Everyone loves arcade machines, but many people simply don’t have the space in their homes – or the money in their wallets – to dedicate to a full-size machine. If so, it’s worth checking out the long list of mini arcades up for grabs. These are designed from the start until fits desktops and counters– some of which are only a few inches tall and all of which are more affordable than full-size cabinets. They make great holiday gifts for retro gaming fans, but they’re also nice to have in your own office as a display piece (or as a way to take a break from your work).

Regardless, there are plenty of mini arcades available. Some even go on sale before Black Friday, giving you the chance to cross people off your shopping list before the busy holiday season. From Tiny Arcades to Arcade1Up, here’s a look at the best mini arcades.

Small arches

These little arcades take up virtually no space, with microscopic 3.5-inch screens that can fit on even the most cluttered desk. Despite their small size, they are functional machines. THE Atari2600 The model is particularly attractive, as it comes with a small TV stand, an Atari console and an Atari joystick. Better yet, it supports 10 games such as Pac-Man and Breakout. THE Pac-Man The edition is also quite stylish, thanks to a bright yellow design with retro graphics.

My Arcade

These models are slightly larger than the Tiny Arcades above, some of which are designed with larger joysticks for better playability. This is particularly true for the Galaga controller player. It lets you play Galaga and Galaxian on a 3.2-inch color screen, but has a larger joystick that should make it more comfortable for extended gaming sessions. You will also find Micro Players to win, similar in size to Tiny Arcades.

Neo Geo Mini

Are you looking for a mini arcade full of games? So check out the Neo Geo Mini cabinet handle up for grabs. A popular choice is the International version Neo Geo Miniwhich offers 40 pre-installed games (such as The King of Fighters and Metal Slug). Consider moving up a gear International version + gamepad edition to get a full-size gamepad for more comfortable controls. Additionally, you can purchase the standalone software 8BitDo Neo Geo Wireless Controllerbecause it not only works with the Neo Geo Mini, but also with PC and Android.
