Retro 80's Arcade Video Games for your Man Cave / Office
“Where we going we don’t need roads 20c“
Are you ready to take a trip back in time?
Back to when TV meant only 1 channel with shows like Haasdaas, Wielie Walie, The A-Team, Knight Rider, Airwolf and Magnum PI.
Remember Atari, Nintendo & Sega, Rubik’s Cubes, Cassettes & VHS, Rick Astley & Madonna, Stone Washed Denim and Mullet Hairstyles?
Back to the Year: 1980 Something…
Time: Just after school
Destination: The corner shop where you played your favourite video game.
The R-Kade Time Machine features 10 000 video games all crammed into an authentic 2-player 80’s style cabinet offering a gaming experience so addictive it should come with a health warning!!!
4 decades of gaming titles, everything from the classic arcade games and popular home game consoles, 8bit through to the more modern 64bit games are displayed on a massive 32-inch high-resolution industrial LED monitor, protected by a high impact tinted Plexiglas™ protection screen. The R-Kade also boasts genuine arcade-spec buttons and joysticks for maximum authenticity and reliability.

Arcade classics cannot compare technically or visually to today’s home gaming consoles. However when it comes to gameplay and longevity, the R-Kade classics though simpler, are infinitely superior. It’s no wonder that games like Double Dragon and Rygar are just as popular today as they were when first released some 35 years ago.
Though the compilation of games has a distinct retro theme, internally the R-Kade is anything but retro, powered by the latest technology and PCB architecture, intelligent software identifies and automatically rotate vertical games to horizontal format displaying them in full resolution for that authentic arcade experience.
Each Time Machine is ‘built to order’ allowing for optional custom on-screen branding, making an already unique product a custom 1 of a kind conversation piece echoing your company’s image.
10 000 games list features classic home game consoles such as:
If you’re considering purchasing a retro game console in SA, you’re definitely going to come across the PANDORAS BOX range of consoles.
the PANDORAS BOX is a cheap Chinese-made game board used in most SA arcade video game machines and fight sticks.
While it may boast 3000 games, the vast majority are duplicates, just different versions of the exact same game and the genre is predominantly fighter games.
You will find dozens of Chinese card games such as Mahjong etc. along with a large number of unplayable games as well.
However, the games you will like will be displayed in the incorrect aspect ratio and resolution, resulting in overly stretched images with the top and bottoms cut out.
Screen tearing is common in side-scrolling games like WonderBoy and Mario.
Lastly, game images are displayed smooth like modern-day mobile phone games and are not pixelated like authentic arcade games of the 80’s.
We think we’ve succeeded in re-creating an authentic 80’s arcade experience, with the original arcade cabinet & the ultimate retro game collection.
However we admit it lacks the finer traits such as names carved on the side, an old Greek shopkeeper constantly asking you if you going to buy something and most importantly your parents finding you and forbidding you from returning there.
GETTING OLD IS INEVITABLE – GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL!

The statement above from GAME OVER’s brand ambassador Sir Richard Branson echo’s our Value Proposition: “Freeing the kid inside – 1 game at a time“
We are a game dev company specialising in ARCADE video game development.
Our flagship product the R-Kade Time Machine featuring 10 000 all-time classic retro arcade games is supplied to Corporate Chill Lounges and Home Game Rooms / Mancaves.
GAME OVER is the first port of call for event and marketing companies, interior designers and film & television production houses.
GAME OVER is now a dedicated online company.
We subscribe to TOYOTA’S ‘Just In Time’ principles: To make only What is needed, When needed, in the Amount needed. This improves our process efficiency by eliminating waste such as warehousing, cost of storing inventory and transportation from factory to retail. Supplying directly from factory to client enables us to pass the saving in-between on to you.
JIT = online company = no expensive office, showroom & warehouse = significant saving = saving passed onto customer.
Since GAME OVER’s inception in 2004 we have 100’s of satisfied corporate and private clients on our books the majority of whom were acquired through unsolicited referrals from previous clients. This is a testament to our quality of product and high service levels.
Our target market is the almost 40 year old guy who grew up in the 80’s playing arcade video games 20c a time at the neighbourhood corner shop.
He’s got the entire DVD series collection of the A-Team, Knight Rider and most other TV classics he grew up watching. He’s downloaded the entire ‘Best of the 80’s’ & ‘That’s What I Call Music’ series to his iPod.
But the final piece of the 80’s puzzle is the corner shop video game experience that until now was unavailable.
He may be the CEO/Director of his own company or the CFO/Manager of one of the big corporates. He wants to relive the carefree schooldays of his youth and wants to share his halcyon days with both his mates and his kids whom he knows will never share his priceless 80’s gaming experience through their PS3, Xbox, iPad or Mobiles.
He orders an R-Kade Time Machine for either his home game room / man cave or for his company’s chill lounge, improving company culture and encouraging ‘play’ at work with daily mini team-building just by playing video games: Boss vs. employee in Street Fighter… PRICELESS!!
