The story behind the build
I’m still blown away by this incredible arcade that Dennis at Phantom Arcades built for me! From the moment I saw it, I couldn’t stop smiling. blackmass_design absolutely nailed the theme by featuring all of the Backstreet Boys albums throughout the years. Seeing that journey come to life on something my family and I will enjoy together makes it even more special. I can already picture all the game nights, laughs, and memories we’re going to make with family and friends for years to come. That’s what it’s all about. Thank you again, Dennis, for putting so much heart into this build. You and your team are incredibly talented, and I’m beyond grateful. If you’ve ever dreamed of having an arcade in your home, do yourself a favor and reach out to Dennis at Phantom Arcades. He’ll bring your vision to life and create something that’s truly one of a kind.
New core memory unlocked. 🎸🎤🕹️ Watching Howie Dorough sing along to “I Want It That Way” while playing it on Guitar Hero on his custom Backstreet Boys arcade I built for him and his family was surreal. What makes this moment even more special? The song he’s playing wasn’t available anywhere—I custom created it specifically for his arcade. In fact, he’s currently the only person in the world with access to this custom track, along with several other Backstreet Boys songs I created exclusively for his machine. Moments like this are exactly why I love what I do. Taking the music and memories that shaped an entire generation and turning them into something you can experience all over again is what Phantom Arcades is all about. Some memories never fade. Sometimes they just need a joystick and a guitar to come back to life.
Welcome to the Phantom Arcades family, Howie Dorough from the Backstreet Boys 🎤🔥 When a legend who helped define a generation steps into the arcade world… you don’t just build a machine — you build a time capsule. This one hits different. From chart-topping memories to joystick battles, we’re bringing decades of music, energy, and nostalgia into one custom experience built just for Howie. Built for legends. Designed to play forever.
