The Retro-Cade 2-Player Classic. Where American craftsmanship meets an endless arcade gaming library.
Every cabinet is CNC-cut and hand-assembled in Airville, Pennsylvania, built from premium 9-ply birch plywood and finished with your choice of 40+ UV-printed artwork themes.
This is not an off-the-shelf import. It's a bespoke, made-to-order arcade experience built the way it was meant to be.
Designed for retro gaming enthusiasts who refuse to settle for a cheap imitation, the 2-Player Classic brings the authentic feel of the golden age of arcades directly into your home game room.
About Retro-Cade
Retro-Cade has been handcrafting full-size arcade cabinets right here in the United States, out of their Airville, Pennsylvania workshop. What sets them apart is simple: every cabinet is CNC-precision cut, assembled in-house, and pre-tested before it ever ships.
Retro-Cade builds with 9-ply laminated birch plywood and UV-printed artwork that won't peel, bubble, or fade. Owning a Retro-Cade cabinet means owning a piece of genuine American arcade craftsmanship. Built to last decades, not seasons.
Up to 100,000 Games: The Arcade Library You've Always Dreamed Of
Through their exclusive partnership with Arcade-One, Retro-Cade offers game libraries spanning 30,000, 70,000, or up to an incredible 100,000 titles. Covering decades of classic and modern arcade, console, and retro gaming.
From Pac-Man and Galaga to Street Fighter, Mario Kart, and thousands of titles in between, the depth of this library is genuinely staggering.
And it doesn't stop at delivery. Retro-Cade accepts custom game requests and provides ongoing software updates, so your library keeps growing. It's not just a cabinet, it's a living, evolving arcade that gets better over time.
Authentic Arcade Controls: Sanwa Joysticks & 3-Inch Trackball
At the heart of every great arcade experience is how it feels in your hands. The 2-Player Classic comes standard with Sanwa arcade-grade joysticks. It's the same brand trusted by competitive fighting game players worldwide. With switchable 8-way to 4-way functionality to match whatever game you're playing.
A 3-inch trackball rounds out the control panel, making titles like Centipede, Golden Tee, and Marble Madness feel exactly as they should.
Every button color, joystick color, and T-molding finish is customizable, so the controls are an extension of your personal style. This level of input authenticity is what separates a real arcade cabinet from a living room toy.
Built Tough: 9-Ply Birch Plywood, Not MDF
The cabinet is constructed from 9-ply, 3/4-inch laminated birch plywood. That's a material choice that matters enormously for longevity.
Unlike the MDF used in cheaper cabinets, birch plywood resists warping, humidity, and impact, meaning this machine will stand strong in your game room for years without losing structural integrity.
At approximately 150 lbs, the 2-Player Classic has the satisfying heft of a real arcade machine.
Every panel is CNC-cut for precision fit, then assembled in-house by Retro-Cade's own team. The result is a cabinet that feels as solid as it looks.
Stunning UV-Printed Artwork: 40+ Themes
Retro-Cade offers over 40 artwork themes, UV-printed directly onto the cabinet panels. They are not applied as vinyl wraps that peel and bubble over time.
UV printing delivers crisp, vivid colors that are fused permanently into the surface, holding their brilliance through years of play. Choose from classic arcade-inspired themes, pop culture designs, and more.
The LED backlit marquee crowns the cabinet and ties the whole visual package together, glowing with the same iconic energy as the arcades of the 1980s. Your cabinet will be a statement piece the moment it arrives in the room.
32-Inch 1080p Screen: Crystal-Clear Visuals for Every Era of Gaming
A 32-inch, 1080p full HD monitor sits at the center of the experience, delivering sharp, vibrant visuals for games spanning five decades of gaming history. This screen will keep everything looking fresh, no matter if you're playing pixel-perfect 8-bit sprites or more visually demanding titles from the modern era.
The large display gives two players plenty of visual real estate without crowding, making side-by-side play as comfortable as it is competitive. This is the perfect balance between classic arcade feel and modern display technology.
Fully Customizable Add-Ons for the Ultimate Setup
The 2-Player Classic is designed to be as personalized as you want it to be. Optional accessories include an Ultimarc spinner for racing and shooting games, Retro Shooter light guns for two-player shooter titles, and controller support for Xbox 360, Xbox One, or Wii, expanding gameplay possibilities well beyond the standard arcade format.
Build your ideal cabinet from the ground up: choose your artwork, your computer tier, your button and joystick colors, your T-molding, and your accessories. No two Retro-Cade cabinets are exactly alike, and that's entirely the point.
Backed by American-Made Quality and a Lifetime Warranty on Controls
Retro-Cade stands behind their work with a 1-year hardware warranty and a lifetime warranty on joysticks and buttons. That's a level of confidence you only see from manufacturers who know exactly what they're building. Every cabinet is pre-tested before it ships, so you're not troubleshooting on delivery day.
Ongoing remote software support means you'll never be left without help if a question comes up after setup. From the moment you order to years down the road, Retro-Cade is in your corner.

Assembly
Assembling the Retro-Cade 2-Player Classic is a straightforward process designed to get you playing as quickly as possible.
The cabinet ships flat-pack but arrives pre-tested by the Retro-Cade team in Pennsylvania, meaning all electronics, controls, and software have been verified before the machine ever leaves the workshop. Once your cabinet arrives, setup is described as close to plug-and-play. Connect the monitor, secure the panels, and power on.
Having a second person available to assist with lifting and positioning the cabinet is recommended given its size and weight of approximately 150 lbs. If any questions arise during setup or after, Retro-Cade's remote software support team is available to walk you through everything. Full instructions are included with your shipment.
