Great Arcade Games?

So recently I have gotten MAME and been going through all the games and what not, and man, some games I've forgotten over the years were really awesome. Note, this is not a request for any roms or any illegal things like that, it's simply a discussion on what are peoples favorite games.

Dungeons and Dragons - Tower of Doom + Shadows over Mystaria: Wonderful beat 'em ups. I wish Capcom would make another game like it. 4 player simultaneous side scroller shits all over those Baldur's Gate console games and clones.

Super Gem Fighter: Wow, I had completely forgotten about this. It's a fun game. Nothing too deep, but it's cute and easy to play.

Super Puzzle Fighter: ROCK!

Sengoku - Fun ninja games.

Of course, no brainers like SFA, SSF2:T, MvC, MSHvSF, G:MotW, etc don't need mentions.

Anybody else have any reccomendations for games to play?

And what's generally the best KoF? 2000? 1999?
 
I was made an instant fan of Crazy Taxi the moment I first played the game. Nice, arcadey goodness.

I loved Sonic the Fighters too. Can't remember too much about it.
