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 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.

Must-have Nu-Gen options include the Light Gun for your favourite shooters to create a fast-paced and immersive experience, Servo Joysticks for ultimate precision whilst gaming, allowing you to switch between 4 and 8-way control movement in-game, and also the incredible Dynamic Marquee that displays the logos and graphics of the game you are currently playing on the top marquee screen - a must-have for the ultimate nostalgic gaming experience.

This arcade machine requires an internet connection to operate, which allows the machine to access and play thousands of different games from a cloud based, 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*.

You can even refine your choice whilst using the games list with a dedicated search function and favourites feature, allowing you to find your favourites in a snap.

Please note that some scenes on this arcade will be 18+, suitable for adults only.

Important Note: 

None of our arcade machines are supplied with any game ROMs. They are available to download and play from a publicly accessible server online. Once played the game will be deleted from the machine's memory. High scores will be saved for most games.

*Save/Load functionality is game dependent and may not be available on every single title.
