What Awaits You In Early Access?

  • Build Your First Retro Arcade 🕹️ Start turning an empty space into your very own retro gaming business. In Early Access, you'll have 10 rooms to work with, giving you plenty of space to start building the arcade you've always wanted.

  • Make It Yours 🎨 Your arcade doesn't have to look like everyone else's. Choose from 127 decoration products, 26 wall textures, 17 floor textures, room lighting options, and multiple company name signs to create your own unique style.

  • Fill Your Shelves 💿 A proper retro arcade needs more than just machines. Stock your store with different types of Game CDs, from Simulation and Sports to Strategy and Action, and fill your shelves with Gaming, Comic, Sports, and Technology magazines.

  • Choose Your Tokens 🪙 Pick your arcade token style from 4 different token colors. It's a small detail, but if you're going retro, you might as well commit.

  • Start Building Your Business 💰 Early Access gives you an introductory management experience where you can learn to run your arcade, organize your space, make business decisions, and grow your establishment.

  • A Glimpse of What's Coming 👀 Future updates will expand the arcade with new machines, more rooms, new games and magazines, movies, retro consoles, apparel, and more ways to customize your business.
