Build Your First Bartop Arcade — With a Dual-Measure Plan

A plan you can measure

You want a bartop arcade at home. Not a factory. Not a pile of random tutorials. A plan you can measure — and a build order that doesn’t skip the dry-fit.

Home Arcade Blueprint is a bartop build plan for first-time builders: an English how-to guide plus dual-measure drawings so your tape and your cut list stay in sync.

What’s Inside

When you get Home Arcade Blueprint — Bartop, you get:

1. An English bartop construction guide — tools, materials, screen sizing, assembly sequence, and checkpoints
2. Assembly Overview PDF — master dimensions in inches + mm
3. Central Parts drawing
4. Side Model 1 panel drawing (pair)
5. Side Models Options image — pick a generic silhouette and stick to it

That’s the pack. No licensed game art. No ROM library. No “income from rentals” module.

• Digital download — you supply wood, tools, hardware, and screen
• No ROMs, BIOS files, or games included
• Bartop scope only (upright / wall / portable = out of this MVP)

How it works

1. Choose 1-player or 2-player layout.
2. Pick one side profile and stay with it.
3. Read the Overview sheet (inches first, millimeters in brackets).
4. Dry-fit before final cuts and glue-up.
5. Build the cabinet shell — then add controls and a screen you buy separately.
6. For software and games, use only what you have the legal right to use. This pack does not provide ROMs or BIOS files.
