As a child of the 80s, watching the arcades die out in the late 90s was heart breaking. Glad to see people still have the passion for the experiences of the arcade.
I'm going to keep the flame burning as long as I can! Thanks so much for watching!
We had SO much fun!!
We really did, it was truly EPIC! It's going to be hard to beat a trip like that.
No doubt it was a fantastic time in Chicago!
Can I come next year and carry the camera and open doors for you all?!?!
Why havent you guys come to the Budapest Pinball Museum yet? Got something against Goulash??
@@pannonianbrute it's a long drive!
What an amazing Episode was this.
Credits to your Editor... this is TV Level quality content 😃
One day wicked, one day 🙏🏼. Thanks for watching bud, Mason didn’t hold back on this one! He did an amazing job 🤘🏼
I thought the same thing. Great editing job.
TV sucks tho. 🤷♂️
Hi Wicked. It's awesome that you're tuning in :)
OMG finally we get Mason narration! Guys your killing it and raising the bar each episode, just amazing.
We finally DO get a Mason narration! Jokes aside, I'm glad you see progress in the episodes! The sky is the limit and we deeply appreciate your support. 🙏
AMAZING WORK GUYS YOU NAILED IT. Took me back to the 7/11 store where we hung out playing BLACK TIGER and RASTAN for hours and eating nachos thank you again sir for your hard work.
Netflix should make you and Mason an offer for a full fat arcade series. I really like what you guys do.
Best one yet, got to make a trip to galloping ghost. Just a 4 1/2 hour trip to Chicago from where I live, keep the mission strong and thriving ....!!!!
You truly are a rockstar my dude!! I’ve been really enjoying the journey. You deserve everything you got Ralph! Can’t wait to see what’s next…..
That was a KILLER video! Totally enjoyed it. You could just tell you guys were having the best time ever.
I finally got to sit down and finish this. What a great video! Todd seems like a truly great guy and someone who loves the industry, just like you. This could easily be on TV but the selfish part of me doesn't want that. I don't have cable for one and two, I fear some network executive or producer would come in and try to make the show something its not. I hope this is a success and its something you can keep doing. I never thought I'd be talking about the classic arcade games I loved as a kid this much as an adult.
Thanks bud, I really appreciate you watching! I'm glad the passion came through, this was by far one of my favorite trips, I'm still smiling from this awesome week of arcade nostalgia fun! Thanks again buddy!
This show is quickly growing on me, lately I've realized I'm into these old arcades more than anything modern gaming has to offer, I find myself enjoying even bad emulation of old stuff more than being on a server getting my face blown off, anyway this is an awesome show, earned my subscription.
Thanks so much for checking it out and for subscribing 🙏🏼. I totally get what you mean. I will play modern games from time to time but truly enjoy the classics more than what’s being developed today. Thanks again!
Damn Ralph, too bad you weren't around for Grinkers in Idaho... the whole vibe we got to experience there is exactly what you felt in Chicago.... Its almost more about the people you meet than the games we played but the games is what brought all the people together...
Mason and I have talked about how we haven't hit much of the western side of the country yet. It's been Ohio, Arizona, and Illinois. There's definitely a ton of opportunity to explore everywhere for the show, so maybe in the future!!
Galloping ghosts is one of those places equally fascinating to the layman and the invested fanatic. That is why it is just Mwah chef kiss place.
Not sure why this vid was recommended to me but the arcade near Space Mountain in Disneyland had this game in the 90's. I always thought it was Afterburner on steroids. Cost $5 to play.
That's awesome, thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the video. Lot's of other content like this if you're into this kind of thing. Thanks so much for watching!
Played it all the time at Disneyland. I remember giving them 5.00 every time and couldn’t believe it.
I also rode this at Disneyland. It was a cool experience but I didn’t like that the rotation wasn’t related to the onscreen action.
was able to ride this as a kid, it was a blast. 10/10 would recommend lol I wish there were more game simulators like this
The quality of this is amazing! Nice video Ralph and Mason!
I cannot thank you enough for this video... You are the next in-line of retro-nostalgia game-lords!!! Simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, thanks! That means a lot, thank you so much for watching!
Ralph, great episode my dude. I will say this, as an arcade collector of nearly 15 years, I recently acquired 2 pinball machines, Judge Dredd and Congo, with my 3rd favourite, Johnny Mnemonic coming in a couple of weeks. It's a different world and one you will love. Having a gameroom with your childhood arcades and a small collection of pins is the perfect combination in my opinion. Look forward to the next episode.
Hey my dude! Good to see you here! I need a pinball man, I need it BAD! Haha.... Thanks again for watching my friend. I hope all is well.
Pinball looks like the Modern Manifestation of that Interest in the Physical form of Logic in the exact same way some people in the past and even today are interested in Clocks and their workings.
But Pinball is for the Technological inclined...
I played the R360 many years ago. They had one at a local gaming centre/night club. I'm pretty sure it was time limited too (so it didn't matter how good you were, once your time was up that was it). I also seem to recall it was quite expensive for the time played, so I didn't play it much. Cool to see you have fun playing it!
Thank you Ralph and Mason for including me in the video! Two really humble people who are just as nice on the stream as they are in person. Great end to the ralph superbowl day! (Whatever u called it on coffetalk) loved episode 3!
Thanks curt and of course! I really enjoyed getting to meet you in person 🙏🏼. I appreciate your support my friend!
'You can Feel the Energy in this Place!'
LMFAO! Maybe that's just the Radiation from the Concentration of Ancient Tube TVs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe that was it, LOL! Thanks for watching!!
I loved meeting Todd on my trip to TNT! Super fun dude, hilarious, very very hospitable and his level of knowledge is insane! The Twins were just as funny and accommodating, and let me tell you, they are absolute BEASTS! I bought 2 machines on my trip: an Arkanoid in a Gorf cab, and a Power Drift -- ONE twin literally lifted each cab into my F-150 by himself. And no, he didn't tip them on their backs and leverage the tailgate as a fulcrum and slide the machine in there on its back; he loaded them upright. I have NO idea how he could just basically deadlift that much weight on such big and awkward cabinets, but he did it. I watched him do it. Two of us couldn't get them down out of the truck afterwards. We needed a forklift to get them out. Anyway, looks like you had an incredible time and I'm glad you enjoyed the trip! Thanks for sharing!!
That game actually exits!. I thought the R360 was something my teen brain made up. It was real I did not dream up that I played something like the ages ago now.
That Star Wars Arcade game was released in Australia and came as a two player cabinet. One person playing as the pilot. And the second player as a gunner. A friend and I managed to complete it on one credit. (one credit each for each of us actually XD)
I saw it in an arcade in Blackpool, England. I remember thinking it's StarFox but Star Wars. One good thing about this town back in the 80's and 90's was they had a true love for arcade machines. It's stil got many of them. They had an R360 also at Mr. B's
R360 looks so cool and expensive. Nice work, Sega!
i really love these chasing nostalgia's. these are put together so well, they could be a netflix/hulu origional
Thank you so much. We put a lot of work into these so that’s really awesome to hear. 🙏🏼
So cool to see you playing this Ralph,. Adventureland on Long Island had a unit when they were new but I had no idea it probably cost as much as some of the actual rides there!
Wow. I remember playing this when I was an exchange student in Japan back in 1991. It was unlike anything I had ever played! Thanks for reviving a forgotten memory with your video!
I played the R360 back in the day and somehow managed to land the jet upside down. This meant that I has hanging upside down until the jet took off again. Not the most pleasant experience, but the game was really cool anyway. Never knew such a low amount of them were made.
Just got done watching Episode 2 and ready for more 🕹💞
I think you’re really going to enjoy this one, it’s nostalgia overload! Thanks for supporting it my dude! 🙏🏼
When you played Sinistar it sounded like you were mining crystals to make Cinnabon's. HAHAH
Who doesn’t like Cinnamon? 😂
Finally found this video!! I kept skipping it 'cause I'd seen the R360 in two other of Ralph's videos, and from the long title thought that was all this was (consistent naming conventions are important). That said, what an awesome video! Great job, Mason!
Glad you liked it!
My dad was an expat in Indonesia setting up arcades all over the country in the mid 90s. The warehouse got a R360 with G-loc which they were holding there waiting for a new center to be finished being built before sending it out. So I was able to plug it in and be able to play for hours and hours after school for a a week or 2. Was definitely my favorite game that ever came through there and even decades later would love to play it again. In fact I didn't realise it came with any other games like afterburner till now.
Got around to watching this late last night. I really enjoyed seeing the polished version after watching the raw footage from your go pro. You're killing man this was go well done the future for your channel is incredible.
Galloping Ghost just got added to my bucket list 👍👍. Thanks for sharing.
This web series is really becoming something good. Arcade pickers, is a distant memory and doesnt even come close to how good Chasing Nostalgia is. Only complaint is the length between new episodes.
On episode 3 i especially liked the lines about; making new memories and not tring to re-live old ones and about the 1ups helping the community. Me i dont like the 1ups and i would never buy one. I do see how they help the arcade collector community. By helping the person who doesnt have the money for a real arcade game or the space, still be able to collect something similar to an arcade game. Even though if i was in that predicament i would just get a full size mame arcade cabinet, but everyone is different. Sorry for the long message, keep the episodes coming. Great stuff!
Wow, thank you for the kind words and I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! Wish we could pump them out faster but it's all self funded so I can't do them as fast as I would like. Thanks again!
@RetroRalph, be careful about getting the ‘pinball bug’ ..it’s HIGHLY infectious compared to video uprights. And a helleva lot more pricey. But it’s worth it. Thinking about selling my Dragon’s Lair to fund even more pins (or a half a pin, lol) great show Ralph. You knocked it outta the park.
I think I already have "the bug"... it might be too late.. LOL! Thanks for watching!
R360 was so awesome. Every time I would come accross a unti I'd play it. G-Loc was just an After Burner clone with a few polygons for your plane but the way it worked with the simulator was incredible. Always wished Sega had done a follow up later when they had moved to the Model 2 board.
Great episode Ralph and Mason!! Appreciate the coverage and hope to visit Galloping Ghosts some day
Thanks for watching bud 🤘🏻
I used to spend ALL my money playing the R360 at the Space Needle in Gatlinburg TN, back in the 90's! LOVED That game! They used to say it was the only one in the country, which I doubted.. but it was the only one I have ever seen in person.
So thankful for Ambassadors like these guys here keeping the force strong in these games!
Well done, absolutely incredible.
I would live in that 360 game, looks so fun!
Looking forward to it Ralph. Keep up the great work.
You show up in several parts of the video, instead of where's waldo it will be "where's Arcade Erik". ;-)
@@RetroRalph Thanks buddy, where ever / when ever you need me I'll be there, just let me know.
Played the mad beast that is the R360 at the Trocadero in London what seems like a lifetime ago - truly the most insane arcade system ever invented, and the pinnacle of 'taiken' games.
wicked cool man..love Todd and the twins..great people...haven't been to GG but I will one day..keep up the #realstuff
Capt hit us up when you want to go .I will have Doc roll the red carpet out for you too
Love that you went to Galloping Ghost, hope you're able to come back to Chicago again! Galloping Ghost is my most loved arcade in my hometown :)
I hope so too! Thanks so much for watching!
got some fond memories of R360 from a trip down to London back in the day, stupid hard to control but serious fun
i travelled across multiple states to go to GGA and i was amazed/ overwhelmed at the volume of games the first time and again my 2nd time at the expansion and addition of the pinball building.
truly my favorite arcade.
Fantastic video Ralph. I'm UK based but I can see I'm going to have to definitely pay a visit to Chicago at some point in the future. Galloping Ghost looks insane.
You should at least try in your lifetime to check it out, you would be blown away!
I wish I could thumbs up more than once! Great job Ralph, Mason, and the rest of the team and guests!
Thanks bud, we really appreciate the support!
Proud my Grandpa restores pinball, jukeboxes and MG cars :)
This was a great video! Glad I found the channel to sub to :)
Thanks for the sub and very much appreciate you watching! Props to your Grandpa, gotta keep the dream alive for future generations! Thanks again, appreciate you!
Ralph, I hadn't heard of Todd Tuckey before your first pinball expo video a couple weeks ago. I started watching his videos and they're great, he's hilarious. I looked him up, and TNT Amusements is 35 minutes from my house! I may have to go check it out.
OMG REALLY, you gotta go over and say hi to everyone!
I enjoyed the atmosphere: you're like kids dudes. I did play that fantastic R360 game. No console will ever be able to provide such feelings. Mille mercis !
Excellent video Ralph. I am lucky to live 20 minutes from the Galloping Ghost so I got there once every quarter of a year and it just makes me sooooo happy being in that place.
Was so lucky to play the r360 in Canada in it's og days. I believe it was in an arcade under the big needle skylon tower.
Great video Ralph! Thanks for sharing. I really wish I had known about this expo before it was already over, I would have definitely attended.
I will let everyone know in advance next year, this was a little last minute. Thanks so much for watching and hope to see you there next year!
Here in Ramblas of Barcelona city (Spain) , we had one of these R-360 monsters in late 90's, costs $3 each credit, was an awesome experiencie for me, I was 17
An R360 was recently found in a field in ireland in the middle of nowhere, apparantly years ago someone had driven out of the city for miles and illegally dumped it as garbage in the countryside.
I did see that article a while back. I wonder why they didn't try to sell it. I would imagine it would have been worth something as parts. Crazy. Thanks so much for watching. 🙏🏼
Simply put...Amazing episode!! And hes right...arcade1up has sparked this industry up again!! Awesome job Ralph👊
Laser Ghost had a US release. I have fond memories playing it as a kid.
Love it! Excellent video! Thanks Ralph for bringing us along as you chase nostalgia!
Great to see some GGA action, and to have that together with Todd Tucky, and the TNT twins! Pure gold content right here! I posted it on the discord for my brother's and my twitch channel, as this is awesome content that's exactly in line with what we're all about! 👏
Dude, OMG thank you! I really appreciate that feedback and you helping to spread the word. It’s tough to promote content like this on CZcams so I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏼
So jealous! that looks like so much fun. Great video!
I remember the R360 in Australia Many MANY Years ago in Timezone! definatly a Once in a Life time experience!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Ralph! I'd probably throw up in the R360 LOL!
I never got to play the 360 when it was out . They had it at “Grand Prix race o Rama “ in Hollywood, Fl . It always had a long line , and it was like 5 dollars to play . That’s a lot when you only got 10 dollars to play with .
Love it!!! Keep up the great work!!! Amazing! Thank you!!!!!
Awesome video!! We did get Star Wars Arcade in English. Also there is a Sega Wing War version of the R360 (the one showed is G-Loc) Both were pricey.
Nice work... I have a vintage 4 plater cocktail pong in very nice condition. I love the hobby.
I remember seeing Laser Ghost at 2 or 3 locations in Colorado growing up!
Even though I live in the North Side of Chicago. I haven't been to Galloping Ghost Arcade since covid happen. Still waiting for the all clear for me to come back.
Excellent Ralph!Living the dream man!
I'm trying man, thanks so much for watching!
YES I took a trip to Galloping Ghost Arcade in 2019 mainly to play Primal Rage II when I got there my mind was blown! Because there's so much to play and so much to see. Primal Rage II was about a 15 minute stop then off to the next game. It is a magical place, if you're ever in the area it's a must stop. 8 hour round trip was definitely worth it.
Your best episode yet! You are doing the hobby justice. Keep up the great work!
I'd be like a kid in a candy store, with diabeeeetus, if I ever went to an expo.
Awesome video!
Thanks for sharing!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Wow. Great show! Every episode gets better. You NEED your own show on TV. Keep up the great work Ralph. Whenever I need to laugh or see the bright side of life, I watch your videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching. Your comment made my morning! Thank you again for watching and for supporting the show, it means a lot 🙏🏼
Great job to Ralph and the team!!! amazing!!! I'm going to head Galloping Ghost soon! Not far from me at all!
Lucky
Did y’all get any footage of actual gameplay of that Predator pinball? You basically said, ”Here is something amazing that no one has ever seen”…and then didn’t really show it. I literally caught myself swiping at my screen trying to see more of the pin. 🤣 Please highlight some of these cool things in a subsequent video if you have the footage.
It unfortunately was down at the moment so we couldn’t play it. 😐. Hopefully next time! Thanks so much for watching!
I played an R360 at an arcade at Niagara Falls back in 1994. This brings back some memories!
This was actually in Terminator 2. John connor was playing this in the arcade.
That was one crazy Adventure ! 😄
Triple Wicked!!!! Thanks my friend! 🙏🏼
I'm only a little jealous. :) Another great video Ralph!
Thanks! 😃 I really appreciate you watching!
Amazing video. That Sega R360 is amazing. May I ask if you heard of an Arcade game called "Ridge Racer Full Scale"? Have you seen it at any arcade today?
It was made by Namco in 1993, and uses a real car to play Ridge Racer. I played it once when I was a kid. I've been wanting to play it again. But my local arcade closed down years ago and the Ridge Racer Full scale machine was long gone. Have you seen a Ridge Racer full scale at any of the arcades you've visited?
It would be awesome if you found one or did a Chasing Nostalgia video on it. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Had the pleasure of using the R360 in Budapest, Hungary in the mid-90s, at the legendary arcade called Wizard’s. While I was not a squeamish child, this was scary as hell lol Fun fact: There was a second machine there nearby at Siófok on the boardwalk, meaning that at least 2% of all machines produced were located in Hungary, which had just transitioned to democracy the same time this machine was made.
these games are a important part of history and should be preserved forever
I couldn’t agree more 🙏🏼
So the R360 was real after all! I remembered seeing it in a arcade when I was 10 years old and on vacation in London. Though I never saw it in any other arcade I been at in my life so I began to wonder if maybe I just imagined it or something. Looks very cool!
That Arcade was cool ! 😄😄
Triple Wicked!!!! Thanks my friend! 🙏🏼
Hey Ralph! I just had a chance to catchup on this episode. Another great episode. I really like how you take a few minutes to talk about historical context of different machines. Have you ever visited Starfighter Arcade in Phoenix? I've been wanting to visit it for a while. Might be an interesting locale for a local clip if you're up there. Keep gaming and thanks for great content!
Legends.
We had that Star Wars game at an arcade in Upstate NY when I was a kid (late 90s). It was also released on the SEGA 32x in North America.
First off thank you so much for watching 🙏🏼. I had the 32x version growing up but was unaware that some were also released in North America. I’m trying to figure out how many but it’s tough to say at this point. So I was wrong on this one unfortunately. Thanks for the correction and thanks again for watching.
@@RetroRalph Thank you for making great videos!
It was in a miniature golf center in Tonawanda NY, and is long since gone. It was the only one I ever saw in person, although I never really thought about that until now.
Man this place is great. Now I have a reason to travel to IL.
Amazing video. Keep up the great work!
I was lucky enough to play the R360 in Gatlinburg TN back in the 90s.
Oh man, do you remember where? Thanks for watching!
@@RetroRalph it was at a huge arcade that you walked through as you exited the Ripleys Believe It or Not museum. I don’t remember the name of the arcade. It had a sign up that said it was only for a limited time and they charged 5 bucks to play it.
Duuuude, the scorpion mask! That's amazing.
Todd Tuckey is a national treasure.
I couldn't agree more, such a great guy!
Binging your stuff Ralph, looking at building controllers and Pandora's box stuff and found ya! I'm in Taiwan! Keep it up man love it
Laser Ghost definitely had a North American release. We had that machine at Pocket Change in Ross Park Mall (Pittsburgh PA).
I corrected this during the premiere, I discovered that after the fact that my data was wrong, my apologies.
If possable i would rent an apt above or cross the street from this place and hangout there every day. I miss arcades.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
R360!!! Wow… another great episode of chasing nostalgia RR!
Thanks for your support!!
Great episode. Nice to see the games you can't see everywhere and why. The national air force museum in Ohio has a flight simulator similar to that Sega game. 2 people can sit in it, one as pilot and one has gunner. It rolls 360 but doesn't go vertically 360. Still a blast.
