As far as I can tell, nothing other than having a
couple Metal Slug games
and a King of Fighters game (as far as I know none of them are ports of the
full sized games).
I wonder what kind of processor it might use. The sound strikes me as quite
bleepy. The "joystick", OTOH, is top-notch.

In some ways it still is, a Cartridge system can still
cost you as much as
a Playstation 2! The thing to remember is some of those carts are pushing
1 Gig! With the oldest ones still being in the 50 meg range.
It's really absurd...

It looks like the 64-bit unit is arcade only, and has
only been used on
about 5 games.

As of yesterday my wife is officially addicted to that
game!
Thankfully, last week, my favourite pool hall modified its cabinet, so that it
is now a bill-op in addition to a coin-op. =)

you're into sprite-based games.
It's great as it's got gorgous 2D graphics (at
least on the newer games),
and if you're like me you don't have to worry about motion sickness while
playing any of the games (thankfully 3D fighters don't bother me). Games
like Quake make me so sick it isn't even funny!
Modern games just fail to attract me. I was raised on sprite games, then it
all died out in the course of a year. I'm sitll wondering why.
