About This Game

Neo Lobby Arcade is the ultimate evolution of classic arcades, transformed into a vibrant virtual multiplayer world. Forget boring menus and solitary emulators: here, your game collection comes alive in an immersive 3D environment designed for socializing. Meet up with friends, walk freely through the lobby, chat with other players using proximity voice chat, and challenge anyone on your favorite machines. Neo Lobby Arcade isn't just an emulator; it's your new digital hangout where nostalgia and modern technology meet.

Your Arcade, Your Rules

In Neo Lobby Arcade, you have total control over the experience. Developed by Astroblast Studios, this title offers an "open world" within a high-fidelity arcade hall where interaction is key. The game serves as a bridge between your backups and the multiplayer experience: simply drag and drop your files onto the virtual machines to start playing.

The heart of the experience is its instant multiplayer system. Want to play a quick match with a friend? Set up the game and invite them with a single click; the system handles session synchronization instantly, eliminating the usual technical barriers. All this happens while you are surrounded by a living environment, featuring recreated arcade art and the ability to see other users playing, reacting, and hanging out in real-time.

Key Features

• 3D Social Environment: Explore a detailed arcade hall in first or third person. You aren't just a name on a list; you are an avatar that can walk, perform gestures, and express yourself within the lobby.

• Proximity Voice Chat: Total immersion thanks to spatial audio. Hear players screaming with excitement next to a machine or whispering strategies in a corner, just like in the arcades of the 90s.

• "Drag & Drop" System: Forget complex setups. Load your own ROMs by simply dragging them directly onto the arcade cabinet you wish to use.

• Instant Multiplayer Sync: Optimized connection technology makes inviting a second player a matter of seconds, without tedious network configurations.

• Cabinet Customization: Visualize your games with their corresponding artwork on the machines, creating an authentic and personalized atmosphere.
