This hit me when I was visiting the local retro barcade. What stand-up/arcade machines would you actually want/play enough to warrant having one in your home?

For arcade:

-Star Wars
-Tempest
-Elevator Action
-Tron
-Discs of Tron
-Raiden II
-Gyruss

-And maybe Bust-a-Move/Samurai Showdown 2, if I had room left over

For pinball:

-Star Wars (1997 version)
-Attack from Mars
-Guns & Roses
-Haunted Mansion (triple tier action!)

In other news, if any of you are even in the Pacific NW, come visit and i'll take you to Ground Kontrol.
