Classic arcade games you love but never became very well-known.
Here are a few of my sleepers.

Bagman
This game looked deceptively easy, but it was a bitch.
Lots of fun dropping the bag of $ on the cops, and escaping in the mine cart.

Crazy Climber
Lots of fun getting pooped on.

Elevator Action
Not a complex game, but very addictive.
Not that unknown, but I love Rally-X (specifically New Rally-X). Fun maze game with one of the earliest examples of good, catchy music in games.

Spy Hunter
Good weapons upgrades,
sneaky hiding spot in the UPS truck.

Nice call...I forgot about that one!
That was a fun game.
Never heard of bagman. Rest are well known.
Fast Lane by konami
Pacman meets Outrun meets Gradius

Pig Out. 3 Player co-op single-screen platformer. One of the funnest multiplayer arcade experiences ever.

Counter Run from Sega is another good game like this. Of course, both are based on the much old Head-On. "Driving maze" would be the genre, I guess?

Maze Chase genre?
Anyway I didn't know that the original Head On predated Pac Man

Should've had more console ports
Assault
For that twin-stick shmuppage action.
