Questions We Get a Lot
Most of our arcade machines are designed for straightforward home setup and arrive largely pre-assembled — you're typically looking at minimal assembly before you're ready to play. Each unit includes the hardware and controls needed to get started, so you won't need special tools or technical expertise. If you have any questions during setup, our team is here to help.
Upright cabinets are the classic standing style you'd recognize from a traditional arcade, with controls and a vertical screen facing the player — great as a statement piece against a wall. Cocktail arcade machines feature a horizontal screen built into a table-style cabinet, allowing two players to sit across from each other for a more social, face-to-face experience. Both styles are built to elevate your game room, so it really comes down to your space and how you like to play.
Yes — several of our arcade machines, including the Cocktail Arcade Machine and the 50-game SNK cabinet, are equipped with dual-player controls so two people can compete head-to-head right out of the box. The Cocktail Machine also features dual trackballs, making it ideal for classic competitive gameplay. Check each product listing for the full breakdown of control configurations.
We offer Free Shipping on Most Orders Within the Continental U.S. (Excludes AK/HI), so your arcade machine arrives at your door without added freight costs in most cases. If for any reason you're not satisfied, our 30-Day Returns policy gives you time to evaluate your purchase — please review our Return Policy page for full details on the return process.
