Best Home Arcade Machines

Arcade games are fun, but you don’t often get to play them the way they were meant to be played. Console ports and collections are entertaining, but they will never compare to the thrill of playing on a real cabinet.

Fortunately, there are a variety of low-cost, home-friendly equipment available right now.

There are many of replica Namco arcade machines on the market, but Arcade1Up’s Class of ’81 home arcade cabinet is something special. For the sake of space, it’s smaller than what you’d find in an actual arcade, but that didn’t stop the attention to detail.

Getting Namco Fans on a Budget

If a full machine is out of your price range, either monetarily or in terms of space, our Arcade1Up counter-cade is for you. It’s small enough to put on a counter while yet delivering a genuine experience.

The cost is significantly less than that of a normal arcade machine, and you’ll still get a cool-looking item for your home (with accurate artwork).

Four-Player Co-op: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The finest games are played with friends, and if you’re a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this game is especially fun. You and up to three other people can play locally or online and experience some of the best classic arcade beat ’em’ ups ever made.

If you find the main game a little too antiquated, the sequel, Turtles in Time, is also included, with improved visuals and more mechanics. Buy Arcade Games online.
