Cabinet Fever

Arcade management

Cabinet Fever is a PC arcade management game set in 1972. You start with a tiny corner unit, one cabinet and a bucket of quarters, then build the hall by buying, placing, rotating, moving and selling machines. Set each cabinet’s price to cheap, fair or premium, and keep an eye on rent, repairs and your reputation as patrons arrive and play.

Every cabinet is also a playable game. Click one and the camera moves into its screen; you control the game with the keyboard, and Enter starts a session. Eight cabinets also support mouse controls, including Air Hockey, Brick Bash, Gun Range and Whack-a-Mole. A single-player game, it works without an internet connection.
