Do you miss your childhood days at the arcade? Perhaps you need a "Quarter Arcade" 1/4 scale replica arcade machine from the American collectible brand Numskull Designs to bring back those happy memories at home!
Many of us surely remember our childhood, laughing and playing with friends, then heading to the video game arcade. Whether it was a shop in an alley next to school, a small stationery store in the market, or a grand arcade in a department store, the arcade machines displayed within always captivated our young minds. From the games inside to the vibrant and eye-catching graphics on the machines themselves, every scene is deeply etched in our hearts.
As many players grew up, they dreamed of having their favorite childhood arcade machine in their living space. However, due to factors like size, not every player's home has the capacity for such an item. This has led to the emergence of many modified products based on arcade cabinet themes. For example, Numskull Designs' "Quarter Arcade" series of gaming products takes classic arcade machines from the 80s that everyone fondly remembers, such as 《Space Invaders》, 《Pac-Man》, and 《Bubble Bobble》, and scales them down to 1/4 proportion, making them decorative and playable items suitable for display.
Beyond their exterior, the internal components of these replica machines are also reproduced as faithfully as possible to the original actual machines. The illuminated marquee text, the internal screen with built-in games, the playable scaled-down joystick and buttons, and even details like the coin slot area are all recreated. With built-in LED lights, an LCD screen module, and a rechargeable lithium battery for power, everything is perfectly restored. Although it's just a 1/4 scale version, it reignites that desire to return to the joy of the past.
The latest two products themed around 《Space Invaders》 are currently available for pre-order, with an estimated delivery in July 2023.
