well.... february this year: Ryzen Threadripper 3990X comes out with 64 cores and 128 processes .... the 32 cores one is available since november

looks like single-core performance is hitting quite a plateau

64 Cores??? That's ridiculous!

For me, the accurate emulation of Model 3 games (specifically Scud Race, Daytona 2, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade and Sega Rally 2) represented the last of the great arcade games from my youth that I wished I could play at home, but didn't think it would ever happen (or games that I owned on a home system that just were nowhere near as good as their arcade counterpart). Now though, between Supermodel, MAME, Model 2 Emulator and Vivanonno pretty much every game I ever wanted to own when I was kid is available in, more-or-less, arcade perfect form, which is pretty unbelievable when you think about it really (Seriously, my mind was blown only a few years ago by being able to play the original arcade versions of things like Golden Axe 2, R-Type, Raiden, Aliens Vs Predator and Outrunners, then even more so when I was able to emulate the proper arcade versions of Daytona USA, Sega Rally, Indy 500 et al - so you can imagine how gob smacked I was the first time I played Scud Race and Daytona 2 at home at 60 fps with sound and working FFB enabled steering...). Even newer arcade games that I really wanted, like Outrun 2 and Afterburner Climax, have surfaced through very nice home conversions.

So this got me thinking awhile back as to what's left out there in the arcade that I'd still like to see converted? And in all honesty, I can only think of two games and they're both fairly recent recent ones: Chase HQ 2 (the new 2007 version) and H2Overdrive. (in fact the software that runs the Taito Type x2 board that Chase HQ 2 runs on is just PC based hardware, I believe it's a core 2 duo system, and a few arcade games that use that hardware, inc Super Streetfighter 4, have leaked onto the Internet and are fully playable on PC, so presumably if Taito wanted to port it to home systems it'd be pretty simple.

Anyway, I'm getting off the point a bit there, what I was wondering is what arcade games are still out there that have yet to make it to a home system that you would like to see either get converted or emulated?

What's left that, for you, still remains as an unconverted piece of arcade gold?
