Our Story

HighScoreSaves was built around a love for original arcade games and the hardware that powers them. Many classic arcade machines are decades old, and keeping them running often takes the right parts, the right documentation, and support from someone who understands original arcade PCBs.

What started with Free Play and High Score Save Kit support has grown into a larger arcade resource for collectors and operators. Today, HighScoreSaves supports a wide range of original arcade hardware upgrades, including save kits, Wi-Fi enabled kits, multigame kits, PCB switchers, ARpiCADE systems, reproduction control panels, arcade parts, digital downloads, and installation resources.

The goal has always been to make classic arcade hardware easier to enjoy while respecting the original machines, original boards, and the collectors who maintain them.
