    Default List of Video Games with Virtual Arcades

    As I was messing around with the virtual arcade in Pac-Man World 2 tonight I started wondering what other video games have virtual arcades in them, so I started this thread to create a list.

    Pac-Man World 2
    Shenmue
    Project Gotham Racing
    The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
    GTA San Andreas
    Catherine
    Namco Museum
    Beavis and Butthead
    Donkey Kong 64
    Machinarium
    PlayStation Home
    Xbox's Arcade Room
    Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures
    Intellivision Lives!
    Virtual Springfield

    Cool topic! The Legend of the Mystical Ninja comes to mind -- in addition to an assortment of minigames accessible through certain shops, it features an arcade with a fun lil' Gradius Jr. kind of thing.

    GTA San Andreas has a arcade in a club, it has a Crystal Castles like game, and a space shooter.

    You could play a mini game called Butt Fighter in some of the arcade cabinets that were scattered around the SNES Beavis and Butthead game.

    Machinarium for the PC has an arcade in it, playing the games are necessary to finish the main game though so I'm not sure if it counts.

    Good call!! I haven't played that game in ages. I can't recall if this game was in the arcade or not.

    The game IS a virtual arcade!! New Retro Arcade for the Oculus Rift DK2 looks amazing. Imagine being able to virtually meet up with buddies across the country or planet and play throw down on some Tekken or team up on some Final Fight!

    If namco museum counts, so should the various Midway Arcade packages for PC/Console and also that Konami arcade colletion for the DS, and there was a GBA one as well (DS one is crazy has a lot of straight arcade ports.)

    It seems like I remember an arcade interface in at least one of the Midway Arcade Treasures titles.
