About GamerDad & Retro Imports

GamerDad was born out of a lifelong passion for genuine Japanese arcade culture and heavy-duty hardware restoration. What started as a personal obsession with tracking down, importing, and restoring classic candy cabs quickly evolved into a dedicated mission to bring authentic, play-ready Japanese arcade experiences home.

Specializing in classic Japanese cabinet imports like Sega Blast City, Namco Noir HD, and Grigio models, every machine that passes through the shop is meticulously tested, cleaned, and configured—complete with proper 100V step-down power distribution and reliable multi-cabinet networking for head-to-head Versus play.
