It really does. If you haven’t checked out my short, it’s now full of games, part of a complete Sega Genesis collection. And I’m glad I was able to get it. Thanks!
While I enjoyed the restoration, I also had a great time with the Sega commercials and history. Those were my early teen years and I remember feeling like the people at Sega knew their market. Like, they didn’t give a crap about the establishment, just like me. That being said, we always had Nintendo stuff and so was always wanting to play my friends’ Sega systems. Great content!
Thanks! I’m just trying to have some fun and entertain whoever happens to stumble upon my videos. It’s still a relatively new channel and it’s growing little by little. Now to find the next trashed game to rescue…
@@tcurtis49 I like that you're trying to fix up things that weren't made for it. :) Shelving and arcade cabinets are made of unforgiving fiberboard. I am glad I learned about wood hardener from your channel. My favorite thus far is the red tent you did. When I procured my PlayChoice-10 from the defunct Arcade Warehouse in Haggerstown, I was chatting with the guy who owned and ran it for so many years. :) I asked about red tents and he told me they went too fast back in 2019. He said in the 00s he couldn't give them away and was throwing them out! Those damn monitors are so rare that is a tough to hear. There is a red tend near me in PA that is fully gutted, but I'm not sure if I can find an LCD that I could replace the CRTs with due to it being a ridiculous size.
Great video Tod! I have been a Sega fan since the late 80s and definitely remember those cabinets in store! Would love to get one someday! Looking forward to your next vid!
I'm still working on my editing skills, but getting closer to where I want to be. This one was a bit different trying to incorporate more history and outside video into it, but I think without context just a video of picking up a cabinet isn't very impactful. I wish I had access to true historic archival video rather than a recording of a recording and so on. I also need to work with my new Blue microphone a bit more to dial in my voiceovers as they sound a little hollow in the final cut. But getting pretty good with Adobe Premiere Pro and the next video will be a big one. I appreciate that comment coming from you, obviously, as you are much more of a pro than I am :)
I love the Genesis. It's got an outrageously interesting version of Ms. Pac-Man. I've got a Sega Master System as well but it doesn't get played as often as it should. But it sure looks great sitting on the shelf. Your organizational acumen and collecting enthusiasm are reigniting my interest in giving some play time to these system. Maybe do a video on the Dreamcast if you haven't already. I'd love to see your take on it. I do play that from time to time.
Thanks! I was also a huge Dreamcast fan and waited at Wal-Mart at midnight on 9-9-99 to get one of the first units. It was funny because the electronics section was in a cage and was locked and nobody there had a key. We complained enough that an employee climbed the cage, went over the top and unlocked the door from the inside. I played for a couple of hours then had to get some sleep for work the next morning.
@@tcurtis49 Great story about the cage-climbing employee. I came late to the Dreamcast. I do the art and printing for various retro console, controller, and cartridge labels for purposes of restoration. If you have refurbed a unit with a new label, chances are I made it. Well, the person I was making them for (the actual retailer) got me re-invigorated in retro computing. My brother had a non-working Dreamcast. My client sent me the part to fix it and I've been a fan ever since.
Thanks! It was one of those things where we just had to get it and figure out what to do with it afterward. Cindy and I were both surprised just how much impact it had on that section of the room. Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video Todd! Really glad the Sega display cabinet went to a great home, I still miss it sometimes lol Glad I could help build on to your amazing gaming collection!! 🔥🎮
Just saw you be an absolute LEGEND in Nintendo Quest and had to find a way to support you! Hope you know you're the hero of that film... Totally made up for that other lesser Todd being involved 😂
I was thinking no way them BBs gonna work, but once filled seemed like would work 😂. Thats bulky furniture but def ties room together and wasnt that bad after.
Lol the BBs were a mess :) But the doors work fine on a layer of beeswax. The cabinet looks great now that I’m properly filling it up. Will complete my Sega Genesis set…today :)
My first home video game system was Intelivision. I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly after all these years. My next system was a Super Nintendo that I saved up and bought myself.
I rented one of the Phantasy Star games over spring break (III I think) when I was in college and loved it. I bought IV later on and played through most of it on my wife’s Nomad. I also liked Shining Force. I’ll have to get the Phantasy Star series back out sometime.

This display feels like a store. Makes everything inside look like something you want to buy. Excellent addition!

thanks for always being so informative and thorough!

I was definitely a Sega fan and the commercials took me back in time as well. Thanks!
No clue why your channel doesn't have more views. You have some excellent restoration efforts and take some innovative approaches to trashed cabinets.

Yeah I remember when they weren’t worth much as well :) But a really nice piece for the collection. Well, afterward!
just when I thought this room couldn't get any better. just wow!
You win the award for fastest comment ever! Thanks! I hope you enjoy the video :)
Sadly this is the last of your videos I have to watch, just starting now, cannot wait for more content. Fantastic work
I’m working on it. Two long projects as we speak :)
@@tcurtis49 cannot wait 🤘🤘
Found your channel today I love it gonna binge the videos :)
Great video Tod! I have been a Sega fan since the late 80s and definitely remember those cabinets in store! Would love to get one someday! Looking forward to your next vid!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
As a generation X'r I can honestly tell u that I'm in total envy!!!👍
Great job all the way around... from the renovation to the video production.

That's awesome! I have a Dreamcast store kiosk in the collection and about 50 or so games. Someday I'll work on completing it.
The effort you put in is rad.
It’s all fun-I love fixing stuff up :)
Another amazing job Tod!
(Loved Cindy’s reaction to the pickup trip! Very cool!!)
I wanted the cabinet but Cindy WANTED THE CABINET. She’s the bigger Sega fan at this point, apparently :) Thanks!
Looks great, Tod and Cindy!
Thanks!
Very impressed with the quality and content of your videos. Entertaining and informative, much appreciated!
Thanks! I certainly try to have fun with them.
Absolutely fantastic effort... loving the display and the rest of the game room!

🔥🎮
Thanks so much for letting me add it to the collection!
Wow, you should open up your arcade to the public as a gaming museum and charge admission.
I certainly welcome guests. But bring quarters for the arcade games!
This is awsome man! So lucky!
It's definitely a cool item!
@@tcurtis49 I live in Sunny South Africa Cape Town. We dont have nearly half of all the things americans got so its rad to see!
I loved Vic-20 and Sega Genesis. The Sonic the Hedgehog series (including Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine) and Toejam & Earl were my faves.
We rented Toejam and Earl in the dorm one weekend-it was great.
@@tcurtis49 I loved scaring gifts out of Santa, haha!
Just saw you be an absolute LEGEND in Nintendo Quest and had to find a way to support you! Hope you know you're the hero of that film... Totally made up for that other lesser Todd being involved 😂
Nintendo Quest was a really cool experience. I’m glad to have been a part of it. Thanks!
What a killer cab.
Glad to see you were on Team Wang
It was obviously a play on words, but that's what our high school's big computer server was branded :)

My first home video game system was Intelivision. I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly after all these years. My next system was a Super Nintendo that I saved up and bought myself.
I started with an Atari 2600 so I've certainly been lucky to be part of that generation as well.
Phantasy Star! Epic! most underatted RPG series ever! I actually have the original PS1 for the master system. probably the rpg I ever played through.
I rented one of the Phantasy Star games over spring break (III I think) when I was in college and loved it. I bought IV later on and played through most of it on my wife’s Nomad. I also liked Shining Force. I’ll have to get the Phantasy Star series back out sometime.
just subbed! 😊

Yes it was, for sure.
Come back!!!
Are you wanting more videos? My next big arcade restoration video should be ready near the end of this month :)
You do all this great restoration work but don’t do your own oil changes?!?! 🤨
Stay tuned to my next project-where I deal with multiple do-it-yourself truck repairs :)
