Since their genesis in the 70s, arcade machines are now a firm fixture in the commercial space, and have become an iconic part of global culture over the past 40 years with many titles going on to become firm favourites in the hearts of millions, with titles such as Street Fighter, Space Invaders, Robotron 2084 and Mortal Kombat amongst others becoming instantly recognisable classics that made arcades so special and memorable to visit.
New and classic machines
Arcade machines can be as large and exciting as a sit-down driving simulator like Outrun, to as contained and timeless as a game of Centipede. Whatever you feel would be a good fit for your venue, we'll be able to help.
New arcade machines are being released every year much to the delight of consumers, who are eager to try the latest and greatest games. Aside from all the incredible modern games being released to the market today, we are even able to offer many golden age arcade legends such as Donkey Kong or NBA Jam. These retro games that we offer are built using brand new components and cabinets, but take advantage of the original board sets, meaning the games are completely legal to operate commercially.
Why are arcade machines great for business?
Arcade machines undoubtedly look more attractive in a long row, side by side with different titles to cater to the largest range of customers possible. With so many classics to choose from, it's easy to find a title that will resonate with your audience. 2-player cabinets have also proven to be exceptionally popular in venues, with repeat plays being common.
In addition, all machines (including the classic machines) can be equipped with brand new coin mechanisms that will allow them to accept all new coinage.
Our arcade machine installations
Arcade machines always go down a treat wherever they're installed, especially in locations such as Queens in London, where we installed many classics. In this case, we were able to create robust cabinets to stand up to the rigours of constant use.
Award winning service
Arcade machines are simple to set up and operate. Most are simple plug-and-play machines that require minimal maintenance. For the duration of your agreement, we also include a full service plan to help keep your machines up and running in the event of a breakage.
