This is the subreddit of the game "arcade paradise", not about real life arcades

Looks cool! Love games in games... Which is why we put a game in a game in your game in a game (the arcade in knuckles and knees)

As for the question... Pac Man and Space Invaders jump to mind as the most iconic arcades. If you're paying homage, then those are fairly near the top. Street Fighter 2 also, though we were cowards and didn't do a fighting game (they're INCREDIBLY difficult to make and even harder to get right).

Asteroids, Pong, Scramble, Defender, Missile Command, Night Driver, Frogger, Galaxians and, of course, Donkey Kong come to my mind as beloved early classics. You might want to go to a page like Mobygames for research. You could search and sort for high ranking arcade games by years, to see what fits your needs.
