Our Story
HighScoreSaves began with a genuine appreciation for original arcade games and the hardware that powers them. There is something special about hearing an original arcade PCB start, seeing the authentic attract mode, and playing a game on the hardware for which it was designed.
Classic arcade machines are now decades old, and keeping them running often requires the right products, clear documentation, careful installation, and support from someone who understands original arcade PCB hardware. HighScoreSaves was founded in 2015 to help make preserving and enjoying these machines easier for collectors, operators, hobbyists, and restoration professionals.
What began with Free Play and High Score Save Kit development has grown rapidly into a much larger arcade product and support resource. HighScoreSaves has expanded into Wi-Fi-enabled high score features, multigame solutions, PCB switchers, arcade parts, digital downloads, detailed installation guides, and specialized customer support.
The goal has always remained the same: respect the original hardware while creating useful modern features that help classic arcade games remain playable, reliable, and enjoyable for years to come.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help collectors, operators, and arcade enthusiasts preserve and enjoy original arcade hardware through reliable products, thoughtful development, clear documentation, and knowledgeable support.
Built Through Continued Development
Experience is measured not only in years, but in what has been built, improved, documented, and continuously supported.
Since 2015, HighScoreSaves has maintained an active development schedule focused on expanding support for original arcade hardware. In just over a decade, we have developed and supported more than 120 HighScoreSaves kit designs for a wide variety of classic arcade games and hardware platforms.
That work includes more than releasing new products. We continue to improve existing designs, expand firmware features, develop Wi-Fi-enabled options, add game and hardware support, create installation resources, and answer technical questions from customers using these products in real arcade machines.
This combination of product development, documentation, and long-term support is central to what HighScoreSaves represents. We are not simply preserving what has already been created—we are continuing to build new ways for original arcade hardware to be enjoyed.
What We Specialize In
HighScoreSaves focuses on classic arcade hardware upgrades, support resources, and products designed for customers working with original arcade machines and PCB platforms.
Our Commitment to Original Arcade Hardware
HighScoreSaves is built around the preservation and enjoyment of original arcade hardware. Many of our products are designed to work directly with original arcade PCBs, original cabinets, original control layouts, and authentic arcade hardware platforms.
We believe modern features should enhance the experience of owning an original arcade game without taking away what makes the machine authentic. Our focus is not simply replacing classic hardware, but helping customers keep original machines operating and enjoyable.
Free Play and High Score Save Kits, Wi-Fi-enabled score features, multigame upgrades, installation guides, compatibility notes, and support resources are all part of that commitment.

Customer Support Philosophy
When you contact HighScoreSaves, you are not contacting a generic customer service department unfamiliar with the products. Support is based on hands-on experience with arcade kits, original PCB hardware, product compatibility, installation requirements, Wi-Fi features, and the questions that arise when working with machines that may be several decades old.
HighScoreSaves support does not end when an order ships. Customers can contact us before purchasing, during installation, or after the product is in use.
Email is the preferred support method because it allows us to review order information, PCB photos, installation details, videos, product information, and troubleshooting steps before responding.
Whether you need help choosing the correct kit, confirming compatibility, understanding an installation guide, setting up Wi-Fi score uploads, or reviewing a product issue, HighScoreSaves is here to help whenever possible.
Why We Keep Building
The classic arcade community continues to inspire everything we do. Every machine restored, every original PCB kept in service, and every customer who discovers a classic game for the first time is another reason to continue developing.
We regularly work to expand support for additional games and hardware platforms, improve existing kit designs, add useful features, and publish new installation resources. Customer feedback and real-world installations also help us identify opportunities to make products and documentation better.
HighScoreSaves remains committed to active product development and long-term support so original arcade hardware can continue running, scoring, saving, and being enjoyed by future generations.
