    another fantastic video John thanks! I remember many of these, we got different games every month at our bakery in the 70's and 80's:) good times, had 6 cards to;)

    @dustykatt Před 4 lety

    Yes, the gold splatter was on purpose. I restored a Bally Paragon and had it for 10 years. This table was also a sequel to the 1978 table "Lost World". Both tables art was done by Paul Faris.

    Listening to the histories of arcade machines or pinball machines is very fascinating, to say the least.

    @Cesar-sp3nx Před 4 lety +1

    I remember playing the hell out of a pinball game in around 1987+ at Skate Central in Stafford TX. Still haven't been able to locate what game it was, but remember there being a red head or brunette woman on the back glass and it having a somewhat space/rock theme. Looked very 80s, but I've always wanted to figure that out.

    Went to the The Strong History of play museum in Rochester, NY last year. Has an incredible collection of arcades, pins, games and computers. Have a really cool pinball play area with new and old. Has anyone ever been ???

  • @budmuffin3841
    @budmuffin3841 Před 4 lety +1

    Card Whizz is the same as Royal Flush which I have fond memories because somehow I could play forever on 1 quarter because it was easy to get replays.

    Nice to see you back John. Hated to see you break with all the momentum you had, but I think people need Johns arcade especially right now. We all need a break for some maintenance just like our games. Big thumbs up and I’m digging my Johns arcade shirt out of the closet.

  • @mikebigelow561
    @mikebigelow561 Před 3 lety

    My favoret was one that had 3 total playable sections.. there was the main level like any normal pinball game with lights and grafixs. On mine was a plexiglass window with a separate pinball field below the main play field..
    And lastly it had a one flipper suspended pinball game above the main field and was reachable with a ramp... so 3 games in one cabnet..

  • @arcadesunday4592

  • @westcoastronnieOC714
    @westcoastronnieOC714 Před 4 lety +1

    Hey John!
    That mirror finish that you were talking about on time fantasy I think the other pinball that you were trying to refer to I believe is Silverlverball Mania. please anybody don't quote me on that but I have a feeling that's the game that he was referring to I will research.

    That is kind of funny, I guess they were going for a relaxed look on the people but they look stoned lol. Yeah damn Covid, I was planning to try out a barcade for my first time just before the pandemic. Fun stuff, I love looking over all the art and details of pinball. :D

    @paulclarke7571 Před 4 lety

    57:55. The intro music for the "Wipe Out" pin is a surf song from back in the 60s. Bit of a miss on that one. Guess if it was a surf theme they couldn't have a ski lift thingy.

    Awesome I was just wondering if they made new machines like 2 days ago. It's very odd that this was suggested actually... I'm glad you played willy wonka neat to see newer machine in action
    I don't understand why I haven't seen most of these but had seen most of the game in pinball arcade pre season 5. I'd want to own bride of pinbot and terminator 2

    hotd2 uses inferred camera tracking, so theoretically you could use LCD. Also, I have had issues with degauss on the factory monitor (sticking on/off like a bad switch or relay on the chassis). Nanao monitors, like most japanese monitors have external button/switch for degauss. I have a HOTD2 as well.

  • @andy6576
    @andy6576 Před 4 lety

    1:49:25 Correct, the cab's light-guns will NOT work with LCD screens. Modern light gun cabs that have LDC screens work the same way as Wii controllers, with hidden LED lights around the screen.
