Membership
Here you can register for free to use the site and download, or register (or upgrade) to become a Member. Becoming a fully fledged member of Arcade Punks gives you a better browsing experience than simply registering — but no-one is forced to become a member. You can keep a free registered account and use the site as normal, just without the membership benefits.

Please note: you are not paying for special access to files — you are paying to support the site and see fewer ads, first and foremost. If you are paying because you want warez, please just get a Usenet subscription and download from Usenet instead. We are not a behind-the-scenes file-sharing membership. The few FTP servers and non-public exclusives are purely a bonus.
