Building the perfect arcade machine

[almostnot]

Hi all,

Am in the process of designing a paradise like den to escape into. A modern gentleman's retreat if you will. I am looking at getting some huge bean bags, setting up a big plasma/lcd telly with a couple of consoles with neat shelving units for DVDs and comics.

And then it hit me. I'm a grown up now. I have money. I can live the dream.

I will build an arcade machine, oh yes, I will build an arcade machine...

Now, the question remains, which game?

I'm casting my mind back over the greatest arcade games I have ever played but cannot put my finger on one which might keep me entertained for a long time.

Suggestions please escapists!

Go insanely classic. Pacman. Or missile command... either's fine.

Why not just build a MAME arcade? i was gonna do one myself, but dont have the space.
I looked into it, and not accounting for the actual computer that would run it (as i have lots of old machines knocking around the house that would suffice) it would cost between £150 and £200 for a 2 player machine.

Gauntlet. Nuff said.
