That Bucky O'hare cabinet is beautiful.

The King Has Returned.

I love that Iron Maiden pin. My favorite 80's band for sure. the artwork is spot on

Last viewer mail was the best, awesome listening about your operating experience.

You are amazing. You are the guru of all that is arcade. Don't burn yourself out! Take a well deserved break.

Thank god a new episode, I was getting withdrawal symptoms .. i need my John's Arcade fix each week .. great work John!

Awesome my friend. All those old school arcade and console. This is sweet.

You rock, John. Loving your tour vids.

Totally rad to share a Panel with ya buddy..great to see ya again..Great Video by the way!

Great episode John!!! Dig the Crazy Climber at 3:45!! Yea that control panel is in great shape.

Can't get over the broken popcorn machine on your table bahahaha. It cracks me up every video. Never get rid of it!

It was great to see you this year ,see you again next year

We're opposites John when you were talking about consoles. I loved the Genesis growing up and hated the first Xbox. Lots of great games man, looks like a fun event. Thanks for the tour. Great vid as always man, cheers mate.

Loved this. Great job, John. :)

"Here's a Theatre of Magic, I use to own one of these"...I'm pretty sure at one time or another, John has owned everything.

Great video with amazing commentary! Impressive you can tell what cabs were converted from another game.

I look forward to all your videos John!

We had that Williams Sky Lab in the canteen in college back in 1985 . Where we used to eat scotch eggs mate !

Love your Walk round videos John. Really missed sfge this year 😞 So nice to jon happy with his award for Bucky O Hare. The announcement of sky skipper on the switch blow my mind,it’s the icing on the cake. Definitely coming back to see you bro and this year hopefully.

Nice to see you giving some love to Lady Bug. I actually tried to buy that Mr. Do cabinet, but the guy sold it to someone else while I was trying to make sure I had a way to get it home. (Don't blame him for that)

Love your videos. Much respect my friend.

Great video again, John! For sure are a leader, MAN! ;-)!

At 18:00 ish you mention Radar Rat Race it was also a cartridge for the Commodore VIC 20 which I received in the post about 35 years ago and I never knew where it came from, I used to go through my computer game magazines and find the phone number for the game companies and ask them to send me some price lists and posters, this was way before the internet and amazingly most companies and publishers would send me loads of free stuff, I doubt it would work nowadays , sending out Emails to every game companies, Love the videos just seeing the Track and Field cabinet you have brings back so many fond memories, A place we would go to at weekends would have a JAMMA cabinet and we would play Pacland, DJ Boy and Dynamite Dux, here in the UK games used to cost 10p then 20p games like Double Dragon and then up, the last arcade games used to cost £2 a credit. Now I'm old enough your Videos have given me an incentive to get my own cabinet,Emulation has its place but it just isnt the same feeling, so if anyone moans about it I shall point them in this direction as its all your fault.

that video pinball around 56 min mark was my first home console, although i had the sears branded one. it actually has a bunch of games on it.. breakout type games, pong type games, and pinball type games. i keep thinking of picking one up.. see them on cl once in a while

Haha, you told the guy he'd be on TV even though that's not gonna happen! You devil, you, haha! Thanks for the new video!

Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari) mentioned someone had used slugs of ice the size and shape of quarters in his Pong machines back in the day. He mentioned they would put a little sand in the ice to give it the right weight and then put those in the coin mech. When the owner would collect the quarters, all there would be would be just some melted ice in the hopper which of course would damage his wooden coin box over time.

😂 I was the same as a kid with Dungeons and 🐉. I was around 10 years old and remember all my friends and I wanted one so bad! My mother took me to Sears and bought me one. I brought it home opened it up and was like cool figures, dice and board art work!! Then now how do I play??? None of my friends didn’t know either ? Went straight to the board game shelf never to be played 😆

Wow THAT'S A BIG DONKY KONG CABINET! A cabinet only DONKEY KONG could Appreciate!

Awesome show.

Cool video, looks like a good time.

Sonic was an spanish company. Sega of Spain distributed some games with this brand. I have an Original Pole Position II distributed by Sonic :)

That Bucky Son!

cool video and cool games

fun fact: the dev that made lethal league was inspired originally by ninja baseball batman, i heard him talk about it in a podcast

Awwwww.... I soooooooo wanted to see that popcorn machine go flying again!

The On the road Videos are back!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!

Awesome things are awesome.

Would love to scratch build a cabaret too! One day... Like the idea of a Krazy Kong or something a bit different

We need to have one of these conventions here in New Orleans...

That game 'speed up' 125 dollars. Can't go wrong, looked prity cool.

Looked like an awesome event! Good coverage of it all, took me couple days to watch it all but I did! Ha

Same thing with the Black Knight pinball machine. Use the endless loop to rack up endless points.

Awesome vid John, by the way, that Ladybug at 1h6m33s is in an Artic Cabaret cabinet, I have one of those cabs myself, made by ATW / Artic Electronics Ltd. They produced a few games which appear to be on Scramble hardware such as 'Super Star' and 'Mars'. There is a flyer which shows the actual game Scramble in an Artic cab so I wonder if they had a license for it at some point? I rescued one of these cabs which was water damaged and beat to hell. My cab is now a multi game and has the sideart that you designed on it. Lovely little cab.

Damit John! Show those marqees and arcade related merchandise! Anyway Great video as always John!!!

John, I recon move the Red tent out of the basement and get one of those upright dual systems and put it next to 720 on the corner.

New video?! Aww hellz yeah!

First time I played Kick-Man was at the World's Fair at Knoxville.

Wow, just settled down with my supper to watch John's latest upload and I see it has 11,111 views! That's amazing. Do you, John, or anybody else on here experience the 11:11 Phenomenon. I experience it all the time.

With the use of the left flipper in the upper play field. If it's balance right.. You can get get a endless loop.

I have such a goofy grin on my face

Holy shit John! I had a Mattel Aquarius computer too @ 54:35. It was a glorified Intellivision for sure. I actually had the the expansion piece that had two controllers (with the discs on them). I also had the Coleco Gemini system @ 54:50. It was a standalone Atari 2600 clone. They ended up getting sued and it was removed from retail stores. I found it superior to Atari since the controllers had the paddles built in. Also, the joystick was WAY easier to use than Atari's stiff carpel tunnel inducing joystick.

OMG that's my crazy kong !!!!! I am still trying to repair the board and I am sure it's the ram next to the graphics 1 & 2 eproms.

I remembered Sky Skipper being at SFGE 2017! I might have to get it but first I need to get Donkey Kong! (and I saw a picture of the giant machine with the 'NOT MAME' decal.... did not realize it was a giant machine at the time!) and while I'm on the subject, did you happen to catch the Billy Mitchell thing?

This looks Amazing thank you The video.......Gonna Google this

Where does one find video of those panels you did, or will they be up here later on the channel?

12:26.. Holy toledo, will someone get this is guy into horror movies.

Don't worry John you have a busy life. We all understand. Its all good. Your life is more important then our entertainment. So its all good. We understand. Do your videos when you want. We will be here with bated breath. And patient. So its all good.

The gimmick with Safecracker is you could lock balls to play a "boardgame" on the back glass. If you made it all the way to the vault, it would spit out a "magic token" from that slot at the bottom of the backglass, which you could insert to play a special "Assault the Vault" game. My buddy has one of these machines... insanely fun, but insanely difficult to get high scores on.

Good buy John. looking forward to your next video whenever it will happen... When it will happen? Don't care it will happen when it will Happen. And that's it.

I love Tokyo Wars

Attack from the Planet of Robot Monsters to me represented Atari at it's peak making uniquely shaped cabinets and an entirely original game to match.

I'm so going next year

Sky Skipper was a year ago?! Holy sh*t lol!

John you mentioned that the Turtles cab had some brick art work. If its whitish and top of the cab, it's a remote possibility it was a Vendetta cab.

The part with people beating the hell out of a machine is Maddening...

Anyone got any thoughts on the PAndoras Box? is it worth it? or Jamma I would love some advice as someone starting out, I'm old enough to remeber playing Space Invaders Double Dragon Outrun and even remeber the first time I saw and played Space Ace which at the time as a young kid blew my mind, So please any advice on trying to recreate those amazing times during my childhood would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey John would you ever build a classic from scratch? As in, reproduction cabinet from a cabinet shop and reproduction art, stuff like that? I work in a cabinet shop and I was thinking about building a Pacman cabinet/cabaret. I was just thinking that a reproduction would completely destroy the authenticity of it, but it... what do you think?

You should get a Galaga cabaret arcade machine for your arcade John

If something is 1.5 times as large, that means it's 50% bigger. 100 x 1.5 = 150. Maybe the guy meant to say 2.5 times as large, which would be make it 150% bigger (in regards to the Donkey Kong machine).

Am I the only one that thought John was dead?

John do you have a parts kit for the wells gardner 4900 monitor would like to know and how to get it i am working on a track and filed upright.

OH man ! s Sad news that Ian's house burnt down ! I was buying all my cap kits from him, I've been hanging out to buy more, but it looks like I'm going to have to elsewhere ??? Hope he gets back into it soon....

It's been awhile!

What? It's not a Mortal Kombat restoration video? Holy shit!

You should of bought that MR Do, that was a steal

So you mentioned selling 4 games. 3 in the basement and 1 in the garage. I noticed Mad Planets and Cloak & Dagger are missing. The Bally Sente cab wasn't in the frame at any point, but I'm guessing that might be the 3rd cab gone. Still hoping the one in the garage that's gone is just the Sega Power Drift and not the Turtles. I hope I'm right. Am I right? Do I win a prize? Lol. Kinda surprised to see the Cloak & Dagger missing. I thought that was one of the grail games you wanted. Maybe it was just moved. It wasn't in the same spot as it was in the last video.

F14 TOMCAT one of my favorite pinball machines ever. And i know a little "cheat" on it you could rack up some big points with not much effort because you can trap the ball in the left flipper. After the yagoo killls and Go On endless loop. With the left flipper. Only if it's balance right... And trust me I made great points on F14 TOMCAT with this exploit.

Love the look of the Crime Fighters cab. I'd rather go with Vendetta (Crime Fighters 2). Crime Fighters is somewhat hard to play.

Cardboard Size Quarters? That's a first lol.

"MIKIE" is a funny damn game!!!!!!! funny because 50-59 yr.olds grew up with bully"s in the classroom" And we all mostly turned out ok.

What’s the name of the song playing at 1:32?

I saw this guy at the Hangar when I was getting chicken wings.

What happend to the game that was next to your Mario bros wide body cabinet did you sell it

We waiting to finish mk2

Can't believe you haven't thrown away that smashed popcorn machine....

"Taking a break from MK2 videos"... John you've been taking breaks from that for about a month and half now.

I wonder if Nintendo of America's Sky Skipper is STILL in the smoking room.

G scale train is for Garden

8:00 that guys is so stoned lol

You should get a Galaga caberet

it's the simpsons it's a four system it's for sale in Melbourne Australia on facebook market place

Where is Mad Planets please don’t tell me you sold it! That’s a rare game!

Did i see Mean Gene Okerlund from the WWF on Konami crime Fighters? I am thinking its WrestleMania cabinet.

Yourmkarcade bucky o hare konami arcade playthrough

haven't watched for a while... what happened to the popcorn maker lol

Bomba Jack jonh

Wait a minute...... Did Mad Planets leave the basement? I didn’t see it.

Eeeewsh!

Cardboard quarters LOL

With both F14 TOMCAT and BLACK KNIGHT pinball machines. It's not a cheat it's an exploit of the physics of those pinball machines. And using those exploits to your advantage. Because physics can be cheated upon.
