Answers to common questions about handcrafted arcade machines, shipping, build quality, and authentic home arcade gaming.
Who are you?
I’m an electronic engineer and lifelong arcade enthusiast. Since 1985, I’ve been restoring, designing, and handcrafting arcade systems including JAMMA, SEGA, CAPCOM, NEO-GEO, and MAME platforms.
What do you build?
I build handcrafted custom arcade machines for home use — including bartop arcades, vertical cabinets, mini arcade machines, and retro gaming systems for TVs.
What makes Tiny Arcade Machines different?
Every machine is handcrafted individually using premium materials and carefully tested before shipping. I work independently and build one project at a time with a focus on authenticity, reliability, and long-term support.
Where are the machines built?
Tiny Arcade Machines was founded in the UK arcade scene in 1985. Today, every machine is handcrafted in Spain and shipped worldwide.
Do you ship to the USA and worldwide?
Yes. Every arcade machine is securely packed, fully tested before shipping, and delivered to the USA, UK, Europe, and worldwide with tracking and insurance.
How long does it take to build a machine?
Because every arcade machine is handcrafted to order, build times usually range from 3–6 weeks depending on the model and current queue.
What makes a premium arcade machine different from a cheaper one?
Premium arcade machines usually offer better build quality, more reliable components, improved controls, and a more authentic gameplay experience.
I also wrote an article explaining why some home arcade machines feel cheap and what creates a truly authentic arcade experience.
