We undertake over 400 hundred hires a year and have been doing so for 25 years.

On many occasions we attend exhibitions and corporate event hires where we are not the sole games hire company being employed to provide games and entertainment items. Sometimes the other hire company provides high quality professional games. But all too often they provide embarrassing low quality games and entertainment items that should be nowhere near a corporate event, exhibition or your clients and guests.

Yes these are cheaper. But they are embarrassing.

We see Arcade Games that are very poor by comparison to our full size upright Arcade Games.

Part of the appeal of hiring an Arcade Game such as Pac Man, Street Fighter, Space Invaders, Defender etc is that it not only plays the game – but that it looks correct. When the games were released during the 80s and 90s the cabinets had a particular design and look for each game.

We are starting to see lots of the 1 Up arcade games, as seen below, being hired for corporate events. These can look ok in photos – but look ridiculous in the flesh.

Sometimes the hirer puts them on plinths to raise the height (see the pac man on the right in the picture below) – but they still look cheap and small.
