Not exactly sure which consoles will suit you best? Remember a game, but not sure what you played it on? Just ask, we're more than happy to advise on which consoles will work best for you.
What do you want to play?
We know everyone has their favourites... Rather break out the special moves in Street Fighter II over Streets of Rage? Prefer to hit the track with Mario Kart or Micro Machines? Sooner settle old scores with Goldeneye or Super Smash Bros.? Whatever your tastes, with over 2500 original cartridges and discs
at our disposal, we should have you covered.
Not only do we have all the old classics and latest releases, but also some really rare, obscure and collectible titles... some of which you might never have even heard of, let alone had the chance to play before!!!
Each one of our games has been individually checked and tested so that we know they are not only 100% original, but in tip-top condition... all 2500+ of them! (Now that's dedication for you!!!) You won't see any reproductions, emulations or pirated discs.
We're always adding new titles to our library, so if you're looking for inspiration, check out our Games Bible
for an up-to-date list. You name it, we've got it... and even if we don't, all you have to do is ask and we'll try to find it for you!
FAQs
How many people can play at once?
With our Essential package we supply as many controllers as your game choices support. This depends on the specific console and games you choose to play. Some titles support up to 8 simultaneous players, but most multiplayer games have support for 2-4 players.
For larger groups our 'Extra' package adds an additional matching console paired with a supplementary screen (28" 4K UHD gaming monitor or retro 21" CRT TV to suit your consoles selection) setup inside the theatre for up to 16 simultaneous players
For the maximum number of players possible our 'Experience' package can support 4 consoles and up to 32 simultaneous players on the cinema screen, plus the option to add on supplementary screens as well!
But there's nothing to stop you being super indulgent, with 1 controller and the entire screen all to yourself, if that's what you want to do.
How clear is the image?
Cinema projectors support 4K resolution, so modern consoles like the PS5 will look absolutely fantastic! For retro consoles we use specialist upscaling equipment designed for gaming consoles, so classic titles look their absolute best without adding input lag. So no matter which of our consoles you select, it will look as good as, if not better than, you remember!
How long can we play for?
Vue screen hire is available in 2 hour slots, if you'd like more than 2 hours please let us know when you enquire and we can advise additional costs.
