I am probably one of the last generation that GREW up in the arcades like many others here, you know, the last of the Stranger Things crew, and the sound and nostalgia brings tears to my eyes!
Please do it.
My OPTIONAL (discard if you think it sucks) suggestions:
One set of OLD SCHOOL ARCADE BITMAPS
One set of NEW SCHOOL RETRO style BITMAPS
One set of OLD SCHOOL ARCADE SOUNDS
One set of NEW SCHOOL RETRO style SOUNDS
Allow swapping between old and new in real time if possible!
or a tick box on boot to mixed old and new retro sound and graphics.
Please test the polling rate on controls for input lag.
Remember when we played on the actual arcade machines all of that slack on the controls from being beaten up by X many players. The one thing we need are good and very tight controls. I would prioritize this higher than new graphics or sounds.
Tight, precise and accurate controls FTW.
Lastly, for a new retro version, Amiga or better grade (Neogeo, X68000 or CPS) multi-layers of parallax as we are moving around? Maybe semi vertical rotation with parallax?
Imagine rotating a soda can on the vertical axis (Y) while facing you (moving left and right), and seeing all the parallax and depth of the background artwork.
That C64 looks naff to be honest!
