STAGE 1 · CHOOSE YOUR CABINET

Four cabinets. Infinite machines.

Every model is built to order around the same real-arcade bones — proper joysticks and arcade buttons, with your exact parts list locked in at quote time. What changes is the footprint, the screen, and everything you decide to put on it. And every "from" price is a complete, playable machine — stock wrap, one player, game system installed. The builder prices upgrades live: no mystery fees, no "call for pricing."

STAGE 3 · FROM IDEA TO DELIVERY

How it works

LEVEL 1

Design consult

We nail down the size, the art, and the games list together. You get a full visual proof of your machine before we cut a single board.

LEVEL 2

Build & burn-in

CNC-cut cabinet, hand assembly, heat-applied vinyl wrap, real arcade controls from the parts list we locked in together. Every button tested, every system booted, and you get photos of the whole build — A to Z.

LEVEL 3

Delivery day

White-glove delivery in the Portland metro, careful freight nationwide. Plugs into a normal outlet. Press start. Typical build time: [4–8 weeks].

INTERMISSION · FREE PLAY

This is the point of the whole thing: you see a screen and a joystick, and your hands already know what to do. Click the screen. Arrow keys, mouse, or touch.

  • Offices & startups — the break room worth walking to
  • Poker clubs & lounges — keep the rail entertained
  • Airbnbs & hotels — the amenity that books the listing
  • Your brand on the marquee, wrap, and boot screen

Two friends, one shop

PLAYER 1

Yassir

SOFTWARE

The game system, the configurator, everything with a cursor. Makes sure every machine boots fast, plays clean, and is easy to load with your own library.

PLAYER 2

Abdullah

HARDWARE

Cabinets, wiring, vinyl, finish. Built the first machine with his own hands — it lives at a Portland pizza shop, and people kept asking where to get one. That's how this company started.

We build these because we grew up in the glow of them. Every cabinet leaves the shop the way we'd want it in our own game rooms — solid, serviceable, and exactly yours.

STAGE 6 · QUESTIONS

FAQ

What games come on the machine?

Every cabinet ships with a legal, open-source game frontend, fully configured, plus a starter pack of legally-clean titles — open-source and homebrew games, and anything we can properly license. We do not preload copyrighted ROMs, and we don't resell bootleg game boards.

Adding games you own or have the rights to is easy — every machine ships with a plain-English guide. What we won't do: source, list, or wink at copyrighted ROMs. No gray-market game packs, no "call us and we'll load it up." That's not fine print — it's why your machine is safe in a home, safe in a business, and never dependent on a sketchy gray-market game board that nobody stands behind.

So it can play the classics I remember?

Yes — the hardware and open-source frontend run the same emulation platforms the retro community swears by, covering dozens of classic systems plus modern indie games. Bring the games you own; the included guide makes adding them painless. Commercial venues: talk to us about properly licensed game packages for public use.

How custom is "custom"?

Size, artwork, controls, lighting, extras. Stock themes are included; fully custom wraps — your face, your business, your design — are an option on every model. You approve a visual proof before we build. For art you supply, you confirm you have the rights to use it.

How long does a build take?

Typical build time is [4–8 weeks] from approved proof, depending on options and queue. Local Portland-metro deliveries are scheduled with you directly; nationwide shipments go by insured freight.

What does shipping cost?

Wall-mount and bartop units ship far cheaper than full-size cabinets — often by parcel or regional carrier, anywhere in the lower 48 from day one. Full-size uprights ship palletized freight (typically a few hundred dollars cross-country, quoted exactly before you commit); during our launch season, uprights deliver Portland-metro first. Local delivery and install is our favorite kind anyway — we bring the machine in, level it, and stay for the first game.

What do I need at home for it?

A normal 120V wall outlet and a spot to put it. Wall units need studs to anchor into (hardware included). No special wiring, no network required to play.

How do payment and deposits work?

Reserving sends us your build code by email. Once we've confirmed the design and final quote together, a [$500] deposit holds your build slot, with the balance due before delivery. The builder's price is an estimate until we confirm it — no surprises in either direction.

Is there a warranty?

[Warranty terms to be finalized — parts and workmanship coverage planned.] Either way: we build these to be serviced with a screwdriver, not shipped back, and we support what we build.
