About Cabinet Fever

Every cabinet is a real game

It is 1972 and you rent a tiny corner unit with one cabinet and a bucket of quarters. Every machine you add earns money, and every machine is a real, playable game: click a cabinet and the camera dives into its screen, and you play it for real.

Run the arcade

•
Buy, place, rotate, move and sell cabinets, and set the price of every play: cheap, fair or premium
•
Keep machines serviced and upgraded: a broken cabinet earns nothing
•
Hire an Attendant, a Cleaner, a Mechanic, Security and a Manager
•
Decorate the hall with plants, neon, bulbs, carpet, a mirror ball, a mezzanine and more
•
Run promotions, pay the rent every week, protect your reputation and watch the crowd come in
•
Patrons walk in, feed a coin and really play the machines you chose

Grow through the years

•
Four halls: the Corner Nook, the Strip-Mall Arcade, the Boardwalk Palace and the Neon Megaplex
•
Thirty levels, one for each year from 1972 to 1998: earn the XP and finish the list of upgrades, decor, staff, promotions and medals to move up
•
The world is dressed for the year: cars, clothes, colour grade and music change with the decades
•
Your arcade keeps earning while you are away, up to a limit: come back to coins waiting in the cash boxes

Controls

Mouse to build, place and manage the hall (hotkeys B, V, G, P and H open the shop, decor, staff, promotions and halls). The keyboard plays the machines: each cabinet shows its own controls and Enter starts a game. Eight machines (PING, AIR HOCKEY, BRICK BASH, BUG BLASTER, GUN RANGE, SKEE ROLL, SKY GUARD and WHACK-A-MOLE) can also be played with the mouse. A single-player game that plays without an internet connection.
