It’s all in the name: an arcade so itty-bitty it fits in the palm of your hand. The Tiny Arcade by TinyCircuits puts the “fun” in “functional,” giving you a miniature that doesn’t just imitate a life-sized machine but performs like one too. Enjoy classic video games on this fully-functioning mini arcade wherever and whenever you want. Whether you are looking to recreate your childhood memories or make new ones, the Tiny Arcade is simple to build and simple to use.
In addition, watching videos or movies on your Tiny Arcade is simple, just use our TSVconverter-a free toolto convert any MP4 file. Just load the files on to a microSD card and enjoy hours of entertainment!

This miniature best fits a 1:24 scale for a working arcade cabinet, but please view the Tech Specs for the measurements to make your own decision on sizing.
There’s no soldering, no programming, and no glue required to assemble the Tiny Arcade. All you need is the package, the parts in it, and about ten minutes before you can sit back, relax, and get in a retro state-of-mind to play your arcade favorites.

Purchase a microSD card pre-loaded with all of the games available here.
The Tiny Arcade offers plenty of games out of the box, however, it is only as good as the games it supports. Being open-source and providing free and customizable content, we look forward to building a community of gamers who edit and develop their own games. Share your work, join in the fun, ask questions, and give design tips to others on the forum.
Love it, fun to assemble, easy to download games onto SDcard and great to play! If pressed for a criticism (and I would be pressed)... the cabinet could be a little less chunky and more in fitting to its scale? But hay, you can always make your own, I will be!
