Home Arcade Machines in Chicago, IL
Home arcade cabinets in Chicago. Stern pinball, Dreamcade, Polycade, Skee-Ball. Live maker street, not a nostalgia number.
Chicago is arcade history with a postal code. Galloping Ghost and Logan Arcade taught the region what a real pinball sounds like. The home ticket is not a poster of that history. It is a crate. The Arcade Co puts Stern James Bond 007 Pro on this floor at $6,999, not a used-route listing we invented. Dreamcade Vision 32 at $3,999 list. Polycade Sente at $2,499. X-Arcade’s 73-inch American cabinet at $2,000 empty of games.
Winter delivery is cardboard and salt. Inspect on the truck. A pinball backbox in a Lincoln Park walk-up needs two people and a path that is not a spiral stair. Freight elevators in a Loop conversion help. A three-flat in Logan Square often does not. We ask. Polycade is parcel-class compared with a 400 lb upright. Still photograph the corners.
Licensed vs open vs empty is the Chicago conversation because this city knows the difference. Dreamcade ships 300+ licensed titles. Polycade is an open PC. X-Arcade currently ships the full-size cabinet without a game bundle. We will not load ROMs onto an empty cabinet and then take a software return.
Utah DBA. Mountain Time (one hour behind in summer). No Merchandise Mart booth. If you can receive at an Elk Grove dock, say so. Most rec-room tickets are liftgate to a driveway in the suburbs.
