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!

plutot sympa, mais durée de vie plutot courte je pense. progression assez rapide, apres 5h de jeux, presque deja tout debloqué, le tour devrais etre rapide a faire, a voir le contenue proposé par la suite
This game is pure nostalgia! It brings back the classic arcade spirit in a modern and entertaining way. The controls are smooth, the gameplay is addictive, and the visual style is absolutely fantastic. A must-try for anyone who loves classic arcade games. A perfect experience for anyone who misses the golden age of arcade games. The pixel-style graphics, energetic music, and fast-paced gameplay come together to create a truly enjoyable game. It’s nostalgic while still being fun and appealing to modern players. I truly thank everyone who contributed. I’m going to keep playing. Forever...

The game gets more enjoyable the longer you play. It takes a little time to get into, but once things start opening up, the gameplay becomes much more fun and engaging. The upcoming features also look really promising, and I'm definitely curious to see where the game goes from here. Looking forward to the future updates!
Some bugs here and there but super fun time! Cant wait for future updates and fixes.
Başta jeton satma gibi konularda keşfetmek için zorlansam da ilerleyen dakikalarda işletmeyle bütünleştikçe bu dükkan benim havasını veriyor. İlerleyen levellerde müşteri potansiyeli ve hizmet yelpazesi genişledikçe daha çok sarıyor :D

[h2] Intro [/h2] I’ve spent some time with Retro Arcade Shop Simulator and overall I’ve enjoyed it. It’s a fun game to jump into, build up your arcade and pass the time. The core idea is solid, although there are a few areas I’d love to see improved as development continues. [h1] Pros [/h1] [list] [*]Great game for passing the time. It’s easy to sit down and lose a few hours building and managing your arcade. [*]Customers are generally happy, and seeing your arcade fill up with people makes the place feel alive. [*]The price is reasonable for what the game currently offers. [*]Being able to upload your own music for the jukebox and boombox is a great feature. It adds a lot more personality to your arcade and lets you create your own atmosphere. [/list] [h1] Cons [/h1] [list] [*]The bowling pin sound effects are awful. This is one of the first things I’d like to see replaced or improved. [*]There’s no press-to-sprint option. Moving around becomes slow when you’re constantly going between different parts of the shop and warehouse. [*]There’s no option to change the currency symbol. It would be nice to choose between £, $, €, and other currencies. [*]There’s no general in-game music outside of music played through the jukebox or boombox. Some optional background music would help when you haven’t placed either of these. [*]There’s no trolley or cart for transporting boxes. You have to carry boxes one at a time, which gets tedious once you start ordering larger amounts of stock. [*]There’s currently no warehouse customisation. Being able to change the layout, add shelving, decorate it or expand the storage area would make warehouse management more interesting. [/list] [h1] Future [/h1] One area where this game has loads of potential is custom media. Since custom music is already supported, I’d love to see the idea expanded further. [list] [*]Custom videos for arcade machines. Let us upload our own video files or clips and have them appear on arcade screens. [*]Custom videos for the cinema screen. This would make building a cinema area much more interesting and personal. [*]Custom videos for the bowling alley screens. Custom animations, clips or other media playing above the lanes would add another level of customisation. [/list] [h1] Overall [/h1] I recommend Retro Arcade Shop Simulator. It’s affordable, enjoyable and a good game to play when you want something casual. Most of my complaints are quality-of-life features and areas where the game still needs some polish. The foundations are already there, and features such as custom music show how much potential there is for player customisation. Good game with plenty of room to grow.
Eine eigene Spielhalle mit blinkenden Automaten, Neonlichtern und diesem herrlichen Krach aus allen Ecken ist ne schöne Idee. Natürlich startet man auch hier wieder in einem ziemlich leeren und dreckigen Laden, bevor daraus eine bunte Spielhalle wird. Erst mal heißt es deshalb aufräumen, den Boden wischen und sich mit der anfangs etwas gewöhnungsbedürftigen Steuerung vertraut machen. Danach werden die ersten Automaten bestellt, aufgestellt und eingeschaltet. Kunden kaufen an der Kasse ihre Token, werfen sie in die Maschinen und wir sammeln sie später wieder ein. Das Spielprinzip ist ziemlich einfach, aber sobald die ersten Automaten genutzt werden und plötzlich überall Kunden herumlaufen, will man direkt weiter ausbauen. Nach und nach kommen Air Hockey, Billard, Bowlingbahnen, Renn- und Flugsimulatoren, Flipper, Greifautomaten, Go-Karts und sogar ein 8D-Kino dazu. Insgesamt lassen sich zehn Räume freischalten und mit verschiedenen Böden, Wandfarben, Graffiti, Neonlichtern und Dekorationen gestalten. Im normalen Spielverlauf schaltet man noch den Verkauf von Spiele-CDs und Magazinen frei oder eröffnet eine Cafeteria mit Burgern, Kaffee und Getränken. Aus der kleinen Bude wird dadurch tatsächlich eine ziemlich große Unterhaltungshalle. Je größer die Spielhalle wird, desto mehr gibt es natürlich auch zu tun. Automaten gehen kaputt und werden über kleine Minispiele repariert, während nebenbei die Böden dreckig werden, Vorräte leer laufen und die Token in den Automaten fast überquellen. Anfangs kümmert man sich um alles selbst, später können Kassierer, Reinigungskräfte, Techniker, Küchenpersonal und Tokensammler einen großen Teil der Arbeit übernehmen. Das ist auch bitter nötig, sobald sich vor der Cafeteria die Kunden stapeln, die Bowlingbahn voll ist und gleichzeitig irgendwo der nächste Automat den Geist aufgibt. Noch ist allerdings nicht alles sauber durchdacht. Kartons können nur einzeln getragen werden und ausgerechnet Mitarbeiter zum Auffüllen der Waren fehlen bisher. Bestellt man mal größere Mengen, verbringt deshalb unfreiwillig ziemlich viel Zeit auf dem Weg zwischen Lager und Verkaufsraum. Dazu kommen kleinere Fehler, etwas merkwürdiges Kundenverhalten und einige Abläufe, die noch Feinschliff brauchen. Die Entwickler liefern momentan aber regelmäßig Hotfixes und haben bereits ein paar Probleme mit Personal, Speicherständen und Maschinen behoben. Für ein Early-Access-Spiel steckt bereits ordentlich Inhalt im Spiel. Wirtschaftlich besonders tief geht das Ganze zwar nicht und wer eine richtige Management-Simulation erwartet, dürfte sich etwas unterfordert fühlen. Grafisch ist ebenfalls noch nicht alles perfekt, aber die Automaten, Neonlichter und die immer größer werdende Spielhalle sehen bereits ziemlich schick aus. Insgesamt ist Retro Arcade Shop Simulator noch eine kleine Baustelle, steht aber schon auf einem guten Fundament und wird momentan regelmäßig verbessert. Von mir gibt es deshalb einen Daumen nach oben. In diesem Sinne, habt Spaß 😊
İt has a fantastic retro atmosphere. You can't tear yorself away from it. İt draw you in somehowe. It offers a sense of fun that is both relaxing and competitive. Great job.
Oyun beni eskilere götürdü.. Hiç sıkılmadan oynuyorum ve gelecek eminim çok güncelleme olacaktır sabırsızlanıyorum yapımcıyı tebrik ediyorum başarılar dilerim. Oyunu güncellemesiz ek içeriksiz bırakma lütfen :)
