Communication was good within 1-2 business days. Bought the VIP membership just didn’t like the process they use to limit what you can download at what time. I guess they have a lot of people trying... See more

Good product!
Good product!
Fully customizable, just take time to learn how file manager or the command line window work and you will feel rewarded.
I optimized duke nukem and doom to hd res, added impossible game to play such as shining force 3 scenario 2-3 english fan translated. Same goes for phantasy star generation 1 and 2 or dragon force 2 , grandia, policenauts, princess crown.
All playable in english when they were never released here...you get the idea
Extremely good experience!
I purchased several images about 1.5 weeks ago, and things went so well that I decided to go ahead and purchase one of the twenty-five VIP memberships that they were offering. On the first builds, I followed their instructions and downloaded the 1.5TB and 4TB images within 36 or so hours, which seems exceptional IMO. I had a couple of hiccups, but their email response time has typically been 1- 3 hours during the day, and they got me back on track quickly. I am extremely pleased and look forward to new builds when they are released!

Great Quality
I have bought stuff from this company for a few years now. And everything has worked great and if issues happen just send an email and they help you, it also helps to be patient they have lives too. I have bought 5 drives in the past from them and also online access. They have a lot to choose from and it’s worth it for the quality and service.
Best Retro Gaming Experience I've Had
Great layout and fast response time if you have questions. I had a few download speed issues and they quickly resolved them and followed up to make sure everything was working as intended. I've been scammed by others before but these guys are the real deal.
a solid site for retro content
not a bad company definate has the stuff needed

Very good product
Very good product, contact the company as I wanted to purchase more at the discount price that is still advertised on the website but told the offer has finished but 2 weeks on and no change to website
Sloppy, very dissatisfied.
Took forever to download the transfer of the files to the hardrive the game ran off a old version of launchbox that was not compatible with the updated version of launchbox. Lots of the emulators were outdated and non functional. Files were not seperated from roms such as bios, snaps, and images which were incomplete. Roms were labeled or misspelt wrong. Sloppy presentation altogether and for any noob would definitely not be user friendly out of the box. So like a car I scrapped it and used it for its parts.

I can't recommend Arcade Systems enough !!!
I can't recommend Arcade Systems enough! I recently bought one of their pre-configured hard drives, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. Everything was plug-and-play, no complicated setup—just straight into gaming. The selection of games is absolutely massive, covering everything from old-school classics to more obscure titles I hadn't played in years.
Customer service was top-notch too. I had a small issue getting something to run (totally my own fault), and they responded quickly and helped me sort it out without any hassle. It’s rare to find a company that actually cares about making sure their customers are happy, but these guys do.
If you’re into retro gaming and want a hassle-free way to play thousands of games, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back for more in the future!
Great Experience
Amazing product, I just wish there were instructions on how to set up multiple controllers to play multiplayer games.
Got a 18tb Batocera drive and it works PERFECTLY!
Got a 18tb Batocera pre config drive and it works absolutely flawlessly .. every single emulator just works and is pretty much 99% configured ... im serious you dont need to do anything but boot into it....i have not had 1 bad game file so far.. plug a controller and you are on your way!.. or use a keyboard and mouse with some games if thats your jam...or a racing wheel!...maybe you like a light gun experience? Ive used a wii remote and it works as intended so thats pretty much done to...its a fairly clean wheel setup to not much fluff in the main wheel ...im not very tech savy and even i could use this drive..i like the intros...music..themes..all of it...alot of work went inot all of these drives and it really does show on the user end....if you ever have a question do not be scared to send Scott a message i cant sing enough praises really
I've been waiting 2 months, EDIT they respnded.
I've been waiting 2 months, no response from anyone. If your importing this to US don't bother it'll probably get lost n no one on usps or Arcade will address it. If it ever actually arrives n I can edit the review maybe I'll bump it up but for now, bad. EDIT!! They have reached out to Me and said they would send a replacement. If all goes well I'll adjust this review accordingly. But they did reach out.
EDIT PART 3- the product arrived randomly. It's solid, after all the wait it's pretty good, tooons of games n hard to test em all. My favorite one I was looking forward too, Gun on GameCube, was unfortunately bugged n unplayable but other worked fine! What I tried at least. I'd recommend just based on sheer game amount but be weary of how long it could take.
