UPDATED! I removed Heavyweight Champ since it's not playable on MiSTer.

So many classics! I'll go with two I've never played before.

- Bullet (shooting game)

- Time Scanner (pinball)

I'm not seeing Heavyweight Champ as being available on the MiSTer (or at least update_all didn't fetch it for me). Does it work for you?

My initial list in the OP was inaccurate. Jotego's wiki for this core doesn't list them specifically, just says "most" work. I went through the menu on the MiSTer and tried to make it match.

Time Scanner was going to be one of my three, so I'll second that.

I will nominate:

Alien Syndrome (sort of a run and gun alien shooter. Solid game. I had the NES version as a kid)
Riot City (A beat 'em up in the general style of the Streets of Rage series on the MD/Genesis)
Fantasy Zone (A colorful shooter)

It's a bit heartbreaking that Outrun isn't working yet. Jotego has been having trouble with it, and on his Patreon recently he said he needs to come back to it with fresh eyes. Understandable though.

I just picked according to the original list. I'll check the MiSTer to see what's actually playable :D I'll edit my original nomination post.

And I'll second Riot City. I would second Fantasy Zone because I really like it in theory. But playing that game always results in me cursing at the screen so for my kids sake - I won't ;)
