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!

Nostalji hissini çok temiz veren, kafa dağıtmalık harika bir simülasyon. Mekanikleri yormuyor, dükkanı büyütme ve arcade makinelerini yönetme hissi oldukça akıcı. Indie bir ekibin elinden böyle keyifli bir işin çıkması harika. Emeği geçenlerin eline sağlık, kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.
Fun game! Looking forward to seeing all the roadmap implemented! Planning and buying and placing the games was super fun, finally figuring out when you need to replace old machines with new, and then deciding new placements. The negative I have is the huge manual effort for taking supplies from loading dock, from the cafe food /soda items, to the magazines and game software to the soda and snacks for the machines. I understand a new employee is being added to alieviate this bottleneck. Looking forward to that! Overall a great game, super fun, and kept me playing it!!!!!!

Jogo muito bonito, em breve outros desenvolvedores começam a copiar, poucos tem criatividade como como este desenvolvedor.
So far I enjoythe game, just a few adjustments to the staff would be nice. Level up so they work faster or get bonuses, a worker that stocks the machines and shelves and brings in the ordered stuff to the storage. Maybe an option to repair machines before they break like a maintenance. 8/10 one of the better Simulators
