About the Retro Arcade Memory Game

The glow of a CRT, a pocket full of coins and your three-letter name at the top of the leaderboard. Our retro arcade deck is a love letter to the golden age of video games — ghosts, invaders, joysticks and cherry bonuses included.

Fun Facts About Retro Arcade

  • Pong (1972) was the first commercially successful video game.
  • Space Invaders (1978) was so popular in Japan that it is often blamed — probably apocryphally — for a coin shortage.
  • Pac-Man's designer said the character's shape was inspired by a pizza with a slice missing.
  • At its 1982 peak, the American arcade industry made more money than Hollywood and pop music combined.

How to Play

Tap any card to flip it over, revealing the arcade token image underneath. Tap a second card — if the two match, they stay face up and you keep going. If not, they flip back after a moment. Your goal is to match every pair in as few moves as possible.

Three difficulty levels are available: easy (6 pairs), medium (8 pairs) and hard (12 pairs). Start on easy if you're new, or jump straight to hard for a proper brain workout.
