Where facts come from
Research reads maker pages first, then major retailers, then marketplaces. Each fact on a listing links to the page it came from. The 123 listings here were checked on Sep 30, 2026. Where a maker’s store publishes its prices in a form software can read, the price and stock were read again on Oct 1, 2026 (64 listings); those listings show both dates. A check confirms what a page said that day; it does not confirm the price or stock today.
Price and confidence
Every listing shows one price with its kind (list, sale, starting or free), the seller and the check date. A price is one product’s price on its own page, never two products added together. Where a product comes in options at different prices, we show the lowest as a starting price and describe the others in the price note. Confidence is high when the price was read on the seller’s page and moderate when it came from a search result summary or a third-party page. There are no estimated prices. Currently 113 high and 10 moderate.
Availability
We record availability as the maker or seller states it: in stock, made to order, coming soon, sold out or discontinued. Sold-out listings stay listed and labeled. Discontinued products are not listed. Where a page is unclear or contradicts itself, availability is left blank and the wording is shown.
Cabinet type and players
Set only when the product’s name or contents state them. We do not infer a cabinet type from a photo or a height.
What we leave out
ROM or game packs, devices that get around console copy protection, and products that use a game company’s names or art without a stated license are not listed. We never link to ROM, BIOS or download sites. See licensing labels.
Licensing text
The licensing box on a listing quotes or describes what the product’s page states about its games, with a link to that page. It does not add our view of whether the games are licensed, and it does not repeat one company’s claims about other companies.
Which pages are indexed
Every page stays available here; these rules decide which ones are offered to search engines. Smaller pages are kept out of search until they qualify.
- A listing page needs a real price and at least two other documented specifications (size, players, controls, screen or what is included).
- A game page needs 4 or more machines, or 2 or more with an editorial introduction of at least 300 words.
- A maker page needs 2 or more listings.
- A cabinet-type page needs 4 or more machines that state that type. The “other shapes” page is never indexed.
- The machine and DIY finders, the kit, controls and plans collections and the 4-player page need 4 or more listings.
- Guides and articles need at least 300 words of original writing.
- The privacy, terms and affiliate disclosure pages are not indexed.
