The terms "retro" and "arcade" are very broad; they can range from a single-screen game like in 1980s to a Danmaku from the 2000s.
Platform?, Beat 'em up?, shoot' em up?, run and gun? fighting?

Without much more detail, I could recommend the games of "locomalito." He's an independent developer who usually makes arcade-style games. The bad thing is that you won't find him on Itch, but here's the link to his page. His games are usually free, but he has a couple of paid ones on Steam.

You also don't clarify if your machine uses a CRT and if you're limited to a certain resolution.

I have a '90s-inspired arcade shoot em up. It's designed for an vertical 800x600 monitor, but it runs on any modern computer. It's paid, but if you contact me privately, I can send you an Itch key if you're interested.

Retro in the term of Quarter Gobbler's, the kind of game where you play through once trying to get to the end, die once or too many times, then it's back to the title screen. OLD Nes games are a good example, better example's are Arcade games like Galaga, Space Invader's, etc.

Try "Darkula" (Single-screen arcade) from "locomalito"
