Ryan Bates is the name behind the brand Retro Built Games, LLC, which specializes in creating portable arcade cabinets and multi-cade cabinets from scratch. These cabinets, commonly known as MAMEs or Multi-cades, are meticulously crafted by hand using original designs. They are capable of emulating various consoles and arcade cabinets, allowing users to relive the nostalgia of retro video games.

Ryan's passion for arcade cabinets began in 2008 when he built his very first MAME Cabinet #1 using a garage sale computer, plywood, and other miscellaneous items. Since then, he has dedicated himself to constructing these immersive gaming experiences, reviving the sights, sounds, and smells of the arcades from his childhood. With a focus on video gaming and tech, Ryan loves building innovative creations.

Whether it's DIY arcade cabinet kits, 2:3 scale Sega arcades, or WiFi clocks, he is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of gaming. Join Ryan Bates and Retro Built Games on their mission to share the knowledge and joy of arcade building
