What is the Tiny Arcade?

We’re old school arcade lovers here – there is nothing quite like the experience of playing a game on an arcade cabinet. We’ve created Tiny Arcade to let you experience that feeling anywhere, by shrinking an arcade cabinet to just a few inches tall.

Tiny Arcade DIY Kit lets you experience many retro type games which can be downloaded completely free from our site or any number of others that create games for the Tiny Arcade. You can also play videos on the Tiny Arcade at 30 FPS with audio.

Tiny Arcade DIY Kit is based around TinyCircuits, a modular Arduino compatible platform the size of a quarter which stack together like electronic LEGOs. There is an analog joystick and two push buttons for playing the games, a built in speaker for playing audio, a Lithium battery, built in USB for charging (and reprogramming), and a microSD expansion slot.

Even though the Tiny Arcade is built around the Arduino platform – don’t worry if you’re not a programmer, there is no need to download any special software or do any soldering with the Tiny Arcade, you can use it without any special knowledge.
