I would discuss the scenario of being stranded on an island and picking our top 5 with my older brother since choosing 3 is really hard. But if I have to pick 3, they would be games that can be mastered and have high replayability. Virtua Fighter 3, NFL Blitz, and Sega Rally. And how will there be powered electricity you ask? With coconut generators and two monkey butlers.

Something with a gun...either the latest Time Crisis or Silent Scope would do.

You guys do know that the full version of F-Zero AX is unlockable within F-Zero GX, and can be played in Dolphin, right? Get a decent FFB wheel and pedal set, and a nice monitor and boom....F-Zero AX at home

Wow, I was debating between SSF2T and TMNT, but the other 2 were on my list. I like your style.

Oh gosh.
Street Fighter II (no brainer), Guerrilla War (a nostalgic fave), and... maybe Donkey Kong?
I have to walk away from this, picking just 3 is brutal.

Completely agree with the OP on F-Zero AX.
Time Crisis 2
And finally Guitar Hero.

DDR Extreme or one of the recent ones with 'all' the songs.
Aliens vs Predator.
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike.
Though I may swap SF3 for a shooter. Time Crisis 2? I never got over how fun the kick of the arcade lightguns were.
Hahaha, almost twins!

Do those NeoGeo cabs that had like 4 games on them count? A comic store near me had one with Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters and Windjammers. The cabinet automatically cycled between the games when no quarters were in. I spent so many quarters on that thing.
Anyway I'd want that...
F-Zero AX
And
NBA Jam for sure.

Do pinball machines count, if not?
F-Zero AX, Truxton, and some random Japanese music cabinet like Project Diva.
Edit: There's a 3rd version of F-Zero's arcade machine, this one has the entire cabinet move, and not just the seat like the one most people know, so I go for this one.
Edit 2: Some more footage.

F-Zero AX' arcade machine also had the seat move whenever you steered, landed after a jump, or anything else like that, not gonna get that on Dolphin.You guys do know that the full version of F-Zero AX is unlockable within F-Zero GX, and can be played in Dolphin, right?

Took me like less than a second for the three to spring to mind after reading the thread title. I know exactly what cabs I would choose:
-Marvel vs Capcom 2
-Hydro Thunder
-Gauntlet Legends
A Metal Slug game would be fun but those three are my most favorite arcade games, so it was a quick and easy choice.

For you people who just put three things with no explanation- why? Doesn't seem like it adds to the conversation and I find it odd.
I hope other people love hearing the "why" for these kinds of things as much as I do. The idea of a home arcade has always appealed to me, I'm legit surprised more people don't do it. The stuff is relatively cheap these days (for now).

Hydro Thunder - The rumbling seat, the badass boats and tracks. The announcer. I love arcade racers, but HT is just unique, and so well done.
Popeye - One of my childhood favorites, and it's not likely we'll ever see Nintendo revisit it, or put it on the VC. Timeless.
Robotron 2084 - Another one of my all time favorites, Robotron 2084 will NEVER grow old. Love it, love it, love it!!
Honorable mentions...
Rolling Thunder - Classic side scrolling awesomeness from my youth.
Shinobi - For the first stage music alone. Love me some Shinobi!
Kung Fu Master - Childhood favorite again, I could beat the game over and over one one quarter.
Golden Axe Death Adder's Revenge - The greatest Golden Axe game ever made, and no home port.
Pac-Man - Timeless
Galaga - Timeless

Metal Slug 3: The craziest and most diverseset of levels. Aliens, Zombie breakout, mutant crabs, breeeeeeehs.
Marvel vs Capcom 2: One of the best fighters ever made. I'd settle arguments with this cabinent.
The Simpsons: One of the first cabinets i remember playing. It was pretty funny as well.
