Early machines were devoted to games published by Atari, Namco and Capcom, and to the ever-popular fighting game franchises Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat.

Paste used to have one of Arcade1Up’s Street Fighter II machines in our studio green room, and so we know from first-hand experience that they more than fit the bill, even if they aren’t exactly like the machines we remember from our youth.Īrcade1Up initially launched with collections focused on specific publishers or series. They’re a more affordable way to build your own home arcade with something that looks and feels like the real deal, while taking up slightly less space and presenting less potential engineering or electrical issues. Standing at three quarters of the size of a real arcade cabinet, each Arcade1Up machine is adorned with the distinctive art of a long-time favorite game, and typically features anywhere from two to a dozen games from the heyday of the arcade era. Since 2018, Arcade1Up has been pumping out almost full-sized recreations of classic arcade games for the home game room.
