Play: 

Over 24,000 games at your fingertips, not only over 2500 arcade games but also encompasses A-Z of the greatest 8 and 16-bit console and computer systems.

Media:

Not only do you have access to over 30,000 games, but on all Bespoke Arcades Media and Elite series machines you have a front loading easy access hard drive bay. This will enable you to effortlessly pop in a third-party hard drive purchased from a multitude of online sellers. The system is infinitely flexible to customise exactly how you want it. Hyperspin, Launchbox and many more frontends are designed to natively work with all Media and Elite machines.

Bespoke Arcades goes one further and not only include the great handhelds but also the legendary home computers which always get overlooked in multi-game arcade machines due to the arcade machines being made in the far east where tastes are different.

Elite:

An Elite series arcade machine is the most powerful PC build for any arcade machine available. Not only are you given the largest range of titles available on any arcade cabinet on the market via our Retro Cloud software- it's infinitely customisable thanks to the front loading hard drive slot which allows for any pre-built games setup to be installed with no fuss.

Just take a look at the list of accessible games - over 35,000 for you to get your teeth into. An Elite system even has the raw power to emulate Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 titles. If it's modern arcade games you want to play like Tekken 7 or Star Wars: Battle Pod, or some lightgun action with Transformers: Human Alliance or Aliens: Extermination, Tekno Parrot can be used with all the settings maxed out.

Or maybe you simply want to play some current PC games, an Elite system is all you need. If analogue controls are required, plug in a wireless Xbox joypad and you're all set. All Elite arcade machines even come with HDMI output to allow for long stints of armchair gaming on your HDTV so you can play away from your arcade machine.

The Nu-Gen Arcade Machine can be customised to your specification in a variety of ways, from control panel customisations to full cabinet body graphic upgrades.
