The Arcade Gaming Experience of Your Dreams:

Our most popular upright arcade features a huge 40-inch HD arcade monitor (38.5” viewable), with support for 4-player games delivering endless fun right out of the box. Pre-installed with our custom Dream Arcades menu and over 300 licensed retro games, this machine brings the classic arcade experience straight into your home—Plug and play, no assembly required.

Key Features:

Trackball Icon Authentic Arcade Controls & 3” LED Trackball.
Genuine US-style, arcade-quality joysticks, for up to 4-players, with 3” LED trackball for an authentic gaming experience. Most bootleg arcades use Chinese-style lighted buttons with low-durability switches and connectors. Our lighted utility buttons allow for simple starting, exiting, and even saving your game. Plus, with our dual-input pinball buttons, you can play pinball machines with intuitive flipper control.

🛠 Commercial Quality and Ready to Play
No assembly needed—simply plug in your arcade and start enjoying your favorite games immediately through our exclusive menu software. Windows 11 is under the hood, allowing you to exit the menu to add PC games, connect to your home internet and more.

🖥️ Arcade Accurate Display
Enjoy a large LCD arcade monitor—great for playing games with any display format. Unlike bootleg arcades, our games are never stretched or cut off.

🎨 You Dream It, We Build It
No matter your style, we've got you covered. Personalize your arcade with custom artwork featuring a wear and fade-resistant overlay. Choose from numerous hardware upgrades like LED lighting, spinners, light guns, and more to create the arcade that matches your dreams.

Superior Build Quality

Hidden Keyboard Shelf with USB Hub - Our hidden keyboard shelf and integrated USB hub makes it simple to connect to your network, add games, or even plug in game controllers.


Durable Construction - Water-resistant, computer-routed Melamine MDF designed for durability and longevity with final assembly, customization & testing completed in Sacramento, CA, USA. Many of our machines have been providing arcade fun for 10, 15, or even 20 years.


Exclusive Hardware and Software - Dream Arcades is the only arcade builder using both custom software and custom electronics—all designed in-house. Our proprietary HID board is designed for lightning-fast, automatic reprogramming & ultra-responsive controls. Custom-configured PC components and even custom PCB relay boards for speaker and lighting control—exclusive to Dream Arcades.


Tempered Safety Glass - Up to 5 times harder to break than the standard glass used in most arcades. More importantly, if it does break, the small, less sharp pieces are much less dangerous than untreated glass.


Dual, Heavy-Duty Wheels - Our tilt-to-move system makes it easy to move your arcade when you want, but ensures it won’t wander even during rigorous game sessions.

  • I love my dream arcade! It is built like a tank and I can play all my favorite games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s! Very happy with my machine and my personal skin design. Lifetime warranty on controls too! That is the best!

  • We absolutely love our Dreamcade Vision 40! The cabinet and packaged games and hardware have been a blast for our family and friends. Especially love how easy it is to add additional games with a Wi-fi connection. Customer service and the technical team have been outstandingly responsive the few times we have had questions. I cannot recommend Dreamcade enough for anyone looking to add some retro gaming excitement to their home!

  • Purchased multiple Dreamcade Vision 40 arcades for our facilities on a naval base. The troops love them and they are easy to work with. Went with the full package for games and addons, and we couldn't be happier. Delivery was quick, as was setting up the arcade.

  • The entire process was great and the machine is amazing. I had custom graphics done and the artist was amazing and very accomodating. All the games from when I grew up and the ability to find others with ease. Delivery was a challenge as I wanted it on the second floor. Overall highly recommended.

  • I love the machine. It exceeded my expectations. I play the games almost daily and I love to be able to play from many platforms and it is so easy. The games are high quality and the cabinet looks great. I was 10 in 1985, so I remember those days at the arcade after school and I even skipped school a few times to play video games at the arcade. Thanks for helping me bring back those childhood memories and create new ones by myself, with my children and with friends.

  • I love my arcade system from you guys! I did look around before deciding on Dream Arcades, and I am SO GLAD I DID! Not only is the system perfect, you all have had so much patience with me as I get to know this machine. I am not a young person, you see. My kids grew up with games from the 80's on while I was busy being a MOM...but now it's my turn!

  • I'm in the process of ordering everything Ive always wanted in an arcade, and to this point, the service has exceeded my expextations. I've done alot of research into different arcade options and vendors. Dream Arcades was not the cheapest, but they are hands down the best in service and value. Highly recommend!

  • Ever since I was a little kid, I've always wanted an arcade. Michelle and her team was able to help me get the arcade of my dreams (40" model). As I was only two hours away from their shop, I paid a visit to their shop and they showed me everything about the machine and how it worked. I must say.....I can tell that their employees like what they do and what they sell because they were very enthusiastic. And thanks to Michelle for answering all of my pesky questions....always in the same day! I would definitely recommend Dream Arcades to all my friends! Everybody loves the arcade in our family room!

  • One of the best purchases I have ever made. If you want something that works smoothly and is easy to roubleshoot then this is your arcade system of choice. If you need support they are on it like white on rice. Mine worked perfectly from unboxing and I bug them with the tiniest little questions a lot and they always have a great answer! I interviewed many companies and then chose this one and shipped my arcade all the way across the United States. It was worth it. Also recommend the custom artwork, definitely worth the extra “coin” Pun intended

  • I love my Dreamarcade V-32 and if you want to take a step back in time and play some of the arcade games you grew up with this is the system to get!

  • The arcades are incredible, the machines work well with a great selection of LEGAL games, and the customer service has been very responsive. Expensive systems, but well worth it in my view.

  • Excellent customer service all the way from start to finish and even after you receive your product. Maria always stayed in touch with me every step of they way making the process incredibly easy. The front-end is using something similar to hyperspin from what I can tell however it works very well and is clean. What's even better is you have the ability to add more games using a lan or wifi connection directly to the cabinet. The buttons do have a nice clicky sound and are very responsive. Th
