Excerpt
Arcadem Pro scores super high in all areas. With a wealth of options to chose from when it comes to licences and the underlying power that is available, you could do a lot worse than Arcadem Pro.
First Impressions
This script comes to you from AgaresMedia, it is the Pro version and the super feature rich older brother of the LE script. Arcadem Pro has taken the market by storm since its introduction, offering a level of features not seen before. As with LE, every detail is listed and readily accessible. Demos for the front and backends were also available at the time of this review, and they revealed a script of great quality. The admin area for the pro version has a few moe bells and whistles and appeared to me to be slighly differant in its design.
Demo
Stangely enough I actually preferred the LE demo on the frontend, not that I could much in the way of faults with the pro demo (the advertising button didnt link) its just a little bit underdone and doesnt really show the power of the script.
Features
Pretty much anything you can think should be in it, is in it, including MochiAds feed integration and according to the website, access up to a stunning 10,000 games - I dont want to even think about writing custom descriptions for that many games! Among its impressive feature set exists outstanding advertising integration, better than anything ive yet seen, multi-lingual functionality, more advanced blogging/news type system than you might be use too, and a bunch of other features that push it to the top of the class.
Quality
Since this is essentially the same script as the free version, but feature intact, the quality is just as good.
Pricing
Here comes the good part - the price. The basic pro version will set you back a measly $29.99, which is simply incredible value. 3 differant options are available.
Single Licence - $29.99 -1 domain, 1 month free hosting, forum support, 500 games + 2000 mochiad games.
Extended Licence - $49.99 - 2 domains, 2 months, forum support/tickets/emails, 2500 games + 2000 mochiad games
Premium Licence - $129.99 - 5 domains, 4 months, phone support!/forums/tickets/emails, 3500 games + 2000 mochiad games. Oh my!
For the majority of people the basic package would suffice and get you started with this outstanding script, for power users id recommend the premium.
Support
Basic support is forum based, although I imagine many people may also revert to email at times. The extended and premium licence options provide enhanced support for those that need it. Its rare to seen phone support offered in a script of this type, but its available - at a price.
Gamepacks
500 games preinstalled and 2000 available from Mochiads, Also have access to the 2 games packs, 3500 in one and 2500 in another for $19.99 and $14.99 respectively.
Copyright
Copyright is removed with even the basic version, as it should be.
Installation
Again installation is available for $50, which is ive said as at the high end of what you would expect to pay, see if you can haggle them down a bit if you need it, or contact me
Other Details
Not much left to say. Arcadem Pro has it all.
Overall
Possibly the best script you can buy right now, although some may argue a couple others are also vying for the title. It cant really recommend it enough if your serious about building a fantastic arcade, and whats more important - the price is right.
Further Experience
Ill fill you in soon.























Arcadem PRO is extremely complex and a pain to mod in my opinion.
I tried the Arcadem LE edition of it, and was confused beyond it all.
The administation panel for Arcadem is in full AJAX which makes it EXTREMELY slow.
I ve bought Arcadem Pro and all i can say is that the themes provided are the worst i ve seen. Most of them have HUGE compatibility problems with Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
This is my main problem, i cant enjoy all the other features if i m not able to find a theme that my visitors can use(75% of internet users still browse with IE)
Wow this is good info.
I was just abut to purchase this script.
Has these problems been rectified by now. This was since last year.
Does anyone know if the bugs are totally worked out by now?
If you are looking for a one-stop purchase and your finished product, this is it. It has wonderful features, easy to use not to mention awesome interface. Lots of neat things you can do, and I think the themes are some of the best looking ones out there. Look at PHPAS for some real eyesores if you want some horrible templates and headaches with features that are malfunctioning!

Things are crazy at Arcadem.I bought this script a while back.And it still sucks.Arcadem is under new management.We will see what becomes of it.Yes the themes leave a lot to be desired.Some people there are making themes for sale.Not worth the money.To many bugs.Hold your money for now,or go with another script.
