I don't know what's involved for the Freak-meister in including games in his/our Arcade- just a simple redirect, or some sort of byzantine permission process?
If it's simple, here are a few recommendations (all on the same site, Arcade Village). All but the 2nd are old arcade favorites.

The answer to Air Fox. You can still devote a fair amount of time to it, but by that I mean 15-20 not 40-50 minutes. Plus, the levels get increasingly and seriously vicious so you're doing well to spend more than 5. While the opening levels are easy, things quickly get unpleasant. Hint: Once you "capture" the 4-shot icon, DO NOT go for the single shot icon... EVER.

A truly cool evolution- not variation- on tetris. You not only have to deal with different shapes and pattern-recognition, but unlike tetris the colors are independent of the shapes. The goal is not only to fit the shapes together like tetris, but to fit the color units together, with the greatest points going to the most colored blobs fitted together (like Collapse or Crashdown), and to certain shapes (which you have to discover yourself- they aren't included in the instructions). If you liked Tetris but want something harder, this is even more insidious AND addictive.
Also on the Arcade Village site are Centipede, Galaxians, a game of the Donkey Kong sort (but not a rip-off) called Mountain Joe, Qbi (now there's a blast from the past, and Missile Command.
Whether our much-beleaguered leader can include any of them in the VN Arcade or not (he deals with realities we can not ken), I'd love to hear other recommendations for stuff y'all have found out there.
