• Won't install on Windows 7

  leek-soupNovember 8, 2012

  Pros

  Decent program from what I remember.

  Cons

  Won't work on windows 7, apparently.

  Summary

  My parents used to have this on their computer and I was trying to find one particular game I used to play on it, so I tried to download this. The installer stops at 50% of preparing installation, then one after another, an error window pops up. They're shown one at a time, but there were 40-50 in all. I lost count. I tried redownloading three times, thinking maybe the file just errored, but nope. It does this every single time.

  ioscatMarch 23, 2012

  Pros

  Has all the classic games and runs perfectly! @txgeekygirl The servers work great as the merge never happened in the UK. We still have realarcade.

  Cons

  Not many new, updated games.

  Summary

  All in all, a great piece of software if you like older PC games.

• This software is now TRASH

  txgeekygirlAugust 2, 2011

  Pros

  you can still get most or all of your games back if you connect with Gamehouse.com

  Cons

  cannot get back the Real Arcade software as they shut down the server.Gamehouse.com now has all accounts and also games purchased from RA.After installing software suggested by Gamehouse it completely trashed my RA install and I cannot get it back

  Summary

  If you had Ra and want all your games-go to Gamehouse.com and set up an account. It will give you an opportunity to merge your RA account. Not all the older games are still available(there is a list of "retired games") but you can re-download any in your list after you merge the account. If you cannot remember your RA log information- the GH chat can reset your password.You can then download the games individually-but its not the same as the RA software set-up.

• Its good but no longer supported

  JasCarver9August 29, 2010

  Pros

  Merged with GameHouse to provide a larger catalog of games

  Cons

  Original client no longer supported.

  Summary

  RealArcade is no longer supported and you will need to sign into Gamehouse.com to transfer your account. You may find some games that are no longer supported. If that is the case, email support@gamehouse.com and they will help you out. I am not an employee or staff member of Gamehouse.com just trying to pass on this helpful information.Also, if you hit up Gamehouse on Facebook they can help you as well.
