The RETROCADE story

From arcade nostalgia to modern custom builds

RETROCADE grew from a hands-on interest in classic arcade and pinball hardware. What began with repairing, restoring and understanding older machines developed into a broader service for people who wanted the feeling of an arcade in a machine designed for modern homes and entertainment spaces.

Today, RETROCADE works across full-size arcade machines, compact bartop arcades, virtual pinball machines, DIY arcade kits, parts and specialist projects.

The aim remains straightforward: create an enjoyable, maintainable gaming setup that suits the room, the players and the games they genuinely want to play.

What we do

More than one type of arcade experience

Different rooms and players need different machines. RETROCADE helps buyers compare the format first, then choose the controls, display, artwork and system that make sense for the intended use.

Classic format

Arcade machines

Two-player and four-player uprights, cocktail tables, pedestal systems, shooter cabinets and themed builds for homes, offices and venues.

Compact

Bartop arcades

Smaller cabinets and console-style systems for benches, desks, apartments and rooms where a full upright is not practical.
