Product Information

Collector’s COA; a certificate of authenticity showing the numbered rarity and its official association with creator Tomohiro Nishikado and Taito High-quality Replica Arcade: Measuring one quarter of the size of the original PAC-MAN retro arcade machine, this is one of the most high-quality mini arcade machines available on the market. Featuring original PAC-MAN artwork, real premium high-quality wood, and premium metal details. I don’t think we could ever build an arcade without Space Invadersas part of the range. It was the machine that started the gaming revolution. Only no, because the Space Invadershardware was bonkers. And now the Space Invaders Quarter Arcade is bonkers in miniature. Doubtless pedants will gripe – “The coin door should have been in a different shade of metal!” – but to me this cab feels wonderful. It’s like the original in a way no emulated take or remake I’ve ever played is.

Authenticity is our first priority and we achieve this by capturing as many layers of detail from the original machines as possible,” Prychak adds. He’s not kidding — the most recent RepliCade, Dragon’s Lair, is based on the iconic 1983 LaserDisc game, which featured Disney-style animation in place of raster or vector graphics. Suitably, it not only includes the original game’s cabinet art, control layout and secondary scoreboards, but also a replica LaserDisc player within a rear storage drawer, a replica LaserDisc to put inside it and an impossibly small replica remote.Have to say though, I love the IDEA of having a 'proper' (albeit I suspect very emulated) arcade machine, though I think the novelty would wear off, and I simply don't have the space! But before you do that, you should be aware of two limited editions, signed by Tomohiro Nishikado. 78 original cabinet replicas and 79 Part II cabinet replicas have been signed by the gaming legend. These boast: Numskull Designs is incredibly proud to team up with Taito for the eighth instalment in its Quarter Arcades range! One of the world’s most recognisable, iconic arcade games, and our most-requested addition by fans, Bubble Bobble stars the Bubble Dragons in their quests to complete the 100 levels of the Cave of Monsters and save their girlfriends. As well as being one of the first games to feature multiple endings, Bubble Bobble is amazingly fun in both single-player and co-op mode.

Space Invaders Quarter Arcade is available from Numskull. A unit was provided for review. But I’d have bought one if it hadn’t been. Five invaders out of five rating. Etc. These fully-playable, highly detailed arcade cabs are identical to the original in every aspect, the only difference is they will easily fit into your home or office!Such a development will enhance our reputation for a great food offering and play a role in ensuring that Cardiff’s Purple Flag accreditation, which requires a need to demonstrate we have a vibrant, quality offering in the evening and night time economy, is met,” he said. With this development, we have a unique opportunity to create new contemporary leisure spaces, regenerating derelict spaces and ensuring a bright future for one of our charming and characterful arcades. Artwork is redrawn by hand, based on the original cab art, and the machines are then 3D modelled in-house by our incredible design team. It’s a long process, but worth it when we end up with the most accurate replica arcade machines you can buy.

Play your own way – internal dip switch settings let you play however you want, with various modes availableStephen Barker, co-founder of premium destinations Coffee Barker, Rum & Fizz, Barker Tea house and Gin & Juice, is supporting the development team. He said:

Every Quarter Arcade is about capturing a piece of gaming history. We are as true to the original machines as possible. The main reason is the original cabinet uses the Pepper’s ghost effecttechnique. The game is reflected from a screen at the bottom on to a mirror, making the invaders look like they’re floating in front of a giant glowing moon. If you’ve ever wanted your own arcade but don’t have the real estate, small scale replica machines are an option. And what better way to start your collection than with a Quarter Arcade Space Invaders miniature cab? I have the little My Arcade Galaga where I followed some instructions to make it play a bunch of the other games too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU11npoA-UY - but it's a novelty and little more. On freeing the cab from its box, a wave of nostalgia washed over me. It looked the part, with the original – and still gorgeous – cabinet artwork beautifully recreated. The dinky controls were present and correct, alongside instructions rendered in tiny text I was happy to discover I could read. (Take that, optician!) That was all nice. This would look great on a shelf. But everything changed when I turned the Quarter Arcade on.Official Taito products – ¼ scale playable replicas of the original Space Invaders& Space Invaders Part II arcade cabinets – We are absolutely supportive of this development and completely aligned with the landlord’s amazing vision and sensitive and cultured approach. This project represents a tremendous opportunity for Cardiff to step up to the next level with depth and refinement, for the people of Wales and all who visit our capital city,” he said.
