Flipper Mechanic is a repair simulator where players take on the role of a specialist who restores vintage entertainment machines like pinball tables, arcade cabinets, and coin-op games. Once the centerpieces of arcades, these machines have been left to decay and disappear.
The gameplay focuses on purchasing old, broken-down devices through online auctions. Each machine arrives in different condition — damaged, dusty, incomplete, or non-working — and it’s your job to bring it back to life.
The repair process includes disassembly, cleaning, soldering, replacing components, and solving technical issues creatively. The game provides a close-up look at how these classic machines work, offering a rewarding mix of detail, skill, and nostalgia.
As you progress, you can earn a reputation as a master restorer, sell machines for profit, or collect iconic devices for your personal arcade. Flipper Mechanic is a love letter to retro gaming and the satisfying art of fixing things.
