Hi! This is something we can definitely build. Before scoping it properly, I'd need a few things clarified. Which specific 90s arcade game are we talking about — is this an original IP you own, a clone/inspired-by, or a licensed title? That changes the whole legal and design side. Also, what's the target platform: iOS, Android, or both? On multiplayer: are you thinking real-time (players in the same match simultaneously) or turn-based/async? Real-time multiplayer is a significantly heavier lift and likely pushes past the upper end of the posted budget. We'd approach this with Unity for the game itself — solid for 2D arcade mechanics, cross-platform, and good multiplayer support — with a lightweight backend for matchmaking and sessions. Happy to give you a more grounded estimate once those pieces are clear. Gustavo & the DoTheCode team
