Part 8 of April's ALTERNATIVES to.. All Killer, No Filler 'Top MAME Games List' (25 Apr 2021)
8th in the series of streams where I look at games not found on the "All Killer, No Filler" Top MAME Games list which become a popular resource in recent years.
The original list isn't without holes in its coverage, be it because it only really includes Joystick + Buttons based games (thus excluding most driving titles, and lightgun games) or simply because some games were overlooked.
Unfortunately many people are using the list as the final say on what is worth playing in MAME, and that feels wrong to me. On these streams I look at things not found on the list, why that might be, and if maybe in reality they deserve a place, or really are just filler.
