    I have been going to Ocean City Maryland on family vacations for the past 30 or so years. I am 10 years younger than you, however, the Playland arcade is still up and running and going strong. It does have a few classic arcade machines but many games are newer or redemption. The sounds, the lights, energy and ambience on warm summer nights are still awesome even today!

    Very awesome collection, I like how you have a wide variety of games from the 70s, 80s and 90s, the Liberator cabaret is also awesome, well done 👍🏻😎

    Hello! This was a really neat video. If your channel hasn't crossed the radar of RetroRalph, I'm sure it will soon! It's really neat that you have Escape from the Planet of the Robot Zombies. I always loved that game and played it often! Your collection is really nice! I was really impressed with your Space Harrier cab too!
    My top 5 wish list of games to actually own in person would be:
    1) Xybots
    2) APB (with the sit down seat)
    3) STUN Runner (but wow is that thing huge)
    4) Spy Hunter (Stand-up)
    5) Rasten

    Stellar overview of your collection and always enjoy the historic info and backstories! I too being born in 71 used to enjoy family summer vacations in the late 70s and early 80s in Ocean City and Atlantic City casino arcades. Not sure and recall completely if I ever visited that particular one you went to though. I remember the indoor casino ones mainly but forgot the names.

    This was so informative and well edited! You definitely gained a subscriber. I recently started becoming obsessed with the local arcade and building a MAME cabinet but don't have the money, know how, or space to start so I've just been looking at other people's collections and tours online and obsessing over them/learning as much as I can. Your channel is definitely one of the most informative I've come across. Thanks and keep up the good work!

    Thanks for sharing! I recall going to arcades and seeing kit games (though I didn't yet know what those were) and trying to make out what game the machine was previously used for based on the burn-in. Looking back, I think that was the genesis of my interest in video game history.

    Howdy Cassandra, I hope your doing well,
    I watched this video probably 10 times now lol you have so many of my favorite Arcade games, that I played as a kid, as they debuted, and still play, and own some of them today, do you have any children, and if so, have they shown interest in becoming electrical engineers too, like your Dad, and do they have the same love for the classic Arcade games like yourself ?? I've been subscribed to your channel for the past 2,3 years now, and I gotta say, I really appreciate your knowledge of the games you own and restore, but the history of these games, and So much more, I really enjoy watching your videos, and learning such in depth history of these games, and the companies who built them, Very Cool indeed, Stay safe, Stay Calm and game on my Friend, Peace

    Awesome collection. I wish I had space to go that big. I guess I technically do, but I love my console games as well, so I had to keep it to 5 cabinets (I may be able to fit one more if I get creative). I have that same Centipede cabaret, which I play a lot. I also have a Neo Geo MVS, a Nintendo Popeye, a Time Soldiers that was set up as the original game in a Dynamo cabinet, which is kind of weird, and a converted 4-player Sunset Riders that has been at least two other games, but I can't tell which. It was at least a Crime Fighters and something from Taito, but they did enough 4 player games that I'll never know for sure most likely.
    I like having an LS30 rotary stick cabinet. I sometimes swap in my pcbs for Guerrilla War, Gondomania, and Heavy Barrel, or the odd vertical JAMMA board like Devastators.
    The Sunset Riders I swap in several boards as well. I have... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, and Desert Assault that all have the same 15 pin connector for simple switching. I have other 4 player PCBs, but they're a pain to swap because of different pinout on the 3P and 4P harnesses (WWF Wrestlefest, US Championship V'ball, Ninja Baseball Bat Man).
    I have a bunch of other JAMMA boards I swap in from time to time in the MVS cabinet with a converter. A few that aren't all that great that I got for cheap, and several that I just love from my younger days like Rastan, Tecmo Knight, Black Tiger, etc. I think I have about 50 pcbs and a bunch of MVS carts (as well as one of those 161 in 1 banana yellow carts). I play Neo Geo more on AES, since I own more games on it, but that multi-cart gives me access to a few games like Money Puzzle Exchanger I may not have tried otherwise and loved!

    I spot Jungle King at 0:20! This early incarnation didn't last as Taito was sued by the estate of Edgar R. Burroughs, who owned the rights to all things Tarzan. As a result, Taito changed the name to Jungle Hunt, and replaced the Tarzan-like character with a game hunter.

  • @andrewzapata3427
    @andrewzapata3427 Před 2 lety

    I didn't start getting arcade machines until 2018, when arcade1up hit the scene. My first one was the Street Fighter 2, but because it was a wave one cabinet it crapped out within a couple of months. Then I got a Final Fight cabinet, luckily that one didn't crap out like the first wave cabinet so that was a plus. Then it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ms. Pac-Man, The Simpsons, Capcom Legacy Street Fighter 2, and the Class of 81. I sold 3 of my cabinets to make enough money for the Class of 81. I currently own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, Capcom Legacy, and Class of 81.
    My all time favorites are The Simpsons, Capcom Legacy, and Class of 81

    Amazing collection! I certainly don't have the space for any cabinets but it's fun to learn about collections like this. My gaming hobby includes making some custom controllers for atari games, and I have a tech question on the Pong console - what is the ohm rating on the paddle control potentiometers??

  • @andyl4630
    @andyl4630 Před 2 lety +1

    Another great video! You mentioned having a switcher on the Nintendo Unisystem cabinet but did not fully explain. Is it a JAMMA switcher or is it one that lets you switch between different Nintendo VS games? If it is the latter, please let me know who makes it and where to get one.

    • @VintageArcadeGal
      @VintageArcadeGal  Před 2 lety

    I have been trying to figure out how to make a multi game system
    Like a 2000 in 1 game box
    I also see a JAMMA board and I don't know what is needed for one of these. They have 60 games in the board
    Can you please do a video on how to build a 2000 in 1 game box ?

    • @VintageArcadeGal

    • @andyl4630
      @andyl4630 Před 2 lety

      What you are describing sounds like a Pandora's Box which you can buy for under $50 on ebay. They usually come preloaded with 1500+ games and are usually plug and play if you already have a JAMMA setup. If it is CHAMMA then it will require CHAMMA to JAMMA adapter but those are usually less than $20.
