I don't have a lot of experience with these games. Never did get round to trying Shadow Dancer and I'm just starting to give Splatterhouse a shot with the PC-Engine version. I can only pick two from this list.
Aliens is my fave by a long way, not really a fan of any of the others. I was really into the film at the time the game landed and playing it in the arcade was a dream come true. Always longed for a home release but when that didn't happen I picked up the arcade board for the supergun. Now I've got it on the Retro Pi and it's always great to go back to.

I remember first seeing it in a Brighton arcade and thinking "Wow... an Aliens arcade game." And once I played it, I realised it's really well made. I like how the developer decided to create all sorts of xenomorphs, even if the bright colours might annoy some people. You even get zombies.
I was always close to buying a Supergun in the '90s but never got one. I just didn't feel like paying £100+ for arcade boards. It's always been one of my go-to MAME games.
Golden Axe: I'm still a big fan of the whole design -- from the beautiful graphics to the rousing music. Stands the test of time really well. Aliens: It may take liberties with the license, but I love the whole design. It's such a great action fest with really nice graphics. Splatterhouse: Such a disgusting game that's always a whole lot of fun to play through.
