What makes a high quality arcade game?
Quality
Collector Connection
Collector Connection
Just as there are cars and trucks of different quality, arcade games can be built with higher quality parts that will enhance your game playing experience and increase the reliability of your game. This is why some games are sold at lower prices, however not all higher priced games are of good quality. Knowledge is power.

Collector Connection
Buying from a collector, as opposed to someone who just wants to sell stuff and make money, gives you access to a body of knowledge and experience that is aligned to what most people want from an arcade game. Authentic games don't happen by mistake or by cutting corners.
Locally Made
Collector Connection
Locally Made
Buying locally has many advantages, such as lower overhead, and in person delivery and repair. You also support your local economy, reduce the impact on the environment, and make a connection that will endure as long as you own your game.
What makes our games the best?
Customization
When and where it is possible, we can customize the cabinet style, art and games that are played on each unit, to fit your personal preferences.
Joysticks
Arcade quality controls help our games feel and play like the originals. Some people use 8-way joysticks, which makes certain 4-way games (like Pacman and Donkey Kong) feel awkward and clumsy. A high quality joystick will feel good in your hand, allow quick and precise movements, and last for many years.
Sound
Where some games have small, round speakers that make your game sound tinny and weak, we use shielded 6x9 speakers so your game will have great bass, and sound like it is supposed to. We also install a volume control on the each cabinet for easy adjustment.
Wiring
Many games will use the cheapest Chinese wiring harness you can buy, with very thin wires that will often become brittle and break over time. We use a JAMMA Super Harness, which costs 5 times the cheaper harness, but has the appropriate thickness wires for each circuit.
Power Supply
The power supply is typically one of the first things to break down on an arcade game. We use a 20 AMP fan cooled power supply that will last longer and comes with a circuit breaker in case you have a power surge or lightening strike that otherwise could break your game.
Monitor
It is important to have the correct monitor for a classic arcade game, which is a 19 inch with 5:4 aspect ration. Anything larger can distort the image. We use ACER brand monitors that come with a 3 year warranty, and we build them so that replacement can be done easily when needed.
Coin Doors
Most of our games come with metal coin doors that are wired with lights and coin mechanisms, so that you can easily switch between free play or coin play. Even if you keep your game on free play, the ability to have it work on coins will give it a better resell value if you ever need to part with your game.
High Quality Artwork
We use high quality silk screened artwork when possible, which looks great and is less likely to fade over time.
Warranty
Our games come with a 1 year parts and labor warranty and lifetime support, so if something goes wrong, we will come to your home to repair it.
