Introducing ArcadeMAX

A whole new world of arcade experiences is at your fingertips with the ArcadeMAX line of arcade machines and consoles.

This means more games, more experiences and more fun than ever before. Don't let limits hold you back. It's time to take arcade gameplay to the MAX.

The Basics

Every machine in the ArcadeMAX range has its own unique and defining features, but look forward to all the following in every machine in the range:

• Internet Enabled - Connect via a cable or via WiFi to play thousands of games from an unprecedented collection; bigger than any pre-loaded games pack. All available to play whenever you want.
• Built to Game - An internal PC Powers every machine in the range for unrivalled performance. This is in conjunction with the best arcade hardware around, including competition joysticks and buttons.
• Built to Last - Hand-built cabinets made from sturdy materials, complete with durable arcade hardware.
• Built to Amaze - Every machine is adorned with sharp graphics throughout, complete with dazzling lighting packages to light up your games room.
• Ready to Game - Set up and play in minutes.
• Completely exclusive to Home Leisure Direct
• LVD (Low Voltage Directive) and CE Mark compliant, UK power supply

ArcadeMAX Machines all require either a wired or wireless (via WiFi) internet connection to operate which allows the machine to access and play thousands of different games from almost every generation of arcade gaming imagineable from a publicly accessible server.

Whilst no games are installed on the machine "out of the box", playing a game is as simple as getting online then selecting one from the on-screen list where it will temporarily download to the machine's internal RAM to run. The internal PC will run your game (via emulation) and then remove it from the machine upon closing.

Don't worry about losing all your hard-earned high scores. Dedicated internal storage allows you to save your progress or high scores* at key points in your game to resume again at another time, even after the game has been closed via a save-state system*.

Games on this ArcadeMAX system come from all manner of games from generations new and old. Outlined in the below list are the emulators available to choose from:
