I’ve been looking for a multi game arcade system for a while and stumbled upon Americangearcompany.? ?They seems well made and are customizable.? For the price, they seem like a good value.? I’d love to hear if you make a decision.

Thanks

Michael?

Hi Everyone. 

We’ve been looking to get some feedback for ideas to improve our game room, and an arcade cabinet was suggested by many. I know it’s possible to put a computer with a front-end software in a cabinet so it can run any manner of games, but without buying individual pieces and building it myself I’m struggling to see how it’s feasible. That doesn’t even go into the wear-and-tear that an arcade stick would suffer from. Has anyone tried doing this in their spaces before? Any recommendations? I want this to be sustainable and easily fixable but it’s a tall order.

Thanks for sharing that link Michael! We are also looking at arcade systems and hadn’t found that company yet. I love that they offer some multi player options so it isn’t just students playing on their own. And the cost seems reasonable.

We had found these but haven’t purchased any yet:

• AB Video Arcades
• Arcade1Up
• Amusements Plus (local company, not sure if they ship)

Best,

Ken Beck
