I would serve beer and soda. I would have a real popcorn maker. I would serve good pizza and really good burgers. No food or drinks would be allowed in the arcade. I would have skee ball and ticket games and prizes. I would have music playing from a solid jukebox with rad tunes inside. There would be lots of black lights so your shoe laces and teeth look like they're glowing. It would have great temperature controls, so you'd never get too hot, and you'd never get too cold. High scores would be posted on large screens around the arcade, showing daily, weekly, and all-time high scores. Big screen TVs would be around the arcade, bathing the players in the moderate light from movies like Tron and Halloween. Maybe not that. Scratch that, it would negate the mood lighting and black lights. And it would be so much fun. And you'd want to drink and eat and much popcorn and bring your friends to play games. You'd have so much fun at my arcade, you wouldn't want to leave and you couldn't wait to come back. You'd have a favorite food and drink, but you'd try them all, but you would have one that was delicious to you. You'd have a lot of favorite games, but you'd have just one or two that you were really good at. And you'd meet people at the arcade who were like you, and they would help you get better, and you'd help them get better. And every game would only be a quarter, no $0.50 games here! And there would be change machines and drink rails. And you could rent the arcade for special occasions. And it would be a blast. And the music of all those machines would play all night long and be glorious. And the beer would be cold and crisp and fresh. And the food would be hot and flavorful. And the popcorn would be like movie popcorn, but better. Buttery and salty and melt-in-your-mouth good. And people would have fun and love it and be happy. And it would be so great. Yeah... ... ... ...
