Our Story
TinyArcade™ began as a late-night conversation about how gaming used to feel. Not complicated. Not overwhelming. Just simple, exciting, and full of wonder. We started reminiscing about the first consoles we ever held, how the screen would glow in a dim room, how every new game felt like stepping into a brand-new world, and how time seemed to disappear while we played. Somewhere in that conversation, a small spark formed. What if we could bring that feeling back?
The more we talked about it, the more we realized that modern gaming had drifted far away from the magic we grew up with. Everything today is bigger, more cinematic, more expensive, and more demanding. Before you can play anything, you have to install updates, charge giant controllers, or sign into accounts. Somewhere along the way, the heart of gaming got buried under complications.
We wanted to recreate the joy of those early days. Something small. Something meaningful. Something you could pick up at any moment and instantly feel that sense of excitement again. That idea became the very first blueprint for TinyArcade™. And so the story began.
How TinyArcade Began
TinyArcade™ started as a personal passion project. Just a handheld console we built for ourselves to relive the kind of gaming we grew up with. A device that didn’t ask anything from you. No setup. No updates. No barriers. Just turn it on and start playing.
As we built it, the project kept growing. We kept adding more classic games, improving the screen, refining the buttons, and obsessing over every small detail until the device felt exactly right. What began as a simple hobby slowly turned into something that felt too special to keep to ourselves.
At some point, we realized TinyArcade™ wasn’t just a gadget. It was a time machine. A pocket sized doorway into decades of gaming history that anyone could enjoy.
A Library of Over 15,000 Games
Today, TinyArcade™ holds more than fifteen thousand games across multiple generations. From childhood favorites to hidden gems you may have forgotten existed, every game is loaded and ready the moment you power on the console.
No internet required.
No long downloads.
No complicated menus.
Just pure, instant fun. Exactly the way gaming used to be.
Why We Built It
We built TinyArcade™ for people who miss the feeling of discovering a new game for the first time. For parents who want to share the games they grew up with. For collectors who love the nostalgia. For anyone who wants to escape into something simple, relaxing, and genuinely fun.
In a world where everything keeps getting bigger and more complicated, TinyArcade™ is our reminder that joy can still be found in the smallest, simplest things.
