your gun, run them over in your sports car or blow them up with missiles. Quite bizarre end of game boss though, anti-drug game with a big monster head as an end of game boss. Are you sure you handed all the evidence in guys?
Final Fight ffight.jpg (32652 bytes) Beat em up severely in this button bashing frenzy. Three characters to choose from, tons of bad guys to beat. Bonus rounds like smash up a bad guys car in thirty seconds.
CrimeFighters crimfght.png (16313 bytes) Prelude to Vendetta. Up to four players can take to the streets and beat the crap out of everyone, including each other. Gets kind of stupid at the end of the game when all of the bosses (which are really hard anyway) attack you at the same time. Seemed like a shameless attempt at getting as much money out of people as it could.
Shinobi shinobi.gif (12230 bytes) Memorable music which they kept when it was converted to the consoles. Prelude to Shadow Dancer. Shuriken throwing guy rescues kids tied up in little bundles. 
TMNT tmnt0000.png (13140 bytes) Cheesy fighting game based on the characters from the cartoon, along with a limp story line and limited control over the moves. Spiced up by the four player mode and being 14 at the time.
Outrun outrun.png (5505 bytes) Great racing game in which you drive a nice red open top, and your girlfriend rides alongside to tell you off when you crash.

If you already know about emulation and Roms, you'll know about copyrights and the rules you have to abide by, and these are....

I cannot be held responsible for any consequences which may arise from the use of these ROMs.
