“Two players. One steel deck. The big TV. The arcade nights you remember are back on in the lounge room, with no coins and no queue.”
76cm of Steel.
Room for Two.
Most fight sticks squeeze two players into a space built for one. The XL is 76cm wide, 12cm wider than a standard Pandora Box deck, so you and your opponent get real elbow room while still sitting side by side, close enough for a friendly nudge as you battle it out. It sits low on a stepped steel base and stays put when the button-mashing starts.
It’s built to our specifications, not pulled off a shelf, and finished with thick custom faceplate artwork. One cable to the TV, one to the wall, and you’re playing in about a minute. When game night’s over, it slides into a cupboard.

Arcade Feel.
Built to Upgrade.
Quality 8-way joysticks that feel and play like the real deal, with arcade buttons and lit direction arrows for both players. Parts are standard size and Sanwa-compatible, so you can upgrade sticks or swap bat tops later.
Arcade Classics.
Console Favourites.
As a guide, the Pandora Box XL is capable of playing the consoles and games listed below. Which consoles and games are included can vary over time.
The fighters, shooters and racers from the arcade, plus the home consoles you grew up with, all built in. Find a game by typing a single word, build your own favourites list, or browse by category. Classic games keep their original 4:3 shape, so most titles will not look stretched, even on a 75″ TV. Around 113 games support four players and 103 work with light guns. Save your progress on supported games and pick up where you left off.

the console is awesome with heaps of games . good selection of games hours of fun for my son and i. Owner Paul is super responsive and helpful to all my queries
Has most of the games I played as a kid very happy with this purchase
I'm so glad I chose to buy the King TV Plugin XL Retro Arcade Deck from Electro Arcade. I had some support questions after receiving the item, which were promptly answered. Now I've had it for a month and couldn't be happier with my decision. I look forward to a future purchase. Thanks again Electro Arcade
Have had this now for a couple of weeks now, been having a blast reliving old memories of the arcades. Even finally been able to beat a few games I never was able to aa a kid. Will have to contact the guys at ElectroArcade to work out to change the joysticks from 8-way to 4-way though. Contained instructions would have been helpful, but apart from that it's a great product.
