when I was younger my grandpa garage had space invaders, wwf wrestlefest, baby pac man,pac man, a zombie swivel shooter called ZOMBIERAID, a high fantasy picnic machine air hockey and a pool table it was amazing also the NJ arcade 8 on the break had a 3rd strike cab but strong button but it was a quarter so meh
so my arcade would probably be that adding a a skullgirls and an outrun cab
 
My dream is to play Split/Second on an arcade booth with a chair that moves depending of your moves and shakes during explosions.
That would be the best videogame experience EVER.

Otherwise, with existing or soon to be existing arcade booth, I want to play Virtual On OT against skilled players and Skullgirls.
 
I think an arcade needs both vidya and pinball machines. My tastes mainly lean towards shmups and fightan, but I'd be okay with other games too. I'd probably shove as many games as possible into my dream arcade. Maybe with a MAME cab or three.

Shame there aren't any actual good arcades around here. The only non-Chuck E. Cheese's arcade I know of that's not at least an hour away by car deals almost exclusively in pinball machines. At least the Tilt Studio in Indy's not much farther than an hour away and I could have a chance of going to Galloping Ghost by car as part of a vacation or something.

My arcade dreams died a while ago. I used to find a decent arcade on the beach/boardwalk while on vacation, but almost all of them have adapted to just cranes or casino style.

The only respectable one I found in the past year was Disneyquest in Orlando, where you pay for an all day pass and everything is free-to-play. Lots of racing and shooting games, but only a handful of fighters. I must of played Street Fighter II Turbo for almost 2 hours.
