This assignment was offered up by League member, Jason Gross of Rediscover the 80’s. I’ve got a pocket full of quarters and I’m heading to the arcade…

You’ve decided to build an addition onto your house, a rec room that will feature your very own fantasy video arcade. What games are on your shopping list?

The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!
REMEMBER!:
Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.
By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!
(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)
WHAT??!! I did this one already.

Very well, I suppose I could write a sequel… more to come!
(Great pick, Jason!)
Ha! Well, it’s a great inspiration for the rest of us! 😉
I’ve rigged all the cabinets so there are no tokens needed!

Take it from a former arcade employee, that is amazingly easy to do.
Dude, come on! I need a size limit, otherwise I’ll be posting all day! I’ll try to limit myself when I get around to writing it…
Oh man, great topic, but I did this once already.
I’ll submit that previous article (Wow! Was that TWO years ago?!):

PLUS, I’m in the middle of Superman Week so I don’t think I could get a sequel done anyway.

FYI, I updated my old article with some links to Shawn and Classick Material’s articles.

I singled out pretty much just ONE game I HAD TO HAVE. You’ll see why.
