Absolute stonking video there is some games in there i had forgotten about but brought back fond memory's as soon as i saw them ...thx for that John :)

great video as always. i really liked seeing the prototype games its nice to see something that could have been.

Just awesome work John. Wow. Ive had Daphne on Hyperspin and Im familiar with all those cabinets you covered. Awesome to see those in the flesh like that. Super Don Quixote?! & Badlands??? Just wow. Thanks for covering this. If only I could have been there.

Hey John, Just a little follow up. I was the one that sent you the question about my monitor having a high pitched hum. I recently had it looked at my a local professional and he said that it is common for some monitors to have a hum (some may be worse then others) and couldn't find anything wrong with it. I did have him go ahead and recap it and replace the flyback...that definitely fixed some of the other issues, but the hum is still there. I guess it's just something that I will live with...it's not too bad and as I mentioned before it's the most noticeable during the attract mode (and some games). Thanks and keep the awesome videos coming!

Thanks for a great show John ! + the lesson of the laser games, fantastic ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hay John im still finding old new videos to watch. Love your videos and i think you know we all miss you

Wow that was Sooo Cool ! I especially love this kind of Videos Johny man,nice idea to see the place before people are there and games off (must be kinda spooky wierd especially u alone) and to see how this all is, when games are on and with people around playin them :)

Amazing bunch of guys there! I love the laser disc stuff. My collection will not be complete without at least one or two of these. :(

Wow the Laser Disc bit was great! Great to see some names on video! Also amazing to see an American Laser Games title running!!! WOW! :D

That was such a fantastic video!

It was because of your comment in a video before the show that I found out about the show. I went and had a great time. I will definitely return next year.

Nice sound editing during the beginning when you were promoting your t shirts, John! That jingle made me buy a t shirt.

Whoa! Thank you for filming Time Gal. I'll never see one in person, so this is the next best thing.

I think the activities you do are awesome!

Wow man that arcade rocked, must have been really fun for the people who came.

Man, I used to play The Grid and Zombie Revenge at my arcade all the time. Those were like the last two major 'new' arcade games I could remember playing.

Cool, it was awesome to finally meet you (and be in your video)!:). CAX is awesome, it was great to have you there.

I envy your life John! Keep up the great work bud!

That's actually what Cliff Hanger looked like in Aladdin's Castle. Beautiful extremely rare game. Leave it to Pioneer to make such a versatile niche Laser Disc player in the early 1990's long past the shelf life of the original laser discs. Snow Bros. was the most underrated game of the 90's.

My childhood arcade had Bega's Battle... and it sucked from my recollection. The discussion about its demise makes perfect sense.

If you're in the US and want to play Road Blaster, it was released as Road Avenger for Sega CD

I love that sideart on the Time Gal. So cute! ^_^

Can not wait for the 2017 California Extreme. I did not see Capcom 'Forgotten Worlds' in the recent 2016. I wish someone will have Street Fighter 3rd Strike for the 2017 California Extreme.

great video man stay hyper !!

Nice video John. That home laser disk player with the genesis looked awesome. What the heck does youtube think it was blanking out during viewer mail?

Time Gal came out on Sega CD John as well as Road Blaster but it was called Road Avenger and It has the corniest but best game intro song.

woo my question got through :P i never heard about ultimark before! im checking it out now and i think i might do that. i never thought about just using a different restrictor either, as a matter of fact, im pretty sure on my sanwa sticks, all you have to do is just twist the restrictor inside the restrictor plate 45 degrees and its supposed to make it into a 4 way but i never tried so ill do that with a madcatz stick i have lying around does anyone know if they make "low profile" american parts that could fit into a japanese fight stick? i know they have korean sticks like crowns that fit into japanese mounts but usually the american sticks and buttons are always huge

nice trip and i got to see a Lupin the 3rd typing game. ;)

can someone tell me how my ms pac man could have gotten a wico control pannel that has an alternate kind of artwork that doesnt curve up into the bezel?

cobra command, time gal and road blaster aka road avenger are also available on the sega mega cd :D

Man im digging that time gal cabinet, Id love to try and build one. but where to get the game from :/

YES, YES do a video of the MULTI NES carts, and while your at it do it on Genesis and SNES too.

all this cool stuff and i just want to know what got blurred out! :)

John. There's a ghost in your basement! caught on video during viewer mail (lower left ) he seems very interested in this segment :)

I love your videos John as always but wow you didn't even acknowledge Dragon Breed (Irem, 1989) when you passed the cabinet. The game is awesome, you should check it out.

Frickin' Kingpin at 30:00 and they're talking about the frickin' Phoenix

Ive had Road Blasters and Time Gal on Sega Mega CD, btw, what are you blurring out? the package or the drink?

cool games. wow.

For the what its worth dept. If you own Pinball games with those plastic ramps, they look dirty, to clean them use Rubbing compound and they will look new again. :)

Hi John. I loved this on the road video 😊 I was just wondering what you think of the Pandoras box 4? Here in Ireland original arcade machines are very hard to find and if one does come up they are priced at some ridiculous cost. Anyway I build these from old poker cabinets and they are so popular and people are telling me to put them into our local pubs , but I would rather sell or rent these for home use only. Anyway just wanted to know your thoughts on this subject. Love your videos John.

Hey John, please do also a Chicago Food Tour, like last Time... Al's Beef should be a good 😎😎😎 , and more Hot Dogs...

John, this is EXACTLY what the experience is at Zapcon in Mesa, AZ in April. Everyone is so cool. Saw some of the same heavy hitters there too. You need to come out next year. Let me know if you want to collab. I'm definitely going and I can introduce you to people.

Yes John, The coin door lights were on 1:22 at least here

I can actually help w/ that viewer mail regarding the joystick. I'm one of the wanna be fans that has no money or room for a real setup, so I roll MAME as best I can. I have an old, giant SlikStik (out of business) and this year replaced my dedicated 4-way with an Ultimarc UltraStick 360. I can NOT recommend this enough. I have it setup to be 360-Way. The way it works is, it's got a chip on it so you can program the pattern. It's a 3x3 grid. 3 Rows & 3 Columns. Like Tic-Tac-Toe. In each box though, is ANOTHER grid of 3x3. You set these boxes to go in whatever way you want. For example, 4-way has the cross. Up, Down, Left & Right boxes. All of the interior boxes of those are set to go in that direction (up, down, etc..). The cool part is that you prevent dead zones by also programming the diagonals! So Top Left is half Left and half Up. So it all feels original and smooth. They have a program that does it all and you can find files for game already mapped. But once you get a 2-way, 4-way, 8-way Q*bert, etc.. that you're happy with, you just apply it to every game of that type. The maps are INI files for MAME with the filename matching the ROM name. Tedious if you can't find pre-made, but once it's done, it's done. When MAME loads the game, the joystick responds like the original. Or hell, message me on KZfaq and I'll be happy to send anyone my set of INI's What's awesome is that it works for anything barring rotary, twist, etc.. I use it for Star Wars, Food Fight, etc.. in 360-degree mode (360-Way). So he can just get 1 stick, and play almost everything!

Holy Shit! They are using a Laseractive system in Time Gal! Those systems back in the day were expensive!

ARGH! I wanted to scream when you walked away from Eeekk without showing the game play! It's not dumped for MAME yet and I came within a hair of getting the PCB off Ebay some months back, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if that was the one I lost on.

You missed the Astro Blaster... it was released in 1981 and was way ahead of its time. Love that game!

you'll never see a M.A.C.H. 3 Laserdisc Machine ... I liked it playing it in England in 1984... Good Times 😀😀😀

John please come back

Do a video, that 400 in 1 looks cool.

ZZYZZYXX is always the last game alphabetically on my MAME list. Never played it though, but instantly recognized the game name.

Hey John. Quick question, what happened with the bottom left part of the screen at 1:09:26? It just blurred everything out around that part of the video.

hey john you going to cax 2017 see you the there what

wow! definitely blown away by the Time Gal setup! oh man the music game section... 42:17 is one of my all time favorites, paraparaparadise! basically dancing, but more emphasis on hand movements... I can't believe I'm going to make this comparison but it's like the macarena from the 90s, each song had it's own set routine and as you moved your hands to hit the arrows DDR style, you score points and get graded at the end on your performance. oh and most importantly the j in jubeat is silent!

Second and finally a CAX video!

All the Neo Geo games are like that. I have a AES console and it is the same way.

I love that sonic game. so fun.

Dude, cant believe you didnt take the opportunity to have a merch stand there selling your T-Shirts and stuff.

The Time gal game was also on sega CD.

Can someone confirm if at the 57:21 - 57:37 was Rick Stetta the pinball world champion? Guy with black shirt and hat. I am pretty sure it was him. I would shake his hand. He is the best

why is part of it is blurred out lol

John I think that popcorn machine need replacing as its omitting some kind of strange force field

Hi John,what type of camara do you use.All your video are in HD,also i try downloading 2 ,but need up canceling it,because both were way over 3gb each.Awesome video btw

only see the shirts on teespring john...I'm not seeing the stickers or coffee mugs...fix please!!!!

John, check the Quantum in this vid again, no white border issues round the coin op.

what're you blurring at the end?

it's a pity you didn't get to play a bit of Bishi Bashi on the real cabinet as that game is so crazy and fun and one of the games I wanted to suggest for another of your mame playthroughs. Think of it as Mario Party meets Wario Ware as you play a bunch of high paced random mini-games.

The documentary in question: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdafn6uC3cnVqIU.html

I want that bally radical!!! ♥♥♥

Sure thought about attending this one. Alas, the cost of going wasn't agreeing with my budget. So, it's good to see what I missed out on. I have once seen and played a Professor Pac-Man. At Disneyland, of all places. Educational trivia. Harder then Donkey Kong Jr. Math and not as fun. A very bizarre notion, to say the least. Then again, a hybrid pinball/pac-maze runner was out of left field, too.

look up "plaster of paris productions" on the youtube search for that documentary. I found it and that's the guys account name

People look so annoyed with your light, I'm having more fun watching people glare at you lmao

Y'all need to come to replayfx in Pittsburgh. Bigger venue with the same amount (if not more )games and pins. Though it's hard to beat those California prototypes. And I like clever modernization like the superer sprint. On the converse I find the giant PAC mans to be utter shit.

John how bout a wobbly fan for the wobbly table to limit the sweating. or maybe one of those top fans you get in places that are very hot like Havana( with the big blades).

52:48 Same Here! The First And Second Time I Played It, I Actually Walked Away Afterwards It Was That Boring, The Controls Were Crap Too, They Were Bent In Some Way!

Imagining John with Orange hair

Here's the link to the Funspot documentary: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdafn6uC3cnVqIU.html

That woman at 57:32 gave you the evil eye.

Useless Info: The Road Blasters car is the same car in the beginning of Double Dragon.

Laser Disc Joe is awesome. Does he have a channel or site?

Do you have a favorite game? Paperboy.

Dat thumbnail action

just ordered 100 bucks worth of cap kits lmfao my life story

Still waiting for that mortal combat video lol

LOL, John, we already saw the Perrier and stuff before you blurred it out. What's your point with covering that up, huh? Whattya tryin'ta hide, ha?

Ha hesaid he picked the black baby cuz he thought he was more athletic lol!

nice Stuff... but no money to get there 😢😢 the typing game is not a candy cab, it is a sega naomi

I don't think I could get into playing cocktail cabs in a hotel hallway. They belong at Taco Bell.

"its like a real dj setup" no i assure u, its not

Hey, John. I know you always say e-bay is overpriced. Still, I was checking through the listings for a notion in another comment posting and stumbled across a Baby Pac-Man listing. 'ARCADE DEDICATED BALLY BABY PAC MAN PACMAN PINBALL , very Clean With LEDS' Would post the URL. But, it's like a billion characters. The price is probably way over inflated... $3,200.00 (From $154 for 24 months*) ...or maybe it's not. I heard you say this game is a goal to find and these always struck me as falling under the uncommon category. Most pinball is often up there in price and I've no idea if this is ballpark or a fair price tag. So, I just thought I would share.

How have you never heard of the LaserActive, John? hehe Plenty of vids about it. It's not super-rare, but REALLY expensive, especially if you want to get hold of the different game "Pacs"... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8B0dttp2t7Fmac.html

Guy with neon hair is a pimp

John, im pretty sure this is the doc on Funspot. cheers kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdafn6uC3cnVqIU.html

first in 50 seconds

Are you saying Sean fetish boy? Is his nick name fetish boy? Why? 😂
