Hi there,
Lunar Lander has been an excellent choice. The mini arcade plays smooth, brings back fond memories of the early/mid 1980s when it was, along with Asteroids, being replaced in Spain by the new, more powerful color machines. Because of that, these black and white "old" vector cabinets were cheaper to play (though expensive to master). When I saw the "Eagle has landed" on the screen... LOL it's more real than the 1969 TV show! ;-)
As a suggestion you may consider, I think publishing a dedicated book for every mini arcade would be a great idea. Should you decide to do it though, we all retro fans would love some intense read. A nice design with awesome and revealing pictures is a start, but it's the in-depth technical hardware/software coverage, and the insightful interviews, that elevates a book to the must-buy status (I love some of the "Boss Fight" books). Casual and non-technical readers would enjoy the artistic and "lighter" content, but it's the deeper knowledge of how the machine operates and the history details leading to its inception/design/implementation/deployment choices that makes a classic book you love to keep in your library (the heavier chapters can be skipped anyway by the casual reader). Maybe some kind of collaboration with Retro Gamer would be possible.
That's all. Keep the good work, we love these machines.
Best regards,
Santiago F.V.
PS: I hope Missile Command is high on your upcoming-projects list!
Simply fantastic! As with all other Quarter Arcades, the attention to detail is superb. The emulation of the game seems spot on and the vector graphics are recreated very well. I’m lucky enough to have played on an original full size lunar lander, and I think the feel of this reproduction of the thrust lever is excellent. Overall, one of my favourite QAs, it will take centre stage in my collection
I've collected nine quarter arcades from numskull and there all just perfect but Luner lander is totally different instead of just fighting or solving puzzles you require some extra skills to land the Lunar module and it makes you feel great when you achieve touch down and with more challenges ahead you need to be a good pilot.
So I would definitely recommend this game .
Great cabinet, great attention to detail
Packaged well, nice weight, looks great. Took it out of the box charged it up turned it on the lighting looks great played it on the easy setting please just like I remember played it on the hard setting I couldn't land definitely something to have to work to would recommend if you like this game
Amazing item. Well built. Displays well. Plays great. Brought back the memory of being in the arcade as a kid. Just wish the controller issue was fixed , which seems to make the character freeze from time to time. I also purchased burger time and elevator action. Great for collectors
As far as I can tell, identical to the original arcade game in every detail, except size.
Your products are amazing. I have most of them just trying to save up money. I would love to get the Luna Lander that thrust control looks amazing. Keep up the good work
As always when it comes to Quarter Arcades, the quality, the accuracy, the attention to detail is what you expect! And it's always surely delivered here! Another quality cabinet and another one added to the collection.
This thing is awesome. 11/10 would buy again.
While it is a beautiful machine that I wanted to love, the use of an 8-way joystick in a small form factor renders the game frustratingly unplayable (the issue being that if you don't move the joystick perfectly horizontally or vertically on the zoo levels, your character will freeze (and, likely, die)).
This 1/4 cabinet is probably one of their best looking/unique control scheme cabinets yet. The analog thruster gives the feel that you are actually controlling the space capsule. I have not played an original Lunar Lander out in the wild but have played it on Mame and the Atari 50th collection and this blows those out of the water with having the correct controls.
If you’re on the fence and have a little extra disposable income, buy this and you’ll definitely enjoy it. Also the mini poster and light look phenomenal.
This 1/4 scale cabinet is absolutely stunning in appearance. From the curved marquee to the grey coloured build, it just takes you back to a time when these games were new and in the arcades. I was never a massive Bad Dudes fan back in the day but I am super happy to have this one in my collection and the controls work perfectly, complimenting the original game ROM. Overall it's a great looking cabinet with a decent game and fun gameplay, well worth the price to add to your 'arcade' as well.
I am quite pleased with the appearance, size and authentic game play offered here for a fraction of the cost of an original Lunar Lander arcade board-set and cabinet. Not to mention it takes up a a lot less space than a full-sized machine! While not something I would be holding weekend tournaments on, it will definitely look great on the shelf, and even better when running in attract mode between occasional game sessions. The controls have an excellent feel to them and are very responsive during gameplay. I found charging the internal battery to be quite a lengthy process (~ 5hrs) but with a reasonable amount of game/attract mode run time (~ 4 hrs) in return. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and will be collecting additional Quarter Arcade machines from Numskull. Also since this is the Collector's Edition, the added poster and lamp (both 1/4 scale) were a really nice touch!
Absolute quality replica arcade once again
Pre-ordered. Only had to wait a short while for fulfillment. Perfect cabinet, fun game. The company and people that run it are fantastic.

Excellent! A great reproduction of a classic game. It feels quality, and plays the same as the original. For people in the market for this sort of thing, that's what they want to see.
It’s awesome, I love the Lunar Lander Arcade Cabinet, it’s more interesting to use than the others to be honest as I have had a habit of landing LEMs on the moon when I used to visit NASA in Florida.
The attention to detail on this cabinet is awesome! It’s my favorite so far of the 8 1/4 scale arcades I own. The poster and light included with the pre order is just icing on the cake and look great in my game room. If you’re on the fence to purchase this and have the money, definitely pick up this beautiful 1/4 cabinet.
As a GenX kid, I spent many many summer hours playing in Aladdin's Castle. Bad Dudes often sat right next to Robocop and was one of the games I played most often. This faithful recreation is incredibly accurate. It's literally the 'Honey I Shrunk the Arcade' and the quality is top-tier. I have built the home arcade of my Silver Spoons dreams with these and continue to be a loyal supporter of Quarter Arcades.
I also pre-ordered this, which meant it included the wall art and wall light. I thought this would be a novelty, and it is, but it's also really pretty neat. I found myself wishing that I could buy more of the little lights for other areas around the arcade. It was really impressive to have as an add-on and I'm very happy with the quality of the shrunken print and the light. Thank you!!
Fingers Crossed for Robocop in 2026!!
I have never played an actual Atari Lunar Lander arcade cab, but I have a High Score Saves kit in my Atari Asteroids arcade cab that allows me to play it along with Asteroids Deluxe and regular Asteroids. So I have played Lunar Lander on that. That said I knew just that the single thrust button which was simply on and off on an Asteroids control panel and not the analog thruster would make a difference and now I can tell you for a fact that it makes the game absolutely superb to have a working analog thruster as it was meant to be. . And yours on this game appears to work flawlessly as I’m sure the original did.. Beyond the fact that you seem to have captured every single detail of the original right up to the light up panels of the different skill levels the analog thruster send it over the top for A+ great! My compliments to you and thank you for offering / building it. I am happy to own this. I would really like to buy the Battlezone complete with all the detachable front faces and step and if you make a Pong and a Red Baron too, I would be very happy to try to add those to my collection. I’m a major fan of Atari and while I own several of your other units, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Dig Dug and Burger Time (the ladder two have yet to take out of the box and play) I was thrilled to see you come out with Atari Lunar Lander your first Atari title. Please keep up the work!
Amazing recreation and gameplay. Buttons and thruster feel authentic love it!!
