Frequently asked questions.
What the NAS cabinets cover, how venues work, how scores are handled and what happens to your data.
What is a NAS?
NAS stands for Nelfe Arcade Station. It is a one-player cabinet built to work with the dynamic display surfaces and the technologies of the NELFE ecosystem.
Do you pay per game?
How access works depends on the venue and the event. The pilot concept is studying free daily access complemented by scheduled sessions, private hires and competitions.
How are scores presented?
Each challenge states its rule, the data being tracked and the nature of the result shown. Players know what is being measured before they take part.
Can I install a NAS in my venue?
Yes, subject to a study of the space, the intended use and the economics. You can submit a request online.
Can I buy a NAS?
Yes. The NAS form lets you specify the model, the options, the number of cabinets, the location and the timeline.
Does NELFE supply the games?
Only games distributed or exploited with the necessary rights can be offered. The exact content depends on the offer, the venue and the agreements with rights holders.
Is a cabinet installed at my venue compliant?
A game being technically runnable does not make it licensed: offering it to the public is a public performance, and it is the venue showing it that is exposed. NelfePlay only lists titles whose exploitation or redistribution is legally authorised — an agreement with the rights holders, a distribution licence, a freely redistributable title, or another applicable legal framework.
Can we run a game launch?
Yes. The cabinets, the dynamic surfaces, the challenges and the OBS production make it possible to build a dedicated activation with the studio or publisher.
Is a NelfePlay account required?
Not to try a cabinet or to play, unless a particular event says otherwise. It becomes useful when you want a performance attached to a profile and your records kept.
What data is collected?
This site only collects what you send voluntarily through a form. No audience measurement tool is installed.
