# Minimalist Hipster Gaming Machines The Replay Arcade Mixes Contemporary Styling with Retro Gaming By Michael Hines | Published 2012-08-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replay-arcade References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2012/08/20/replay-arcade-machine/) & [tom-goodfellow.tumblr](http://tom-goodfellow.tumblr.com/) The Replay Arcade is a modern and minimalist gaming system featuring some 60s [arcade classics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock). The machine was created by London-based designer Tom Goodfellow. Goodfellow's Replay Arcade machine has a design style that can best be described as [retro minimalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acemagic-retro-x5). The machine has few colors and is [slimmer than most arcade systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8bitdo-arcade-controller), but its controls and colorful stripes are a throwback to the 80s. Goodfellow's Replay Arcade has a Jamma game board installed in it. The Jamma game board lets you play games such as 'Ms. Pac-Man,' 'Galaga,' 'Frogger,' 'Donkey Kong' and 'Space Invaders.' Those games alone are worth the nonexistent price of admission, but there are 55 more you can play. Goodfellow's arcade is currently a one-off design, but he is willing to sell his creation if the price is right. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Gaming Machines:** Opportunity for companies to create sleek, minimalist gaming machines with a retro aesthetic. - **Retro Game Revival:** Opportunity to tap into the nostalgia for classic arcade games by creating modern systems that provide an authentic retro gaming experience. - **Custom Arcade Designs:** Opportunity to cater to individual preferences by offering customizable arcade machines with contemporary and retro-inspired designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming Hardware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the gaming hardware industry to introduce modern and minimalist arcade machines. - **Arcade Gaming:** Opportunity for arcade gaming businesses to attract customers by stocking their venues with innovative gaming systems that offer classic arcade games with a modern twist. - **Product Design:** Opportunity for designers and manufacturers in the product design industry to create unique and customizable arcade machine designs that combine retro elements with contemporary styling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Micro Tabletop Arcade Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-arcade-machines.md) - [Ultra-Minimal Arcade Gaming Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-arcade-cabinet.md) - [Retro Gaming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamestation-retro.md) - [Design-Conscious Arcade Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-basketball-game.md) - [Retro Arcade Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/class-of-81.md) - [Freestanding Retro Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vectrex-mini.md) - [Chic Retro Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-gamestation.md) - [Pillow-Like Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade1up-pacman-couchcade.md) - [Nostalgic Handheld Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-arcade-gamestation-portable.md)
