Funny you should mention that machine and that location - I only ever went there a couple of times for other kids' birthday parties, but very distinctly remember the location and playing Star Rider there. Reason it sticks in my head so much is that the only other place I ever saw the game was at Pinball Plus on Magnolia in Burbank, which was my local arcade. Funny to think that we probably played the exact same machine at around the same time.
I'll just add 'enhanced laserdisc support' for the wishlist. I love laser games, even if some of them haven't stood the test of time very well - they were incredible for their time, and some are still fun.

I know we've both played the same machine for this one, because that's also where I played it back in 2000 It should definitely make it in at some point if for no reason other than preservation and documentation.

Definitely.
For the rest of the wishlist:
Ms. Pac-Man Twin. How the tweaked gameplay changes the feel of the game is something I'd really like to see for myself.
Ms. Gorf. I know there are efforts underway to preserve whatever may be out there of it, but seeing what had been being considered for it in development is something I've been very curious about.
All of the Dinamic games. I remember playing After The War in one of Dublin's seedier arcades.
Whatever may exist for Atari's Battlestar Galactica laserdisc game. It was planned as a conversion for Firefox, and video was produced for it. Not sure if any actual game code was ever written or still survives, though.
Prototypes and unreleased games of all varieties, especially from the '70s and '80s. Basically, go through the UnMAMEd list and start ticking off boxes
