That's indeed Mad Max
Your turn :)

Oh wow, I hadn't expected to get it right!

Ok, next one:

Flashback?

Yup, your turn!

here it is

Well, I wanted to give other people time as I went previously, but as it's been a couple days, the answer is Radix: Beyond the Void.

maybe it was too hard? but anyways, you're right

OK, next one!

I know what game it is, but I want to give others the opportunity to play

R-Type 4 or Pulsing something Star

Pulsar maybe?

Veery close. You may want to google it to get the real name.

I'm afraid that with my next game, I might come up with some obscure Interactive Fiction text game from time immemorial (sic!) and be misinterpreted.

If no one shows up within a couple of days, I'll certainly *guess*, but it's unlikely that anyone will appreciate it.

Next screenshot, though honestly the title hints already posted through Cadaver747's help should be more than enough.

This game is hard as fuck! I'm playing on "Easy" and using unlimited credits (this being an arcade title and all) but every death sends you back to checkpoint, and I'm stuck at the final checkpoint on the second stage (out of 8!). Only managed to make to the boss of the stage once, keep dying between the checkpoint and the boss on all other attempts.

Oh come on, dare yourself. Take the "T" ;-)

Methinks it's time.
