I know when we all grow up and get rich (I'm 28) all us gamers will have cherry versions of our favorite arcade games.

I know what I'll have: Adams family pinball, old school X-men 6 player arcade, House of the dead, Simpsons arcade. nothing made before 1990 or after 1998.

Street Fight II. Skipping school all the time to go down the arcade to play this when it came out.

I've always loved the Time Crisis series too. Once I completed it on one credit but this was after I also had it on the PS1 so I had a bit of home practice too. Played them all since, but the original broke new ground in arcade FPS for me.

Out Run would get my driving game section.

Pong, Pacman and Space Invaders are a given. And yeah, the four player Simpsons and X-Men games.

Never really played Pinball but I'd have one in the corner and some 2p falls. A bandit and one of those 20p horse bet machines you stills see at the seaside.

I like everything mentioned so far, never heard of the 6 player x-men, that game looks awesome. I'll take it.

A few specific items I would add include an 8 Ball Deluxe pinball machine, it marks the apex of pinball and plays just great. Also an older model 70's "Clowns Down" pinball machine.

A professional poker table mainly for Hold-Em'.

A half a dozen Skee Ball machines

A walk in cigar humidor and for the whole arcade room a top of the line ventilation system.

I used to also really get a kick out of the vintage baseball game.

I forgot to add a pool/snooker table,foosball table,air hockey table,shuffleboard...also if we're going to fantasy it up I'd also like a few vintage arcade games of chance/feats of ability games from the penny arcade era...fortune teller,love forecaster,grip meter,punching bag meter,claw machine and a late 60's wurlitzer jukebox...
