I spent a considerable amount of time and pocket money in the arcades throughout the 1980s, before home consoles could replicate the 'proper' games that I would shovel 10p coins into. Space Invaders,... See more

If you’re on the fence about buying one of these things stop hesitating and order one! You won’t regret it. I ordered the retro space invaders cabinet and the guys did a fantastic job building and del... See more

About Arcade Mania:
At Arcade Mania, we come to work every day because we love games - and we want to share the love. The growth of retro video gaming has been staggering over the past decade. Gamers around the world fondly remember their first high score, the beautiful simplicity of those classic games, and the adrenaline pumping music and sound effects. Many gamers have attempted to re-experience that golden age by downloading emulators or buying licensed versions from their consoles digital store. Sadly, this fails to recreate that unique arcade experience we all love and remember.

We only stock kit that we are happy using ourselves. We started as 2 guys who wanted to make great arcade machines. The customer demand and interest was incredible. We are so happy! Due to continued growth we became a limited company in Jun 2016 and have continued to grow ever since.

blown away…

I’ve had my desktop machine for a week now - and I am honestly astounded how good it is. The retro feel, the nostalgia it has generated is immense.

10,000 games apparently - I will not be able to confirm or refute this - but all my favourites are there.

A honourable mention also to sales process, communication and delivery - all spot on.

Well done Arcade Mania - you have made a wonderful product.

Wow what a company

Wow what a company. From start to finish the service was first class. They kept me updated throughout the whole process. I was the customer from hell with my messages but they were always happy to help and answer my questions. I even got it delivered by them with a birthday card for my husband. Thank you so much we love it.

Excellent product, very happy retro gamer!

Arcade Mania have made me a very happy retro gamer! Excellent build quality, tons of design choices, and were always available on the phone to answer questions and give updates. Very glad I choose them over other companies to build my machine.

Waited faaaarrrrrrrr too long and…

Waited faaaarrrrrrrr too long and communication ceased, had to send the boys round in the end. 🤣
Great machine overall and very well built with excellent attention to detail. It’s a Pandora’s Box inside a lovely cabinet so don’t expect the games to play or look exactly as you remember. My favourite game in 1984 was Kung-Fu Master and this one is very much faithful to the arcade game.
So, if you order one, be prepared to wait up to 3 months to actually get it. I’ve been to the factory in Barnsley and they do loads of other stuff. They were very busy at the time when I ordered mine.
Build five stars, games 4 stars overall satisfaction with transaction 3 stars.

Craig and his team gave a five star…

Craig and his team gave a five star experience. Craig helpfully sent photographs and videos and answered every question before buying. The item was made with care and the delivery was very good. After sale a brief problem was sorted out quickly and efficiently and he is there to help in future. Who could ask for more.

Great experience, love the machine!

I treated myself to a Mega arcade machine and I. Am. Loving it. Machine is stable, well built, looks and feels premium, and plays excellent. Craig was very helpful, and provided regular updates on his progress building it. Delivery also went without a hitch and assembling it (just putting the bartop on top of the stand) was very straightforward and easy. Very happy with the entire process and can recommend.

Best customer service I've ever experienced

Nayim and the rest of arcade mania go above and beyond to help their customers. After an unfortunate mishap with the courier, Nayim went out of his way to ensure I received the product I paid for. My machine is the perfect addition to my man cave and all of the games I've played run smoothly on it.

Alongside the impeccable customer service, the craftsmanship of the machine itself is none other than luxurious, it really is well made. I'd recommend any product from these guys, they really do hold the customers satisfaction at the heart of the business and it really shows.

Great work Nayim and crew!

OVERPRICED and one-man company

OVERPRICED and one-man company.

Be aware that the company is literally ONE MAN show. If he is sick forget about your product. During the purchase and sale period - great service and response and once the machine was received - literally nothing. Nayim would not even respond to whatsup msg. Shameful.
The quality of printing is good, it is a sturdy machine but attention to detail is poor - 22-inch screen is not aligned properly, the games are not set up for screen size (screen resolution ), poor manual. This is way overpriced, look elsewhere.

Hi Sasha,

Thanks for leaving your review. Just to provide some context…
1. You were after a “deal” and willingly took on a machine that had been repaired from transit damage.
2. Our technician, Nayim, had regular WhatsApp communication with you including videos, phone calls and voice notes through your journey and ensured all your questions were answered.
3. Your machine was dispatched within 3 days of ordering (a priority dispatch) and you made no attempt to inform us or your discontent. Instead, you messaged to praise the technician for their “great” and “professional service”.
4. You messaged our technician directly on the 20th December about making changes to your machine and requested wiring diagrams and the supply of arcade components- something we don’t generally offer, especially at the busiest time of the year. You didn’t contact the company directly and I can assure you we would’ve responded by the new year to a request you yourself phrased as “non urgent”.

Overall, it is a shame that you couldn’t reach out to us directly as we would’ve been happy to help. Instead, you’ve left a disheartening review aimed at one of our team members who tried very hard to ensure your satisfaction. In any case, you can contact the company directly and we will strive to resolve your concerns.

Relive your youth

Great customer service
After placing the order I received a courtesy call to check the order was correct. Nayim provided some advice on the colour combos on the machine.

Great product
Myself, kids and friends love the machine
