Game On

No rec room or man cave is complete without an arcade cabinet, but original arcade cabinets have gotten rare and become extremely expensive. Arcade1Up is out to fill the gap.

Asteriods, Centipede and Pac-Man might seem simplistic when compared with today’s virtual reality offerings, but they were addictive back in their heyday, as proven by the number of quarters plugged into them over the decades! Arcade1Up provides the ability to add this type of nostalgia and warmth — not to mention endless hours of entertainment — to any space easily and affordably. They’ve got a huge list of hits from Tron and X-Men to Ridge Racer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons and much, much more. They also offer combo units like the Street Fighter II Big Blue Arcade Machine with 12 games including Street Fighter II, Hyper Fighting, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Darkstalkers and Night Warriors. Most Arcade1Up machines stand at just under 4ft, each housing different classic arcade games, which come with immersive full-color hi-res displays and sounds. The cabinets also resemble the classic arcade joystick and button configurations of yesteryear; Arcade1Up.com.
