### 4/5 — Very good game(s), although—

*2026-08-19, version 1.12*

I love all the games on this—especially my Dig Dug, it’s my jam! But the buttons are a little hard to use, and if you are too loose with your control over it, it could mess up. Not like the real arcade exactly—but it’s like the arcade game—if you know what I mean.

### 3/5 — Sorta good

*2026-08-15, version 1.12*

I like the games but it will not let me play haunted castle

### 3/5 — good emulation

*2026-08-14, version 1.12*

Lacking some features but a good start , the space invaders for example should have the mirror background of the original not black, the CRT look on a Mac looks awful and blown out highlights, and many more games need to be added, its a good start, but Mame is still the better option at this point

### 3/5 — Galaga seems off

*2026-08-05, version 1.12*

When playing Galaga there seems to be a slight delay from when you press the fire button to when your ship actually fires

### 4/5 — Leider nur 4 Sterne

*2026-07-26*

Tolle Games. Aber in Frogger gibts wohl ein Bug.
Man kommt einfach nicht ans andere Ufer. Wenn man auf den Rasen springt fällt man trotzdem ins Wasser.
Ausserdem ist die Kollisionsabfrage ziemlich ungenau.

### 5/5 — Greatness

*2026-07-23, version 1.12*

Solid mechanics with the vintage look, design, and feel. Controller support would be very beneficial to a lot kids that can get into the retro gaming scene. And their parents can be interactive with them with that nostalgic experience they once had

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2026-07-21, version 1.12*

Brings back all the great nostalgia of my childhood.

### 2/5 — Flawed

*2026-07-18, version 1.12*

Looks and sounds good but the laggy controls makes this largely unplayable.

### 5/5 — Really good

*2026-07-17, version 1.12*

This game is great it has all my favorite arcade games but can you add Mrs. Pac-Man Speed up.

### 5/5 — This is good

*2026-07-16, version 1.12*

Every thing is good just on pac man 1 life goes away

### 5/5 — KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

*2026-07-15, version 1.12*

BEST GAME MY LIFE GNG

### 3/5 — Okay, but not Great

*2026-07-14, version 1.12*

Love playing these games they bring back a lot of memories. This app does make my phone run hotter than other games. The controls are also laggy, especially for pacman, digdug and frogger. I know its not a responsive arcade joystick like the good ole days, but theres gotta be a way to make the games more responsive

### 5/5 — Good games but….

*2026-07-12, version 1.12*

I think it’s missing something’s like Mindway games like Defender or Robotron 2084 or something like that and maybe Donkey Kong but is good

### 2/5 — Retrocade? More like “Blackrocade.”

*2026-07-12, version 1.12*

When I get into a non-mission game, I experience a black screen. I can’t fix it… Oh wait! All I have to do close it out… uh oh, another black screen.

### 4/5 — Good...but

*2026-07-10, version 1.12*

The game has most of the class games from when I was growing up but it is missing a couple of good ones like donkey kong or Tetris

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS SO MUCH TOP GAME OF ALL

*2026-07-09, version 1.12*

bro, I just want to say, what a epic and rad game! This should be very popular, especially for video game fans like me. I like pac man and other games too, so I got pac man 264 but, it just wasn’t working out for me. But when I saw this game, I knew I had to get it, and start playing it as soon as possible. So I just want to say again, thank you for making this game. Brings back a lot of nostalgia.

### 5/5 — Love but…

*2026-07-09, version 1.12*

I love this game but when me and my cuzenz were playing track and field but there was no way he could run

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2026-07-06, version 1.12*

This brings me back. Having so much fun playing.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Controls are backwards

*2026-07-23*

Players have no ability to change control schemes.  Most of the games are unplayable on iPad, I don’t want to use a controller, and even when I do, the controls are terrible.  Games are unplayable

### 1/5 — Blank Black screen

*2026-07-08, version 1.12*

Blank Black screen

### 1/5 — I WANT BACKBONE CONTROLLER SUPPORT ITS NOT FAIR WHY

*2026-06-20, version 1.12*

I have a BACKBONE and this GAME that I ENJOY is now ruined due to lack of controller SUPPORT 

FIX UR GAME I DONT LIKE UR GAME ANYMORE PLEASE FIX IS AHHHHHHHHHHH

### 1/5 — not a retro experience

*2026-06-16, version 1.12*

so fun like an old arcade, but the store owner sits over your shoulder and constantly reminds you what your rank is, the daily challenge, asks to collect your data to improve his business, and tries to give you a pager so he can beep you every time there's an update

totally old school just there's no privacy, choices, or respect.

apparently:
rude, mean, sneaky, disrespectful = bad friend 
 rude, mean, sneaky disrespectful = acceptable as long as it's from the screen.

### 1/5 — Sonny does not work on device speakers

*2026-06-15, version 1.12*

Only worked with headphones

### 1/5 — loading problem

*2026-06-11, version 1.11*

this game takes literally 20 minutes to load. no, i am not exaggerating. this is an absolute joke and needs to be fixed. how do you expect the player count to stay up when it takes longer to get onto the main menu than the time spent actually playing the games.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-06-11, version 1.11*

Everything just needs a DIP switch named super easy especially haunted castle but don’t do that to digdug

### 1/5 — PAC man

*2026-06-02, version 1.11*

The controllers suck! Can’t hardly play the game

### 1/5 — Was great now broken

*2026-06-01, version 1.11*

I loved this game. Especially Track & Field. Now it just crashes when I try open track and field.

### 1/5 — I just wanted to play

*2026-05-27, version 1.11*

All  Iwant to do is play the games.  I don’t want to have to earn “money” to “buy” access to machines.  And I’m not sure if this is the game or the controller, but the xbox  controller does not work well  with it.

### 5/5 — Arcade game

*2026-08-15, version 1.12*

This game is very fun and is very interesting. Would recommend to friends. I’d say it is a healthier choice for a game

### 5/5 — Yes!

*2026-08-15, version 1.12*

I have pac man for free

### 5/5 — Old days

*2026-08-11, version 1.12*

I love pac. Man

### 5/5 — Accolades & Requests

*2026-08-11*

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this creation from its first introduction. I truly appreciate the design and care the developers have put into the attention to detail and the maintenance. I don’t know if there’s a place to request any future titles, so I’ll place them here. ‘The Pit’ (1982 Zelic) and ‘Pulsar’ (1981 Sega) would be two incredible additions that can fit right in to the already great selection line-up. I’m certain players would enjoy those challenges as well for hours! Thank you so much for making me feel like a teen again when the urge to retro game emerges..Brilliant App in every way!!!

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2026-08-10, version 1.12*

I love this game

### 5/5 — Memories

### 5/5 — Blast to the past

*2026-07-27, version 1.12*

This apps amazing you can play games from the 80s!

### 5/5 — Definitely recommend. 5stars

*2026-07-27, version 1.12*

So nostalgic. Love the experience.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-07-26*

Retrocade on Vision Pro feels like a tiny time machine: neon everywhere, pure 80s arcade vibes. The controls feel great, it’s immersive without being over the top, and you instantly get that ‘just one more run’ itch. It’s polished, fun, and nails the atmosphere. Easy five stars.
