Jump into your jumpsuit, comb(over) your hair, and head on down to the arcade!
Based on the infamous pair of 1981 trainingvideos, all it needs is attendants with bad hair, bad uniforms and bad attitudes patrolling the joint, looking to roust all the punk kids smoking and trying to clean-and-jerk the pinball tables.

Awesome!
One of you guys should remake this (fictitious, 14 years old?!) arcade. I used to play this video every day for a while. He had others, but I'll never forget this one, probably due to the music... Stone In Love, and in the teaser for it, Separate Ways...
And as far as the Arcade '84 video goes, trust me, it's been more than considered, but as Dave Dries (the maker of the video) requested we not develop and release such a project, we have deferred to his wishes.

Good work to those that worked on this project of recreating that arcade spot. I am guessing that franchise was only on east coast of US? I don't recall that name here in California.
I see Atari LeMans in training presentation (at 0:43 in the video) as being one of the few remaining video games not emulated yet along with that cockpit model Sega Monaco GP cab....maybe one of these years.
I didn't look at comments carefully, but it appeared one of the commenters on youtube comments section on commenting about the really tall attendant with bushy/frizzy hair had the comment: "....actor Gene Wilder called and wants his hair back."

Thanks. And yes, the videos are a cavalcade of unintentional comedy.
Best I've been able to find out (via Michael Current's spectacular timeline site, there were between 40-50 Spaceport arcades located "throughout the U.S.".
The LeMans is one of the cabs that aren't yet modeled in 3DArcade either, so I substituted a Monte Carlo cab in its place in the gamelist:
