Arcades, especially now, are almost all but dead but there is a small movement to bring them back via 1Up’s home setups. They have released some pretty cool machines including vaꦆrious collections of Capcom games like Street Fighter, as well as sports favorites like NBA Jam. Before these started rolling out fans had to make their own arcade setups.
Some, if not most oꦐf these, are far more impressive. It just goes to show that fans are capable of anything if they try hard enough. A🤡rcade gaming fans are among some of the most hardcore out there, keeping the vibes of arcades alive until they die. Here are some of the very best fan-made arcade machines.
10 The Steam Engine Arcade By Inferno156
This fan-made unit was done by and posted on Imgur. They even show their step-by-ste🍒p process on how it’s done.

9 NES Arcade By B80yjld
This homemade arcad☂e unit was created by and also posted on Imgur.
Even though it is themed like an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:arcade version of the NES, complete with mushroom stools, it plays more than Nintendo content. That is to say, it runs on emulators. It’s just more fun to showcase 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Bros. in the 𒐪reveal image to keep everything on-brand.
8 HadesArcade By Canhazreddit
This was posted on Reddit via .
Hades might be one of the most perfect modern games to make an arcade unit out of. Not only does every fan piece of Hades content sp🐎read like wildfire online, making it easy to get recognition, but the game itself is like an﷽ arcade game.
Roguelikes 🌼in general were meant to be played in quick bursts like those quarter munching machines from gaming’s past. It plays more than Hades of course, as should be obvious by the twin sticks.
7 Supe𓂃r Smash Bros. Melee Arcade By High Score Arcade
This was actually a photo taken from the located in Alameda, Calif♋ornia.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Smash Bros. Melee was created as its own distinc🔥t cabinet, as are the oth𓆉er two setups in the photo. The arcade is run by Shawn and Meg Livernoche so keep this place in mind if you're in the area.
6 Borderlan🐼ds 2 Arcade By Steve Hunt

Hunt is acꦰtually an indie developer himself so it goes without saying that he should know his way around programming something like this. In his blog breakdown, he details what went into his project.
While Borderlands 2 allows for up to four player𒁏s online, this arcade unit just has a two-player setup via split-screen with a built-in PC.
5 ♛ Cary42 By ꦕLove Hulten
, which is already a great na♚me, is a Swedish designer. He🌸 has made units like this for years now, namely selling them at high prices and in limited quantities.
This Cary42 briefcase setup has a hundred games installed and costs over $3000. He also only made fifty of them in 2017, which is to say they are still rare now. However, whilౠe this unit was two players, he still sells a one-player version for about the same price.
4 Cuphead Arcade By John Sellers 🔯
This arcade unit was made by who put up the whole process on his YouTube channel. It’s powered by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an Xbox One.
Cuphead is a game that can be enjoyed and even beaten alone, but it is much easier and or more fun with someone by your side. That’s why this arcade cabinet makes so much sense. The game’s play style lends itself nicely to this arcade setup as, like any classic arcade game, death is always around the c🐷orner.
3 Custom Gameju🌟nky Arcade Cabinet By Silverballjunkie
This un๊it was created by who uploaded the process on their YouTube channel.
Despite the theme of Sonic, it actually runs multiple emulators 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:besides Sega consoles. In fact, if you look closely, they can see the game being displayed is a PlayStation game underneath Sonic’s foot. Th🙈is is exactly the type of arcade setup you would want for multiplayer games like so many classic brawlers like Sega put out.
2 Diabloౠ III Arcade By Dave Niewinski
This arcade unit, created by , is both cool and a little disappointing. Diablo III is another game that lends itself easily to arcade setups as one can jump in﷽ and do a quest or two, or just wander around and kill monsters for fun. The artwork is also great.
The one issue is that it is set up as a PC, one-player unit. You can still get an online multiplayer ses𓂃sion going so it’s not a total loss, but at least a two-player setup would have been ♏cooler.
1 🌜 World’s Bi𓄧ggest Arcade By Jason Camberis
won the Guinness World Record for thi🧸s arcade monstrosity.
It is 14.5 feet tal꧟l and over 6 feet wide. It looks like it came off of the set of Tom Hank’s classic film, Big. It has two hundred fifty games installed inside of it so not only is not only tall but it's jam-packed with content.
Camberis r♔uns a website, Arcade Deluxe, where you could potentially order something like this, although probably not as big.
