Reception

Stefan Jones reviewed PC Arcade in Space Gamer No. 66.[3] Jones commented that "I highly recommend PC Arcade to PC users who want to try arcade games but don't care about superb graphics or absolute fidelity to the classics these games emulate. Hard-core arcadists (arcadites? Arcaders?) may be disappointed, though."[3]

FriendlySoft claimed, in a 1983 PC Magazine ad, that "the first two PC ARCADE production runs sold out before they shipped."[1]
