Who we are
We are live long gamers with our roots in the Arcade experience. That with consoles and portables started our journey into “gaming" as we know it.
We are located in San Jose California. We started as a repair shop building out our collection to someday open as a freeplay Arcade. It’s our passion and this business serves to preserve the arcade experience as it’s quickly disappearing CRT monitors are no longer made in the world. LCDs have their place in gaming but do not directly replace the experience that tube monitors once created. We are preserving this for future generations.
When you play on these machines you will see a difference in controls and frame timing that lots of solutions today can not create properly for you. You will also find a curated selection of games matched to the right controls. You can’t haul so many of these monsterous cabs in a trailer or created the same experience with a flatpack you buy at Costco. Come and see the difference.
Here you can experience the Golden Age of gaming with Retro Vintage Arcades featuring mainly Glass Tube CRT monitors.
We repair, restore, sell Arcade games. You can come for a freeplay experience in our showroom floor by paying by the hour, night or during a Open Freeplay day where we won’t be charging. Alternatively you can also book a private event in our showroom space.
We have nearly 40 machines working featuring thousands of selectable games although for key titl Dedicated hardware is always used. You can record a Twin Galaxies high score on our Ms Pac and Galaga machines. Street Fighter 2 will be frame perfect.
