TL;DR: Enter to win The Ultimate Home Arcade Polycade Giveaway as of March 11.

Despite the rise of the home video gaming console — PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, etc. — nothing can replace the wistfulness of arcade video games. Kids today will never understand the feeling of playing Street Fighter or Pac-Man at the local arcade. Shame.

However, there is a way to bring a bit of that nostalgia into your home. It’s called the Polycade, and for a limited time, you can enter to win your own.

Minimal, elegant, and Instagrammable, the Polycade is what the arcade machine would look like if it were designed today. It easily mounts to any wall, saving you precious square footage, and features all the functions you’d want in an arcade machine, and then some. With the best joysticks and buttons for control and accuracy, plus the ability to connect a keyboard, mouse, extra storage, and more, it truly combines the best of both worlds.

The coolest part of the Polycade, though, is that you can immediately start playing as soon as you get it. It’s pre-loaded with 54 different games — from beloved classics to modern gems — like Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat 11, DRAGON BALL FighterZ, and Soul Caliber VI. Better yet, you can download thousands of others from systems such as NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx16, and more. Heck, you can even stream in HD with the built-in camera and microphone, if you’re into that.

In total, the Polycade with the pre-installed games is valued at a massive $4,000. But you can score it for free when you enter the Ultimate Home Arcade Giveaway.
