The Internet Archive quietly upgraded its in-browser technology to increase its portfolio from around 600 to over 1700 arcade games, emulated in real-time.
There are literally tons of lost classics to choose from; most work full speed on a modest PC thanks to their new technology.
Might I suggest:
DJ Boy
BRap Boys
Baseball Stars 2
Narc
Xmen
Super Pang
Dungeons and Dragons
Bomberman World
Captain America and the Avengers (not a great game, but relevant for today!)
Sunset Riders
Smash TV
among tons of others. Works in pretty much any browser, any machine (Chrome is probably the best.)
You can keep your Playboxes and SwitchPros. I have a blast from classic arcades. For free!
(but as a non-profit, feel free to give them a donation if you like.)

At the closest approximation- an arcade in Chicago with only about 500 games, the weight is tons.
This is more than three times that.

You make a good point!
Uses Mame.
Hit tab in any game to pull up menu, then look up controls. You can customize.
classicreload doesn't have any Arcade games, from what I can tell, and the emulation is a few notches below IA's (no WASM)
What classicreload does have is C64 games, which are inexplicably missing from IA (although Apple II, Mac, and all the rare systems make up for it.)
I'm not sure you can compare the two, unless you really need a C64 fix.
Edit: It does appear as though some of the DOS programs on classicreload are different than IA (i.e. full version of Doom.)

edit 2: Simpsons game is great too. Was ported to Xbox 360 a few years ago on XB360 Arcade - https://archive.org/details/arcade_simpsons
