About
Build and manage your ultimate retro arcade! Buy classic Arcade Machines, Galaxy Pinball, and Gift Claw games, or invest in Cinema 8D, Go-Karts, and Racing Simulators. Manage the economy, hire staff, and keep every machine running!
Step into the neon-lit world of the past and build the ultimate entertainment center in Retro Arcade Shop Simulator. Start with a humble, dusty venue and gradually transform it into a booming, large-scale arcade business. Buy nostalgic arcade cabinets, organize your floor plan to maximize customer flow, and watch the tokens roll in. Whether you want to recreate a cozy 80s hangout spot or build a massive, multi-room gaming paradise, you have the tools to bring your retro tycoon dreams to life.
Growing your business takes more than plugging in a few machines. You’ll need to manage a token economy across four different currencies, watch your hourly income, and take out bank loans to fund your expansions.
Unlock up to 10 unique rooms and fill them with a variety of attractions. Offer your customers classic Air Hockey, Pinball, and Whack-A-Mole, or invest in high-end Plane Simulators, Bowling Alleys, Go-Kart tracks, and immersive 8D Cinemas. When crowds get overwhelming, hire cashiers, cafeteria workers, and token collectors so no customer ever waits in line.
Make the arcade truly yours with deep interior customization. Choose from dozens of wall and floor textures, add vibrant graffiti murals, and set the perfect mood with neon lighting, signs, and decorative plants. You’ll also need to keep your customers fueled by managing a cafeteria - serve burgers, pour drinks, and sell gaming magazines or CDs to maximize your daily profits.
Heavy use takes its toll. Cabinets break down, screens go dark, and a dead machine is a machine that isn't making you money. Service and repair your hardware, mop the floors, empty the token boxes, and keep the whole venue in working order. Do it all yourself to save money in the early days, then hire repairmen and cleaners once the crowds get too big to handle alone. Blend relaxing business progression with an unforgettable nostalgic atmosphere and become the ultimate arcade tycoon!

Прикольная игрушка. Время убить можно
I'm gonna say yes, cause I know this game is early access. I will say that I do feel like you can get to a good place within the arcade fairly quickly. It seems there isn't an autosave feature so when my game crashed, I lost like 3 hours of work but it only took me another 3 to get it back to where it was before. The downside is that it feels like you get a nice, padded out arcade but the last few expansions are expensive so you're just opening up and waiting for money to build up, I feel like the pricing for some of the items is all over the place as well which means if you want to decorate or restock, you eat into your cash stack. The only other downside is that the machines wear down over time, as you'd expect, they get visibly dirty but I can't figure out how to fix it. Do I need to wait till they're completely run down or do I just get rid and replace it? Which could become expensive. Overall, it's a fun game. It's somewhat quick and easy but I do feel like there is room for improvement, both with things being added and changes to somethings already in the game. Also, the use of AI isn't great. I understand it's a small team but, it's very clearly typical AI which ruins it a little.

Baue Deine eigene Arcade-Spielhalle. Schönes Game bei dem es leider bis jetzt aber der viel zu schnelle Fortschritt etwas vergeigt. Optisch ist es passend und die Arcade Geräte kommen super rüber. Aber wenn ich nach zwei Stunden fast alles frei geschaltet habe, stimmt was nicht. Auch die akustische Atmosphäre dürfte deutlich präsenter sein. Man hat sehr schnell alle Angestellten, was heißt, ich renne nur herum, bestelle Waren und kümmere mich um Kleinigkeiten. Der ganze Fortschritt muss deutlich herunterschraubt werden. Geld wird sehr schnell verdient. Es sind diese Kleinigkeiten die aber auffallen. So kann man nicht sehen, was man noch an Lager hat und muss ständig die Getränke/Snackautomaten, den Kühlschrank etc. kontrollieren. Hier wäre eine Übersicht auf dem InGame Tablet sinnvoll. Dennoch, das Spiel macht Spaß, das Gameplay geht simpel und flüssig von der Hand und das Spiel läuft solide. Keine Frage, es ist EA und hier kann man noch viel nachbessern und hinzufügen. Ich würde es aucf jeden Fall empfehlen aber erwartet zur Zeit noch kein ausgewogenes und abgestimmtes Spiel. Aber es funktioniert und kann Spaß machen. Ein Lob, der Entwickler ist hier in den Steam Diskussionen sehr aktiv. Macht auch nicht jeder.
Eski atari salonlarını yönetme hissiyatı veriyor, çok beğendim
Apenas con 3 horas se consigue un gran avance, el progreso es muy rapido y justo eso es lo que no deberia ocurrir en este tipo de simuladores, la experiencia en si es gratificante y ya me muero de ganas por que le creen mods, tiene muchisimo potencial para estar en un top de reconocidos. Sin embargo existen puntos en contra, como la inexistencia de un empleado que reponga el almacen de los alimentos, que se tenga que hacer manual es muy tedioso. En general muy buen juego :p
It's exactly what i expected. Kept me entertained for a few hours. Pretty fun! Pro tips: Food doesn't pay much. Ditch the vending machines, pizza, burgers, etc. Worry only about mass arcade, karaoke, flight sim as they pay the most. Keep token machines and keep them topped off around the areas that use x, y colors. You can keep a couple of each thing for aesthetics, but the first three i mentioned will roll in the most dough.
Loving the game and having fun ! Cant wait to see what more comes to the game !
Vraiment cool, hâte de voir les prochains update
Solid simulator for early access. Devs did a great job, I have not encountered any major bugs or really any big in that matter. Looking forward to more content
