This Game Room thing has got me thinking. If you really could build your own arcade, what games would you put in it? And I mean real arcade games, not an Intellivision hooked up to a screen in an arcade cabinet. 
 
Also, what you call your arcade?
 
Welcome to Sky Games (in honor of my local arcade which is no more):
Ms. Pac-Man
Killer Instinct
X-Men vs. Street Fighter
X-Men
The Simpsons
NBA Jam
Dragon's Lair
Time Traveler
Point Blank
Lethal Enforcers 
Star Wars pinball
Terminator 2 pinball
 
Anyone else?

Every fighting CPS2, CPS3 and NeoGeo game for a start. Oh and all the Naomi games apart from Dead or Alive 2 which belongs in a dumpster. Also Splatterhouse
 
Good thread, I think I'll come back to it when I have more ideas.

I would have a Neo Geo for every Metal Slug game. And one for every KoF game too, why not. 
  
Also a ton of classic midway games, and old school Bally pinball machines.  
 
I'd have SF4 machines, and MvC2 machines, and... a pachinko machine just cuz. 
 
Also both strider games... just a bunch of CPS2 stuff. 
 
And don't get me started on how much awesome my life would contain if I owned the full cockpit F-Zero AX machine.

I just want to add a World Heroes machine to my arcade. 
 
I spent 2 family vacations going to a ski resort in Vermont and that was the only game they had. I played the SHIT out of that thing.
 
Also, Pit Fighter. I mean, how could I forget it!?
