There's a whole internet gaming sub-culture devoted to creating and building entire luxury consoles that run the original games on ROMS taken from the origonal chips. Some of them are quite elaborate.

Hmmm.... I could design a USB gaming console that had all the goodies, such as a ball and spinning wheel, for a PC to run those old games. Bet they would sell too!
they sell full size controllers ala the old arcades for PC's. Actually with a bit of searching, you can find everything you need, and put something like 4300 old video games and arcade games in one machine.
I've seen these machines, they are awe inspiring. Gattaga to Area 51 (with guns), to original Mortal Combat, to Gauntlet, all at your finger tips.
There are DIY project sites that explain the entire process, as well as guys who build and sell them.
