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!

Reviews
Hey, an arcade game where I don't have to actually run a laundry instead. Awesome. I usually wait a little longer before I review, but I played the demo a ton. Runs great. I always keep my frames locked at 120 because that's what my monitor can do, and it hasn't dropped below that. My PC isn't even breaking a sweat (specs included below). CPU never tops about 35 percent usage and my GPU is in the mid 50s. Haven't noticed any bugs. The game has a solid amount of content. Lots of machines to add, and a lot of other things, as well. You can put in PCs and consoles. You have a bowling alley, a cafe and go-karts (eventually). Customization options are plentiful with lots of decorations, wall coverings and flooring. The employees work well. I wish there was a stocker employee, but the devs said they are working on something related to this. After the first few in-game days, progression feels borderline hectic, so I've not gotten bored. No balancing problems. Overall a very good modern shop sim. Not the huge amount of depth you might have expected 10 years ago, but on par with the best of the post "Supermarket Simulator" era games.

This game has potential. With the right updates and such. Its definitely in early access and might take a while for full release. Its fun to pass the time but its not a simulator I can play for hours yet. I hope they take the time and listen to the players and add new things and make the game fun to were it gets to wanna play longer.
This game has potential, seems to be AI art but the game was fun until i spent all of my money on shelves, games, magazines, over 6k worth of product all placed and set up for sale, just for the game to delete everything I placed down after saving. All the money gone, all the products and shelves gone, but i cant place anything in the same spot because the game thinks something is there. One of the machines you hire employees for disappeared as well and the employee just stands motionless fun game but to broken currently to play. WOULD NOT BUY UNTIL PROBLEMS ARE FIXED

macht Mega spaß hoffe das Mehrspieler noch kommt dann macht es noch mehr spaß mit sein freunden das game
Played for 5 hours straight on release and had a blast. The only bug I encountered is with one of the motorcycle sim machines. The workers won't empty the tokens. Other than that, 0 bugs and I can't wait to see what more is added later on.
