**mic\_arcade** puts seven playable arcade cabinets in your city. Walk up, press play, and the camera moves in to the machine while the game runs on its screen — so anybody standing around can watch the game being played.

Machines can stand where you put them in `config.lua`, or players can carry one as an item and place it themselves. A game costs cash, bank money or arcade coins — your choice — and DuoFight lets two players put money on a match. It runs on **ESX**, **QBCore** or **QBox**, and ships its cabinets in a companion resource, `mic_arcade_props`.

## Key features

* **Seven games** 🎮\
  Alien, Breakout, DuoFight, Pixel, Race, Tower and Road — each in its own cabinet model.
* **On the screen, not in a menu** 📺\
  The game is drawn on the cabinet itself. Other players see it running while somebody plays.
* **Fixed or placeable** 🏗️\
  List fixed spots per cabinet in `config.lua`, or hand out a cabinet item: the player uses it, previews the machine, rotates it with the scroll wheel and confirms. The owner can pick it back up.
* **Pay how you like** 💰\
  Cash, bank, cash-then-bank, or an item such as `arcade_coin`. Each cabinet has its own price, and a price of `0` makes it free.
* **DuoFight for money** 🥊\
  One player hosts a match and names a stake; a second player at the machine matches it. The winner takes both, a draw refunds both.
* **Leaderboards** 🏆\
  Each game keeps every character's best score and shows the top ten.
* **A cap per player** 🔢\
  `Config.MaxArcadesPerPlayer` limits how many machines one character can have placed at once.
* **Three ways to interact** 🎯\
  ox\_target, qb-target, or a plain **Press E** prompt.
* **Ten languages** 🗣️\
  English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Russian and Chinese.
