That would be a lot of fun! I used to work near a retro arcade years ago. I would stop in there fairly frequently when I had the chance. I played a lot of pinball, the Skylab machine was my favorite. I also got a lot of use out of the Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man machines as well. I remember having all of the highscores on Ms Pac-Man, but I couldn't do the same on the original! It was lots of fun, I should try finding a place like that again.
There are lots of pinball machines, fighting games and beat'm up games. I wish I had your Ms Pac-Man skills to play Metal Slug I and Cadillac and Dinosaurs
I hope you find a place to remember these games at the arcade

It sounds like it would be really enjoyable! I have a feeling all of the really good people were just playing the original Pac-Man, their scores were always way higher than mine!
I would like to play some of them again, I've never been able to get used to the Pac-Man console ports. They always feel different than the machines. I did think of trying to buy a Skylab machine, but lack of space and money is a problem!

In the past, people were forced to be great at games because the chip system and difficulty level were much higher than today. I remember when I finished Ninja Gaiden, I promised never to play again because of the extreme difficulty 😂

I definitely know that feeling! I've been very frustrated at games a few times! 😂
