A friend & I are in the early process of starting up a kind of hybrid arcade/gaming lounge that would basically be a geek haven. We're planning on having arcade machines (classic & current), consoles (classic & current), PC LAN & tabletop games as well.

If it's not too much trouble... if you were in my shoes, what would you include? What types of arcade games & console games would be must haves? What kind of events would be fun? We're both big gamers and have our own ideas but we're trying to make sure our idea of a nerd heaven lines up with others' ideas as well.

If all goes well we hope to get it open early next year!
 
you should defiantely include game cahirs with a timer on them and a couple of sit down racer games and then you should put the game screens on large flat screens or a projector
 
Honestly, I'd set up my arcade with a neighborhood pizza parlor vibe for a nice nostalgic effect. Have a good selection of machines you like(I'll recommend some but we all have different tastes), and I'd have an air hockey or pool table with a nice beer lamp hanging over it. I'd also install a nice bar with a few good beers on tap.

From there, the rest of the setup should pretty much be tailored to the tastes of you and your friends.

My Arcade essentials:
Street Fighter II
Frogger
Galaga, PacMan, Pole Position, etc
After Burner( my favorite arcade game ever)
