Delivery & Assembly

Do you ship large Aarcade Machines Australia-wide and how?

Yes, we ship form Melbourne throughout Australia using express road freight. We use specialised heavy-goods couriers to ensure your machine arrives in showroom condition.

Full-Size & Bartops: These ship in custom-built wooden crates with metal-reinforced edges for ultimate protection.

Modular Systems: Items requiring minor assembly are shipped in heavy-duty padded cardboard boxes. All shipments utilise high-density foam to prevent transit damage. We offer convenient door-to-door delivery Australia-wide.

Do you offer Pickup

Yes! You are welcome to collect your machine directly from our warehouse in Clayton, Victoria. To ensure a smooth handover, please reach out to us in advance to schedule a time.

For larger items, you have two main options:

Ute or Van: The machine can be picked up in its original protective wooden skid box for maximum security.

SUV or Back Seat: If you’re arriving in a smaller vehicle, we can remove the wooden crate and provide protective wrapping instead.

Note: While we help ensure the unit is wrapped, please take extra care when loading and unloading to protect the machine's finish and components.

How much assembly is required?

We aim for "Plug & Play" simplicity across our range:

TV consoles: HDMI, power, turn on, connect any controllers and play - as easy as it gets.

Bartop Machines: Arrive 100% assembled. Just plug in and play.

Bartop with Stand: Requires only 4 bolts to lock the unit to the pedestal.

Lightgun Pedestals: These arrive in 3 pre-assembled modules. Setup is straightforward, requiring a total of 8 bolts and 9 colour-coded plugs to get you started.

Which machine size is right for me?

Choosing a machine comes down to your space and how you want to play. We focus on flexibility:

Bartops: A bartop (with or without a stand) delivers the same premium build quality and gameplay experience as a full cabinet, with the flexibility to move or reconfigure your room over the years.

Pedestals: A pedestal machine frees up floor space while delivering a full 4-player deck. Because it connects to an external screen, you have the ultimate flexibility to use whatever size TV you want—delivering a massive, cinematic experience tailored to your space.

Hardware & Components

What arcade components do you use?

All our arcade components have been vetted for reliability and are built to take a beating. Our joysticks and buttons use high-quality microswitches to provide that tactile "click" and the instant response time required for competitive fighting and reflex games.

What is the difference between a Pandora Box and an Alpha+/PC System?

Pandora Box: An all-in-one gameboard designed for pure "Plug & Play" simplicity. It offers a streamlined, menu-driven experience with thousands of games and no tweaking or adjustments required.

Alpha+/PC Systems: These utilise more powerful processors to handle demanding 3D titles and advanced accessories like Light Guns and Trackballs. While more expensive, the PC variant is usually more powerful with greater controller compatibility.

Gameplay & Features

How many games come pre-loaded?

Most of our machines are Plug & Play with 7,000+ Classic Games covering the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. This includes everything from Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Galaga, Moon Patrol, Street Fighter, Tekken, and much more.

Can I save my high scores and game progress?

Yes. Modern arcade boards like the Pandora Alpha+ include Save and Load State functionality, allowing you to pause a game and pick up exactly where you left off. Do keep in mind that while available on many titles due to emulation, this feature does not exist on 100% of games.

Warranty & Support

What kind of warranty is included?

All our machines come with a 12-month Australian Warranty. Because our machines are modular, if a button or joystick ever fails, we can usually ship a replacement part that clips right in—no need to send the whole machine back to us!

What happens if my warranty has expired?

Our relationship with our customers doesn't end at 12 months. Because our machines are built using modular, industry-standard arcade components, they are designed to be serviceable for a lifetime.

If your warranty has expired and you need a hand, don't stress:

Parts Support: We stock most replacement parts (joysticks, buttons, looms, and power supplies) right here in our Melbourne warehouse.

Expert Advice: Just reach out to us. Whether it’s a hardware question or you just need a bit of technical guidance, we’re here to help you keep your machine running for the long haul.

Built to Last: We don't believe in "disposable" electronics. We’ll always do our absolute best to find a solution for you, regardless of how long ago you bought your machine.
