What We Build

Full-Size Cabinets

The classic upright experience — full-height cabinets with proper controls, real arcade monitors and room-filling sound, built to your spec.

Bartop & Tabletop

Compact machines that sit on a bar, counter or desk — full arcade gameplay in a footprint that fits anywhere.

Wall-Mount & Pedestal

Space-saving slim cabinets that hang like artwork, plus pedestal units — arcade nostalgia without giving up the floor.

Restoration & Upgrades

Breathe new life into a tired original — cabinet repair, modern electronics, new controls, fresh artwork and LED upgrades.

How it works

From Idea to High Score

  1. 01

    Consultation & Design

    We talk through your space, your favourite games and your style, then sketch out a design and quote for your build.

  2. 02

    Hand-Built Cabinet

    The cabinet is cut, assembled and finished by hand in the workshop — solid joinery, smooth edges, built to last.

  3. 03

    Artwork & Electronics

    Custom artwork, marquee lighting, controls and wiring come together — every button, LED and cable fitted by hand.

  4. 04

    Delivery & Setup

    Your machine is delivered, set up and tested in place. All that's left is to press start.

About Arcade86

Arcade86 started with a simple obsession: the glow of a CRT, the click of a microswitch, and the feeling of standing in front of a machine that was built to be played.

Every machine here is made to order, by hand, in a small workshop — no production line, no shortcuts. From the first sketch to the final button, each build is treated like a one-off piece of furniture that's meant to be used, played and loved for years.

Whether it's a full-size cabinet for your game room, a bartop for your business, or bringing an old favourite back to life, the goal is always the same: capture a little of that golden-age magic and make it yours.
