Wedding and other events

Retro arcade machines are a great addition to any social event, whether its a wedding reception, house party or corporate event.

What makes it so special

Retro games from the 80s are a big talking point, resurrecting some great memories for many people. The beauty of the games is, they don't tend to too long to play each game, 3 to 4 minutes per game is what most people will achieve, so everyone will get their turn. However, they are so addictive, you'll have people queueing up to try and get their initials on the high score table. The best thing about retro  games is, concentration levels don't need to be what they are on today's games like Fortnight, users are not emerged in the games so much they can't talk! Our cocktail tables help promote interactivity with each other, they create a great talking point, but they allow people to gather around and socialise at the same time.

Forget those over complicated game pads today's generation are using on their Xbox's and PS4's, our machines are classic, clean and above all, easy to use, even for the most novice gamer. Some games such as Pac-man only use the joystick and don't require the use of buttons at all, whilst Track & Field doesn't need the joystick, using only the buttons to run and and jump.

Our offering

Our standard cocktail tables can be set up with virtually any game you like, however, we recommend sticking to the main classics such as Pac-man, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, etc. Take a look at our classic games list for more insight, but essentially, if you can remember the game, we can supply it.

Download our classic game list

All our machines are 'free play', which means your guests don't need a pocket full of 50 pence pieces. Because their is no charge to play the game, no gaming licence is required.

If you like, we can supply machines with more than one game and show you how to load up the other games. It only takes a few moments to return to the game list, select a new game and start playing again. Whilst we could supply literally hundreds of games, we advice customers to keep this to an absolute minimum. You only have so much time at your party or event, you really don't want to spend that time scrolling through a huge list of games!!

Delivery and set up

We'll need you (or a designated person in your party) to sign for delivery at your event, but other than that, you have no worries. We'll not just deliver the machine(s) to the designated room, we'll set them up and fully test prior to leaving. You'll already have a guide to help if something goes wrong, but realistically, the worst we expect is, someone turns the power off.

Safety first

All our tables are fitted with EU rated toughened glass, so no need to worry about bottles, cans or pint glasses being placed on them, although we would prefer you use our included beer mats!

Obviously electricity is required and whilst you'll need to ensure we have access to a power outlet, we can ensure cables are are not left trailing. All our equipment is fully certified PAT tested (Portable Appliance Testing).

Prices

Our prices for hiring are the cheapest you will find and they get cheaper the more you hire. However, there are many factors we need to understand before we quote a cost, but to give you an idea, if all the factors are right, it's possible to hire a machine for up to 48 hours for £100

Refundable deposit

We leave our machines with you and expect a certain level of responsibility to be taken by you. To ensure our machines are not abused, we need to take a refundable deposit. All refunds are done by back transfer 24 hours after receiving our equipment back to enable a full check to be completed. Don't worry, we understand accidents happen and whilst you may need to take some responsibly for some damage, we would only ever charge you for repair and refund the rest of your deposit.
