What is Gargantugame?

Gargantugame is an incredible "open architecture" arcade game system that allows gamers to play literally thousands of available arcade games from 1975 thru the modern era. Plus, it doubles as a powerful, top quality home computer (including internet access capability), dvd player and cd player.

 

What does open architecture mean?

Our system is designed so that you can add anything to it. There are currently over 55,000 games that you can play, and that number is growing as new games are released.

 

Bottom line?

Whatever pc and individual gaming system products come out in the future, you can use them on your Gargantugame system. You have the power to tailor and expand your home gaming experience as you see fit. The possibilities are endless!

Gargantugame is designed to grow with your needs, and to last a lifetime.

 

What comes with my Gargantugame system?

We start you out with a powerful Windows XP PC, complete with a 24" wide high resolution LCD monitor (1920x1200 res, PRO version only), keyboard and mouse, arcade control panel with multiple arcade joysticks and trackball, professionally designed and manufactured arcade cabinet and over 400 arcade games, pinball games and modern games.

 

How does Gargantugame work?

The Gargantugame system is powered by a fully functional Windows XP computer.

 

The Gargantugame is a Windows based computer, can I run all my existing computer programs and games on it?

YES! All of the software you currently use in your home computer system will work on Gargantugame. Any hardware peripherals that work on Windows based computers will also work on your Gargantugame system. And yes, Gargantugame is IPOD compatible. You can play DVD movies and music CDs. With this kind of compatibility and its powerful sub-woofer, you can make your Gargantugame double as a music jukebox!

 

What are peripherals?

Peripherals are additional computer hardware to enhance your gaming experience. You can add flight sticks and yokes for flight games, spinners for classic arcade games like Tempest, Tron, Arkanoid, etc. You can add steering wheels with gas and brake pedals for awesome race game experiences. Light guns for games like Big Buck Hunter. You can even add printers or scanners or wireless network products for internet access.

 

How is it possible that Gargantugame can play so many games?

We start you out with licensed CDs from arcade game manufacturers. However, because Gargantugame is Windows compatible, you can use an emulator to play thousands of games that were available in the late 70s like the Atari VCS or 80s and 90s home console systems that were wildly popular. More and more manufacturers like Nintendo and others are making their games available for the Windows platform. Many of the great old cartridges that you used to play on these old home console systems can be played on the Gargantugame system. The number of games available changes constantly. Licensed games are always becoming available at different times. Our technicians are constantly updating the number of games available for play on Gargantugame.

 

Are these the real arcade games that I used to pump quarters into in the 70's, 80's and 90's?

Yes. This is the real deal. You can use all your original moves just like you did in the arcade. Wait until you show your friends what you can do! Reclaim your status as top-scorer on Space Invaders!

 

Can I play Ms. Pac-man and Galaga?

We currently do not include these two games. However, Namco did manufacture a CD containing Ms. Pac-man, Galaga, Dig Dug and others for Windows XP. If you buy one of these CDs you can play those great classics on Gargantugame.

 

What other cool things does it do?

Other enhanced features of Gargantugame include a PAUSE button so you can answer the phone or take care of the kids without sacrificing that new high score. High scores are saved in a sub-directory so that you don't lose them when you power down. Gargantugame has a fully programmable control panel so that you can re-configure any button on any game to do what you want it to do. This allows Gargantugame to maintain compatibility with newer PC games like Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, etc. There is a easy access pull-out drawer (that locks) for the computer keyboard and mouse (PRO model only). Again, it is IPOD compatible, and can play DVD movies and music CDs. Want even bigger sound and graphics? Connect Gargantugame to your home stereo or large projection TV!

 

How is the sound?

Gargantugame comes with a 26 Watt sound system with sub-woofer. Care to rattle the walls of your rec room? A 180 Watt sound system upgrade is available.

 

What if I need to move the arcade unit?

There are two large caster wheels on the rear of the cabinet that allows for easy mobility. The unit weighs approximately 200lbs

 

It seems like a lot of money.

Gargantugame isn't a throw away. It's not a gaming system tha is built to become obsolete or inoperable in a short time. We've created a great, long term entertainment investment for your home and future. Most other arcade game systems can run from $3500 to over $6000 for a single game. Gargantugame starts you out with over 400 arcade games and you can add thousands of additional games for pennies a piece! Let's break it down. When you consider that you may pay upwards of $1500 for a Playstation 3 and 10 games, plus $1800 for a good gaming computer and around $2000 for a used arcade game you will have spent over $5300 for 11 games with little or no expansion possibilities. Gargantugame is designed to support tens of thousands of games and any new hardware or software that will be available many years into the future.

 

My kids (and my adult friends) can be hard on stuff. Will this thing stand up to the rigors of intense gaming?

We beta tested the Gargantugame system in bars for one year before releasing them to the public. If they held up to rowdy bar clientele, they will hold up beautifully at home! All components used in building the system are top of the line computers, cabinets and arcade parts manufactured by industry-leading companies. We want you to be up and gaming every day! We have thousands of Gargantugame systems in customer's homes and offices. They hold up beautifully!

 

Is there a warranty?

Each Gargantugame comes with a one year warranty covering everything from top to bottom. Extended warranties are available.
