I actually only remember the lower quality console versions of most of those games. My earliest memories of the Arcade start in the late eighties. But, my favorites come from the early nineties with Capcom and Neo-Geo classics. I remember putting a lot of quarters into Final Fight, Street Fighter II,  Mortal Kombat II, TMNT and maybe a few into World Heroes. Requiring coins for you cabinet might bring back a lot of good and bad memories for some!
 
Is the emulation software called Hyperspin? I haven’t played with emulation software in a long time. I’m guessing various versions of MAME are still being developed.

Yes, I am using Hyperspin! It's one of many front-end programs for emulators like MAME and Snes9x. Personally, it's my favorite because of its very attractive and arcade-feel interface.

I must admit, although being one of the only people alive through that era, I never went to an arcade even once as a kid, and if I had quarters to spend, it was going tio be to buy more disks, a new memory card and so-on, lol... not to be wasted on an arcade machine!

But occasionally I was there with some of my friends, and honestly, I can't think of a single game that you didn't already list off.

Kind of a cool idea! I hope that you'll share a picture of it with us, when it's all done, and good luck to ya??

This is exactly the fun type of project that I think everyone should be trying...! (Everyone would have their own idea of what would be fun. If everyone did it, we could make a thread and share them! Or hey, use this one, maybe!)

Thanks squirrel! I've been planning this project for months and I just started to jump on it! I'm going to try to stick to the old classic arcade look instead of making it look really modern and extreme. I'll definitely share some pictures when I receive all the parts! I might even make a cool projects tread
