Check out our new Guitar Hero and Light Gun dedicated cabinets. The Guitar Hero cabinet comes with the new, rad CRKD guitars and is made to look like an amplifier cabinet. The Light Gun cab come with dual Reaper light guns, nearly 200 gun games, and is setup with our awesome Advanced Recoil feature.
We’ve got these cabinets in stock, ready to ship!
Second Dinner game studios reached out to us for a custom arcade, and we came up with something special for their control panel. Inspired by the artwork they provided we made a DAY / NIGHT control panel using our large format UV printer. When the backlight is off and ambient room lighting is present, the control panel appears to have a DAY theme. When you darken the room and turn on the backlight, the graphic morphs into a NIGHT theme. Cool stuff! We mirrors the day / night theme on the side art too.
We did a custom machine for NACON, makers of really cool Playstation controllers. We integrated their Daija control stick into our control panel, and the cabinet can switch between Playstation and PC!

We’re thrilled to announce a new installation at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center in Columbus, GA, a set of custom arcade cabinets designed to make rocket science fun and interactive for visitors of all ages.
The museum shared their initial sketches, and our team transformed them into precise CAD models for fabrication. From there, we put every tool in our shop to work: large format UV printing, CNC milling, and vinyl finishing, to turn the concept into reality.
The result? A set of museum-quality exhibits that are as durable as they are visually striking. Each cabinet houses educational games about rocket building and Mars exploration, enhanced with RGB LED edge lighting, huge 50” monitors, and backlit plexiglass control panels. These glowing panels, printed in vivid detail on our UV printer, give the exhibits a bold and futuristic look while standing up to heavy use in a public space.
This project showcases what we do best: blending technical precision with immersive design to create custom museum exhibits, backlit displays, and interactive installations that engage, inspire, and endure. Whether your organization needs a single backlit plexiglass panel, a fully custom interactive display, or a large-scale museum installation, our team has the expertise and technology to bring your vision to life.

All lead times for custom orders have been significantly reduced. This is due to improvements in our production pipeline. You’ll also see more in-stock cabinets available in our store in the coming weeks featuring the most popular styles and designs.
Filling in the middle ground, the mid-tier PC keeps the desktop at 1080p but performs at high speeds on everything. For those who want performance without the Falcon PC price. The FALCON arcade machine models have now been upgraded from the Stock PC to the Mid-Tier PC to start, upgradable to the Falcon PC if desired. Comparison chart below!
Things have been flying here at the shop lately. We've been hard at work building a ton of new Falcon cabinets, and we’re excited to say we’re nearly to a point where we’ll have spare production time for our next big thing. Huge thanks to our amazing customers for your patience and support!
With production flow on track, we’re shifting gears to make things even easier: some of our most popular designs will soon be available in our webstore for immediate purchase and shipping. No more waiting in the queue, just click, order, and game on!
Behind the scenes, we’re also cooking up some seriously exciting projects for commercial clients. While we can't show everything just yet, we can tell you that we’re building some massive custom cabinets for a museum exhibit featuring science-based games., and custom FTL machines for multiple well known gaming companies. Stay tuned for a full reveal!
Whether you're a home gamer, business, or educational partner, there's never been a better time to get in touch. Big things are happening, and we’re just getting started.

THE BEST JUST GOT BETTER…
The FALCON 2.0 is now rolling out!
Completely retooled from the ground up. Falcon Colossus 2.0 features:
- Fully redesigned DIY-friendly assembly. Still all plywood construction and quality. This DIY design will be available as a kit, and this design reduces our production time and labor costs. It's seamless at the control panel now too, previous versions the control panel box was visible.
- New (again!) RGB LED molding. Finally serviceable without specially tools or skills. The two previous versions had visible single LEDs, required soldering, had durability issues in shipping and more. This design looks better than the others, is gorgeously diffuse, and can be easily replaced if damaged.
- Curved-front control panel box. Previous versions were flat-front and required some woodworking skills for assembly.
- Improved steering wheel integration in matching curved-front box. Swappable FFB/360 wheels.
- Storage drawer with cut foam insert for peripherals
- Quick draw gun holster integration.
Each one requires a handful of 3D printed parts for trims/fit and finish.
Check the ABOUT section for details on the RGB molding and steering wheel details.
Quick update on guns as we roll out the Falcon 2.0 machines. Going forward the ADVANCED LIGHT GUN will be the only light gun we use on the FTL and FALCON arcade cabinets. Most of our customers choose this optional upgrade anyway and they’re so much better than the older Aimtrak tech. So we’re making a switch. They’re a bit more expensive than the Aimtrak guns so there's some price changes to reflect that.
We’re also making these guns available as a standalone kit for DIY customers. You can get just the guns or add a PC for plug and play action.
Get ready to race! The VECTOR racing cabinet is here. We wanted a few things out of a multigame racer which we hadn’t seen before.
1.) Dynamic buttons for PIN codes, VIEW buttons and navigation
2.) An easy way to see the controls during the game on a per=game basis
3.) A cockpit option with the smallest footprint possible
4.) Easy LAN linking for 2+ player games
I’m happy to report we achieved these things with this new cabinet. Details below!

Back in May we had a small tornado tear the roof off the shop. Since then we’ve moved into a larger facility and brought in more production equipment to improve and expand our products - one of which is the VECTOR racing cabinet. Improvements to the FALCON machine and more products coming soon!
