Real arcade game machines are the difference between MGC Events and the other places. We don’t use emulation hardware or software. We don’t use games designed for home arcades like Arcade1Up, AtGames, ArcadePro, Dream Arcade, Polycade, or others.

Our games are real, original hardware (Printed Circuit Boards) the games ran on when they were in the arcades. Our Original Retro Arcade Games are still in actual arcade cabinets, just like they were in the arcades of the ’80s. The same goes for our rhythm and dance games. Our Multiplayer Retro Arcade Games are also on the original hardware (Printed Circuit Boards), but in smaller, easier to move cabinets we had handcrafted in the Milwaukee area.

Our Staff Stays for Your Event

We don’t just come and drop stuff off, we stick around! Arcade games require attention and so we always schedule staff to be on hand and nearby throughout the entire event. They won’t just drop off things and then disappear until it’s time to load them back on the truck. We want to make sure that everything you rent does what it’s supposed to do and so we schedule staff specifically for each event. Even when we have multiple events on the same day!

We know what it means to put on a show and create epic events. That same dedication is what we bring to every event we are a part of. We hold ourselves to extremely high standard which makes us a cut above the rest. That means we will do everything we can to ensure that our part in your event is the best it can be.
