About Rent My Arcade

Games in the hands of people who love them

A Twin Cities arcade rental business that started with eight restored games in 2014.

Our story

It started with eight games

Rent My Arcade began in 2014 with eight restored arcade games. The idea came from a college friend who collected classic games, and the first rentals were games brought out to neighborhood block parties.

The goal hasn't changed: get great classic games into the hands of people who appreciate them, at home, at work and at parties.

In February 2022 we opened Two Bit Game Room in St. Paul, a playable showroom where you can try out games before you rent.

Original games, kept in great shape

These aren't reproductions or plug-and-play consoles. They're the same arcade games you lined up to play as a kid, restored and maintained by our techs in our own St. Paul workshop. Maintenance and mechanical repairs are included with every rental.
