At Game Works Creative, we are proud to be one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of retro arcade machines and custom branded arcade cabinets. Designed for both leisure venues and promotional use, our arcade systems combine the nostalgia of classic 1980s and 1990s gaming with modern reliability and full branding options.
Whether you want a classic upright cabinet, a sit-down cocktail arcade table, or a branded arcade coffee table, we create systems that not only deliver outstanding gameplay but also act as powerful promotional tools.
Our upright retro arcade machines are built in authentic arcade-style cabinets, complete with HD displays, illuminated joysticks and buttons, and custom light-up headers that recreate the atmosphere of the golden age of gaming. Preloaded with thousands of selectable classics, they are a perfect choice for gaming enthusiasts and a proven attraction at exhibitions, brand activations, and corporate events. For businesses and venues, they provide both entertainment and engagement, keeping visitors on your stand or in your space for longer.
For a more compact and stylish option, we also manufacture cocktail arcade machines and arcade coffee tables. These sit-down designs deliver the same retro gaming experience in a space-saving format, making them ideal for bars, offices, breakout spaces, and hospitality areas. With the option to brand panels directly or add custom CNC-cut graphics, cocktail tables can be tailored to reflect your campaign, company logo, or sponsor branding, turning them into interactive marketing assets as well as fun games.
As specialists in branded arcade machines for events, we work closely with companies to design cabinets that reflect their identity. Whether fully wrapped in your brand colours or featuring subtle logo placement, these machines serve as interactive brand ambassadors, attracting attention, encouraging participation, and leaving a lasting impression on audiences.
Every arcade system is also designed with transport and protection in mind. Supplied with road-ready, wheeled flight cases, our machines are easy to move, set up, and store safely, making them a practical choice for event hire companies, exhibition organisers, roadshows, and promotional tours.
Whether you’re looking to buy a retro arcade machine in the UK, invest in a branded arcade cabinet for a trade show, or add a cocktail arcade table to your venue, Game Works Creative offers quality, durability, and full customisation. Our arcade machines are more than just games — they are interactive experiences that bring nostalgia, fun, and brand impact to any setting.
Our arcade machines can be quickly and easily rebranded thanks to our optional branding panels which allow the machine to be completely re-branded with a replacement graphic in just a couple of minutes with the addition of just a few button cap fixings (allen key supplied).
We can supply replacement panels with full template packs and fast turn around thanks to our in house print and graphics department. Full details of replacement branding cost can be found in our arcade pricing here.
