Arcade Geeks Anmeldelser 

Listened to all my queries and gave me all the information required. Very helpful indeed.

My grandson was delighted with his mario vs sonic machine plenty of game to choose from, highly recommended, excellent customer service as we misplaced the key spoke to Rod who very kindly agreed to post us another one

I ordered 3 arcade units, in the form of 2 regular bar top units and 1 fullsize unit, when they arrived, very late I might add, 2 of the 3 units were faulty on arrival, this was reported as soon as possible but after many months talking with the company no resolution has been honoured.

faults such as the screen on one of the units kept blacking out every 10-40 seconds during gameplay, there was also another fault a unit was crashing in the main menu as well as one unit not even registering any games on arrival, requiring a new main board to be replaced, the build quality of these units is also shockingly bad internally, there were loose wires inside one of the units that had to be attached, and even the audio knob on the more expensive unit was missing on delivery.

This company claims to use premium parts and I even paid for the upgrades on the fullsize unit, but what was received was not premium, infact even the monitors used inside the cabinets are over a decade old PC monitors so could fail any year now, if a company is gonna build a customer an arcade machine, at least be transparent and say the parts are old.

After a lot of calls and emails, quite frankly to many to count, Arcade geeks offered spare parts and a partial refund to be processed by a set date, which was quite a insult after the sheer hassle of month of debating the faulty units, I now had to fix them, however I reluctantly agreed to the partial refund as I was fed up with the sheer time spent on this issue, however no refund was sent so even this they did not honor.

instead there company to this day proves unreliable and it just feels like I was scammed.

Great Arcade Machine
Bought this with the 10000 games pack, love the game’s selection, I’m a fan of 80s and 90s arcade games and Nintendo, which it has plenty of. Great experience of arcade geeks.

All I can say is Wow, from start of my order to delivery, the service has been one of the best services I’ve ever had, the arcade machine is stunning attention to detail has blown me away, the huge library of games is incredible, they play exactly how a I remember them, the only problem now, I am on here till gone past midnight 😂 I cannot recommend these guys enough, what u waiting for just do it !

I am delighted with my Space Invaders machine, the quality is excellent and the service from the team has been great. I did have a missing power cable but was able to use one from another item I had a home. As soon as I let the team know they expressed a replacement to me. Great service thank you!

My AG elite arrived in all its splendid artwork 4 weeks after ordering. I and my family are thoroughly enjoying playing on the machine. Many happy memories rekindled and shared with the kids. The look and feel of the machine is brilliant and the system is easy to use considering the number of platforms and games. Couldn’t recommend more if you are looking for an home arcade machine.

I purchased this for my brother. He loves the old arcade games and had found the one he really wanted. I ordered the wrong one and the seller was brilliant at making sure the order was amended. Due to personal circumstances we asked if the order could be despatched earlier. 48 hours later my brother received the arcade game and he’s over the moon with it. Brilliant piece of kit and would highly recommend 😊

There were some issues with the quoted deliver time, which when discussed with the representative, seemed to be outside of their control, a little frustrating non the less. However, to counter this I was offered upgrades on the machine I had ordered by way of compensation and the machine was delivered in person at 8pm the following day of this discussion, which was excellent customer service. From my experience, I believe the company intended to offer exceptional customer service and honoured this where possible.

Our new arcade machine was delivered on the due date and between the two hour time slot. Lovely looking machine with personalised graphics on the outside. Works perfectly from the off with 10000 games installed. I cannot fault it and my lad is so happy. Excellent customer service!! I would highly recommend if you're looking for a great gaming machine. Brilliant!!

I’ve now been waiting over 5 months for a replacement part after the Pandora box failed a few months after I purchased the machine. Every time I phone it’s another promise to send the part out, waiting a week or longer before the next call, rinse and repeat. The machine is still in warranty, the issue is the individual answering the calls (same guy every time) has no desire to help, is either incompetent or disingenuous. I’ve now resolved to find the part off eBay. Please consider this a warning dealing with this business.

Bought a machine from Arcade Geeks several years ago. Recently the machine was knocked over onto a hardfloor and stopped working. I took it back to Arcade Geeks who found the problem (a power cable had come loose from the fall) and fixed it for free. They even polished the machine to make it look like new.

Great service and a very well put together machine.

A friend of mine bought a second-hand two player arcade machine that had originally been supplied by Arcade Geeks.

My friend, who isn't technically minded, asked for my help regarding its operation as he wasn't sure how to set the machine up to record high scores in games.

I contacted Arcade Geeks on a Sunday afternoon, hoping to get a reply later in the week. In a little over an hour I'd received a reply from Rod at Arcade Geeks.

He needed more information than I'd originally given him in order to fully answer my question. Following a couple of emails back and forward I had all the information I needed to set my friend's machine up correctly.

This was amazing service all round, especially given that it was a Sunday and even more so that Rod was prepared to help someone who'd bought a second-hand machine, rather than directly from them.

UPDATED AT BOTTOM-

Good machine, not so good service!
I placed an order for the Elite machine (the most expensive version) - it's not a cheap item! My order was placed early June and I was told it would be 4-5 weeks. Almost 10 weeks later, after several chase-ups, and a delivery let-down, I finally got the machine. To be fair the machine is good, only my light gun isn't working. I asked for an instruction manual or PDF to sort the gun but was told to watch a video, which was hugely unhelpful. I was then promised a phone call from tech support and even agreed and arranged a time for this call, but they didn't call me. I waited over an hour for this call. I give up! At the time of writing this, my light gun STILL isn't working, I STILL haven't had this resolved, and now I've just given up on it. I really can't be bothered to deal with this company any more. So, I have spent a lot of money, waited ages, been let down, and ended up with a machine that I cannot make full use of. My exerience with this company has been terrible, especially considering the amount of money I have spent with them. I expect much better.

UPDATE

Credit where it's due, the after sales care has been very good but despite several attempts I have been left with a console where the gun is still not working and I've had enough of trying to sort it. It just doesn't feel worth the stress and I'm instead looking around to buy an alternative gun console. Very disappointed.

Slight delay in receiving arcade machine but was worth the wait. Fantastic machine, great quality cabinet, number of games included as standard is incredible.

An order was placed in error by my son who is autistic and when I contacted the company to inform them, they understood and agreed to cancel the order and provide a full refund.

The staff are very polite and helpful and I would highly recommend.

Ordered a machine 1st July, said 3-4 week delivery which was no problem. Received no updates or communication so asked for an update 3 weeks in, received a prompt email reply saying the unit would be delivery 30th July, all good so far.

30th July comes and I have no tracking information or update so I ring and was told DPD had lost multiple units and it would be remade. Seemed strange as my DPD app had no deliveries shown but mistakes happen. Arcade Geeks told me someone would call Friday afternoon with an update, no call comes so I chase again to be told it would be delivered Saturday.

Delivery now shows in the DPD app and 2 well packaged boxes arrive. Open both boxes to find the screen scratched, smack in the line of sight. There's nothing to join the base to the top, there's no instructions at all. I manage to find some bolts in my shed to bolt the base to the head and fire up the unit. Upon it loading its apparent the A button doesn't work as you can't select anything, so I unplug everything and have a look in the back to find a cable that hasn't been plugged onto the A button.

Email Arcade Geeks to tell them the various problems and suggest either returning the screen or we come to an agreement on keeping the damaged the screen for partial discount - Arcade Geeks ignore. I'm now left to opening a payment dispute, which Arcade Geeks have ignored as well. I don't mind some discount as the scratch doesn't bother the kids, it bothers me though as its damaged. I don't even mind if they send me a new screen and I'll fit it myself, doesn't look difficult but ignoring me entirely just results in frustration.

Such a shame as the unit itself is solid, well made and the games are brilliant, with that proper arcade feel from years gone. Everything loads quickly and is easy to play and it feels like it should last a long time. I hope it does last as I can't imagine the 5 year guarantee means anything as they'll probably just ignore you if anything does go wrong. If they'd just sort out customer service they'd be onto a winner, from other reviews it seems common that when something goes wrong, they don't reply or handle it badly.

Update 12th August - had a call from Joe, very apologetic and helpful, discussed arranging replacement parts for the damages, together with a nominal refund for the problems.

Great product, love the machine we chose, fully recommend.

Received our arcade within the time frame and well worth it. Great machine and great quality. Thank you!

Absolutely love it looks great in my bar and hours of fun with family
