That brings me right back to the Westworld Arcade in L.A. in the early 80s. In addition to the sights and noises, I can almost smell that arcade scent and feel the texture of the plastic joystick in my hand.
Damn. That Merry Christmas video is from when I was minus a couple days old!
If you really want to go back in time at an arcade try the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.
They have machines going back to the 50s
I was only plus a few days! Happy birthday (soon)!
It is, of course, only a fraction of the arcade experience, but there is always MAME:

Going to school in 1977 needs a John Carpenter soundtrack.
How fun. I have been converting old home Super 8 films to video and loading them on YouTube for my family members to enjoy. Lots of good memories.
