Arcades of Future Past is designed to showcase a classic 90s arcade and contrast it with its modern-day counterpart. The set includes:

A ground floor neon gaming arcade with split levels and a range of machines, including a basketball game, pinball machine, two player racing game, air hockey, shooting game, double cabinet, two single cabinets, dancing game and change machine
An upper floor grey & white VR-cade including a desk, some headsets and an empty room
Removable top floor and top roof for easy access to interiors
Aside from the arcade games, other mini-builds including a vending machine, breaker box, aircon unit, integrated bench, service desk, dumpster & bins
A number of bugs, as you would expect, and a few easter eggs

A few points on design choices:

The build tries to utilise some different techniques to achieve clean angles and smooth lines
The split flooring allowed some building below street level and breaks up the large interior of the ground floor
The stairs ascending at 45 degrees were important to keep the scale with the rest of the building but turned out to be a particular challenge as I really wanted to keep a single gradient on the handrail
Another key difficulty was maintaining a balance between colours; the neon colour scheme of the arcade meant the background needed to be dark. Keeping enough light accents against the large amount of black was important and so the lighter colour of the upper building was designed to go some way to counteract the black main building
I tried to include a variety of contrasts/echoes between the lower and upper buildings, such as the colourful/retro vs grey/modern brick-built lettering, the busy downstairs vs empty upstairs, simple vs extravagant architecture, coin payments vs payment app, dumpster vs separate recycling and manual door vs automatic

There are eight minifigures included: five customers (a girl, boy, woman, man and older boy), a maintenance worker, a VR attendant and a human police officer.

The footprint is 48w x 32d studs and the street level is four plates over a baseplate.

Thanks for looking! :)
