About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

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!

Build Your Arcade Empire

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.

Manage a Growing Business

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.

Customize Your Neon Haven

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.

Keep Every Machine Running

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!

Key Features

Build Your Arcade Empire Expand from a small shop into a massive entertainment center by unlocking 10 distinct rooms.

Over 25 Unique Machines & Attractions Build your dream venue with 28 distinct types of entertainment, ranging from classic Arcade Cabinets, Pinball, and Whack-A-Mole to high-end Plane Simulators, Go-Karts, and 8D Cinemas

Service & Repair Machines wear down with use. Keep them serviced and repaired, mop the floors, and collect the tokens to keep your arcade profitable.

Deep Economy Management Navigate a complex financial system with 4 token types, hourly income tracking, and multi-tier bank loans.

Automate with Staff Hire and manage cashiers, cafeteria workers, repairmen, cleaners, and token collectors to keep your business running smoothly.
