John, we miss you man! You should make more videos of you just playing the games in your arcade! I know alot of us would be just as happy to watch that! :)

Stop messing with my emotions John! Stay around for awhile. Glad to see you back.

50:13 the wrong jump button LOL

I swear - not 5 minutes ago I was thinking about John & the vids. Came back to desk and saw one. Can't wait to watch later. Thanks!

I've never been so happy to see that wobbly table :)

HE LIVES!!!!!! And you came to my home state! What a day to be alive.

Need more John's arcade vids in my life

Holy cow, shocker, it's great to see you back!

John, when are you coming back! We all want to go back in the basement!

a lot of things have changed john but apparently not your wobbly table

Oh yeah! Great to see you back John. That’s 2 hours of my evening sorted after work today!

Regarding the Dk / Dk Jr / Marios Bros Namco cabinet the hardware on the PCB is like this : Maincpu: Motorola MPC603RRX266LC XTAL: SG-8002CA @ 75 MHz Video: Xilinx Spartan XC2S200 FPGA Memory: 2 x 48LC2M32B2 SDR SDRAM PIC12C508 Microcontroller So seems a kind of hybrid system where an emulator is used to handle the code stored in the ROMs and trigger the sound samples (just like mame does) and where the video processing is handled by an FPGA. It's different from what they used in their Previous Pacman / Mrs Pacman / Galaga 20 year reunion cabs which was not emulation at all but a more modern version of the original hardware (a Z180 was replacing the Z80 used on original Namco boards)

So glad you are back John! Please be back for good this time! 😁

It's like no time has gone by! It's 2010!

OMG that Marble Madness 2 is amazing looking!

Just rewatched almost the whole Channel. And now I see this! Welcome back, John. Greetz from Germany

I wouldn't normally sit through a 2 plus hour KZfaq video, however this is just so nostalgic. You both have a passion for the hobby. Enjoyable video John!

I have a question: It's always great to see NEW videos from you John! Great Video! Here's my question, We're in our 40s, 50s, and 60s now and are we teaching the younger generation how to repair, troubleshoot and maintain these arcade machines from yester year outside of "how to" videos online, I'd hate to see it just all go away one day because there isn't any interest from future generations. viewers in the comment section can respond too if they're in the arcade community. Thanks Again John, Jay, and Scott.

Glad to see you back once again John... You're teasing us with these latest infrequent videos. Please, make some more! You're missed!

I guess arcadeys have a psychic connection. This is crazy I just go to check and you posted a video in the last 24 hours. It’s been six months please don’t stop.

We need a 2023 John’s arcade update ✌️🍹

John, I am so glad to see you back in action. I always look forward to your videos. Welcome Back!

Ahh man the instant you walked into the arcade, the noise! Best sound ever 👌

I would say Marble Madness was one of my fav arcade games growing up but that would be unfair to all the other arcade games that were also my fav arcade games growing up. Basically I just love all arcade games. You cant beat the memories of walking into an arcade and playing a game of Defender and listening to all the sounds of the other games around you with the occasional cry of "Your Doing Great" drowning out all the other sounds

Man… I used to watch you in college. 4 years ago. 🥺. Glad I decided to look you up again. Have my own house now and looking forward to someday getting some games!

Thanks for coming back every once in while, John! Always love the tours, too

1:39:50 back in the 90s my brother lost a $10 bill in a turtles machine that exact same way.

It just blows my mind after all these videos and how cool of a guy John is that this channel only has 50k subs.

Grest arcade tour, and also good to see more FGPA projects. Hope all goes well in "location 3"! Again, lovely to see another John's Arcade installment! Cheers for now!

The Nichibutsu Crazy Climber cabinet in any version is AWESOME!!!!!!! Jay’s gotta get that.

nice to see you back john

What's up with Jon's and not posting regularly lol. I'm just joking, consistent uploading can be very difficult with other things going on in life, but I'm always glad to see a new John's Arcade!

Legend returns! For those who've missed John, weekly Video Game Outsiders Podcast is great; genuine cast and raw opinions.

Glad to see you back, love these tour videos!

The space shooter sections of Major Havoc are so awesome, I wish there was a game just of that.

John, glad to see you back, I keep checking for new videos! I'd love to see you play the games and do a history of the each games while you play! Keep up the great work!!!

The loud sound, the chaos, and the light from the screens...this brings me back to my childhood from the 90s arcade

Missed the hell out of you man!!! So glad to see a new vid!

Thank you for uploading :) made my morning so much better with a brand new On The Road!

He's alive!!!!! Excellent

Fantastic vid, awesome arcade, incredible FPGAs. What more can I say, apart from "great to see a new episode, and thanks very much for it"? 👍

Now….the Official start of Summer! New John’s Arcade!!!! Glad you are back

Another classic John’s arcade video. What a fantastic Arcade and tour. Good to see you back bro.

Gotta love these classic arcade games. I remember the times since I went to any of the arcades like Time Crisis, Tekken, MVC2, and DDR were memorable ones to me ^^

I love the intro music. Great to see a new video, thank you!

I am sooo fetching jealous watching this! What a dream!

Good to see you back here John.

10 dollars? That’s amazing. A Free Play in Michigan costs 15 on Thursday and Friday and 20 on the weekend. 5 dollar bottle beers. Place looks great.

01:12:44 Killer Instinct did not originaly came as a super NES game, it was developped for the Arcade and ported to SNES afterward with a lot of compromises, even if the port is very nice for SNES

That was my moon patrol.

Missed you John! So happy when I saw a new video! Keep em coming please!

Been listening to you John every Tuesday on video outsiders love your podcasts but this is what your best at mate hope you do more KZfaq because you are amazing the passion is outstanding big love from Manchester uk

Yesss! John returns! Been waiting and wondering but here he is! Whoooohoooo!

Amazing vid john esp the mystery game at the end welcome back

Glad to see you back John, that arcade looks great

Over 2 and half hours, wasn't expecting that. Nice to see another arcade video, hope you get the time to make some more videos even if it's combined in to one video.

HE IS BACK !!! MAN WE HAVE MISSED YOU , SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS

Nice to see this barcade again, and glad to have back John.

so glad to see you back here John!!!

Great video @blkdog7 - what a great arcade and so fun to see Major Havoc being further developed - especially after hearing Owen Rubin talking about it on the Arcade Outsiders on several occasions. :) 1:24:57 Besides the arcade version, Circus Charlie was on the MSX, NES and Commodore 64 too - I just played the MSX-version recently. :)

Glad you’re back again!!!

Tech tip: The TIME CRISIS 3 metal gun holders.... separate gun holders from cabinet and DIP them several times between drying coats of liquid electrical tape or something similar to create a "soft insulated material"

Great to have you back John!

Can’t wait until I can order that Marble Madness II. The original is one of my favorite arcades.

2 days ago I got my first real arcades ever. An outrun and a turbo outrun both cabaret versions. I remembered that John did a review of his outrun once and started thinking that I really miss John's videos but here he is again 😃... to stay this time I hope?

Not only is it the first one in a while, it’s feature length, and “one more thing”? What an epic video!

Really love the FANTASY era cabinet artwork on LADYBUG!

Yes! New John’s Arcade episode!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP THEM COMING!!!!!!

Love it! Welcome back!

Hey he's back! Glad to see you're still making new vids.

Yes sir! He’s back!!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 shoutout from Albuquerque,NM

Johns BACK !!!!!!! Love it !!!!! Keep em coming John !!!!

John is back. Nice to see you

Welcome back John 👍🏼miss you , Stay and do more of your videos I love them

So glad to see a new video! Thanks John!!! Btw, you need to edit Scott’s link

Dope to see a vid John!🙏

Its been far too long, glad you're back!

An hour in and I'm liking it. Nice to see you back John 😀 Btw that super tennis game on the snes is a great game. Never expected much from it back in the day. But it just plays great. Seems tough at first, but if you stick with it, you can easily master it.

john you really put together a good KZfaq product. Fun informative, keep flow going, good editing.

Love your videos grew up on classic 70s 80s michines. Very enjoyable videos .

Glad to see you’re doing good, John!

Man it's been forever, glad to see the table is still wobbly lol

So glad to see a great new video from you John. If you got back into uploading regular content it would make a lot of people happy. Especially me!

I want that DK. 3 in 1 Tell Jay Steve Potenziano wants it lol

Thanks for the video John. Glad you caught the wrong DK button there was something going on with the Joust joysticks too, I think. Love the little tables Jay has in between games. I need to make some of those. There is a video waiting to happen on just those things.

Non stop gems here, amazing episode John.

Glad to see you back, John! Been a long time. ;)

dude john i thought we lost u bro, glad you're back!

good your back, did miss your vids John

holy shit! been waiting for a new one.

I know Jay. He’s an awesome guy 👍

It has felt like there hasn’t been a new video from John in months/years, then he drops a doosey on us!

Cool video, John. That Hyperball pinball game, I've played that in 2019 on my birthday in September at a barcade in Toronto. This was the first time I've ever seen that and it had the full load of balls. Maybe there might be an opening in one of the letter drains or hopper that feeds the return trough that's allowing the coil gun to fire and some of the balls go missing and fall in the cabinet.

I missed these vids there my childhood! 😄😄😁😁😁

Great looking place, poor Jay and his 6100 monitor, looking forward to the next sale, Jay said on the last one you might be there, do run run board working great!

Was wondering whatever happened to John’s arcade and got surprised. Fun videos

First, great to see you back! I and a gazillion other people have been missing your videos! Second... HOLY CRAP about the news on that proto game!!!! There has been some really awesome stuff going on in the arcade collecting community in recent years as far as reproductions of super rare games and this has to be the best one yet! Do they have it out on the floor yet at Free Play so people can play it? I haven't been there yet even though I live not too far away in Massachusetts and getting a chance to play it first hand is making me want to accelerate my plans to go there!

John I had to started listening to your podcasts over 2 years ago because of the lack of vids I love both now tho!!!

Regarding Frank’s letter to you, I also live in Melbourne, FL and can attest that Mustard’s Last Stand is amazing
