Apex Media Arcade Machine

Our Bespoke Arcades Apex Media Arcade Machine comes with Free Delivery (worth £150) and over 350 classic games, plus we have the Lowest UK Price.  

The Apex arcade machine is by far and away the best regarded stand-up arcade cabinet available, allowing superb quality gaming in the finest of style.  With its sleek, cool looks and fine design, the Apex looks ideal in any setting - whether at home, in the office or as a great addition to the games room. Here at Home Leisure Direct, we've spent plenty of time with these machines, reliving the classic days of the arcades with all the games we'd nearly forgotten!

Providing the pinnacle in arcade gaming, the Apex plays like a dream and guarantees many years of enjoyment.  Whilst the appearance of the Apex is great, it’s also very easy to use - loading directly into the game selection menu making everything as simple as possible.  All of those who have the privilege of owning the Apex can enjoy the pleasure of reliving your favourite arcade games in the way that you remember all on one beautiful arcade cabinet.

The Apex has a large 20” screen and is a slender, compact arcade cabinet measuring only 56cm wide and 65cm deep so will never be obtrusive.  The large 2-player control panel has been purposefully designed to be at the most comfortable angle and position for true arcade gamers allowing the greatest playability currently available in any home arcade cabinet.  Now, it’s simply up to you to choose between joining forces to defeat the eternal foe and taking each other on in combat to the death!

(Model shown: Apex Elite)

The Apex Arcade Cabinet now comes in 3 different formats:

• Apex Play for clients that simply wish to play all the arcade machine classics
• Apex Media for those that want the additional multimedia and game-loading functionality
• Apex Elite for those that are only interested in the best of the best.
  

For more information on the specifications for each of these different models please see each individual listing.

Apex Media Arcade Machine:

Our Bespoke Arcades Apex Media Arcade Machine is provided with over 350 licensed games, and is fully compatible with other games, educational packages and emulators that can be easily loaded through the DVD drive or USB ports, which are conveniently located on the front. All Apex Media arcade machines are also configured to be compatible with the arcade emulator MAME and other older console emulators, allowing access to a huge inventory of games.  Once installed, emulators can enable our clients to add any additional games that they may acquire to their system. The Evo Media can very simply be configured to play 1000's of original arcade games along with a large number of older console games. 

Just as the Apex Media is superb for gaming, it also offers exceptional multimedia functionality in that with the built-in DVD re-writer, wireless card, speaker in/out and external USB ports, the cabinet doubles up as a high-end media centre.  The Evo Media can be used as a jukebox with crisp built-in speakers, the option of Hi-fi link-up and lots of spare hard drive space for storing tunes; to watch or create a DVD; to source media or surf the internet with the cabinet's wireless capabilities; or to add your media, link up your MP3 or utilize any other handy PC devices such as digital cameras or additional X-box 360 joypads, using the handy external USB ports.
