Over the last few years the independent games scene has grown considerably. Among the hundreds of games out there produced by small-time and aspiring games companies are several that are well suited to play on a home arcade cabinet. Here is a list of just some of the low-budget games out there that fit the bill, several of which have free demo versions available.
Note to editors: Please only include games that are known to play well using standard arcade or trackball controls.
