Run Arcade Sidekick on PC or Mac

Upgrade your experience. Try Arcade Sidekick, the fantastic Entertainment app from Richard Rumsey, from the comfort of your laptop, PC, or Mac, only on BlueStacks.

Arcade Sidekick feels like a little score-keeping buddy for anyone who spends time on real arcade cabinets or loves the old classics. It lets a player log which machines they have played, stash personal bests, and rate each game so nothing gets forgotten. There are loads of titles already in the list, well over a few hundred, and new ones pop up over time. The neat part is seeing the community’s average ratings next to personal opinions, so it is easy to spot which games are worth hunting down next time. On PC with BlueStacks it is extra handy, since typing scores and notes with a keyboard is faster and flipping through long lists is smoother.

There is a light competitive angle too. Friends can be added as rivals and their scores show up on each game’s leaderboard, so it turns a quick run into a friendly chase. Challenges and achievement sharing are baked in without feeling pushy. It also sends alerts for arcade news and new world records, which is fun when someone beats a huge score and everyone talks about it. The whole thing wears nice retro skins that look like they belong in a neon-lit arcade, and users can swap themes to taste. There is a paid version to support ongoing work if someone likes it enough, but the main draw is simple tracking, clean stats, and an easy way to keep the arcade habit organized.

Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
