You should really advertise this channel more on your main channel. This is great and I think too many people are missing it.

“You have to use your hands! That’s a baby’s toy!”

I can understand not knowing of Wild Gunman since it was a brief scene from a movie, but not knowing of Hogan’s Alley is shocking.

2:25 If you've watched Back to the Future II, you've heard of Wild Gunman. That's the arcade game that was set up in the cafe 80's.

Hogan's Alley or Wild Gunman may not crack the top 50, but they are easily in the top 10 of NES light gun based games. I would consider keeping them along with Duck Hunt unless you have something markably better. Just so there's some variety to make use of the cabinets light gun.

Pro Wresting is one of the greatest NES games ever! A Winner is You!

No matter how hard you try, people love seeing you restore stuff. The numbers don't lie man.

The whole "I never heard of 'Wild Gunman' and 'Hogan's Alley'" was a joke, right? Super dry humor? Dude-those games were/are AWESOME, especially w/ the light gun! I loved them as a kid, and if I saw them in a Player's Choice, I woulda spent a quarter on both.

Regarding the monitor recharging at 11:00 if you have fluorescent lights in that room, they will impart enough energy to recharge a CRT enough to give you a good zap.

1:26 To add to this, Nintendo actually sold conversion kits that allowed Punch-Out machines to be refitted into Play-Choice 10 machines. 2:22 Have you not seen BTTF part 2?

Playchoice-10 systems basically have two processors, the Z80 (Menu Processor), and N2A03 (Game Processor). They are basically a modified NES internally on a circuit board with some additional hardware. The additional hardware allows the menu processor to bankswitch the ten games, control an additional enable on the N2A03 control inputs, reset the game, pause the game, process coins, and run the external timer. When a coin is inserted, you buy a certain amount of time. When the time is not zero and a game is selected, the Menu processor will enable the N2A03 input buttons, allowing the game to be played. When time runs out, it pauses the game, displays a continue message (if enabled), disables the N2A03 game inputs, and asks for another coin. If no coin is inserted, the menu processor resets the game keeping the N2A03 game processor inputs disabled. If a coin is inserted to continue, the Z80 menu processor puts additional time on the timer, unpauses the game. and re-enables the N2A03 inputs.

That finished product is a thing of beauty.

This is cool. I really like the classic 8-Bit Guy format this video has.

Never heard of Wild Gunman…? Surely you watched Back to the Future 2? 😄

Also, that “battery” is actually a supercapacitor, looks like it’s rated 1 farad (yes, farad) at 5 volts.

Wild Gunman is in the film Back to the future 2! I think we need to se it running.

I spent $20 on one of those the first time I played SMB3. I had rented "The Wizard" a while before. I ended up getting SMB3 for my 12th bday in Aug. 1990, but since my Dad and I had the same bday we all went out to eat before I could play it, so I let my friend across the street borrow it while we were gone. My Dad worked for Sears Repair Service back then, mostly fixing TVs and VCRs (when it was still worthwhile). He _ALMOST_ scored one of the NES store displays that played 10 or 12 games (the retail store was moving to the mall), but somebody else snagged it before he could.

that ‘boneyard’… drool- wouldnt mind buying a few for my own restoration and gameroom

Play Choice 10 in a 7-11 in ‘86 was where I first saw and played Super Mario Bros. Nice restoration!

Really enjoying this format of 15...20min for one machine - the pacing and editing is great. More in-depth tech (or keys) in longer videos is the focus of your other channels (which are great as well btw), so having these episodes for the arcade is a good choice!

I won't lie it's a bit heart warming seeing brothers working together. You could be 10 & 15 or 45 & 50, brothers are still brothers.

Wild Gunman and Hogan's Alley were light gun classics!!

Pro Wrestling was an amazing game and would be perfect for a two player cabinet. One of my most played games on my NES with friends.

The scuff that you covered over with the sharpie can still be seen due to the ink not being a true black, I use a black pigmented ink pen and smudge it with my fingers or a sponge for applications like this and it covers a lot better.

I'm really enjoying these arcade videos

My favorite part of this video: The Duck Hunt “happy dog” noise when he pops his head up with the duck. Haven’t heard that sound in 30 years…

It's great to see these classic cabinets resurrected and restored.

RMC has one of these as well, so it's great to see these being preserved in all parts of the world.

What!!! Baseball was awesome! Nothing says "elite hacker-cred" like realizing there's a secret way to clobber your opponent and if they dont know the proper techniques, they'll just think you're some sort of god at the game. Endless trolling potential with siblings and friends.

I'm gonna offer up some advice. A good heat gun is you friend when dealing with vinyl graphics. It can soften adhesive for removal and make new ones fit into curves and corners better.

The Playchoice-10 would be a really cool machine to own. Very nice that you have one (potentially 2?) for the arcade!

2:23 "Wild Gunman, never heard of it" "Duck Hunt, okay everyone knows this one" Funny you say that because it's actually the complete opposite in Japan! Wild Gunman was the pack-in for the Kousenjuu Light Ray Gun for the Famicom. Meanwhile Duck Hunt along with Hogan's Alley is considered to be obscure in the country as the Light Gun didn't do so well in Japan compared to North America and the pack-in is more remembered as a result although Duck Hunt is more recognized now thanks to the dog characters inclusion in the Super Smash Bros series. Also should mention that The Goonies never saw an NES release and only released in North America as a PlayChoice-10 game. The console version stayed in Japan on the Famicom.

As someone with aspirations of starting my own arcade, these videos are immensely helpful

That's cool. I've heard they make NES to Play 10 Adapters so if you can get any NES Games you should be able to play any game released on the NES on it.

I used to play several games on the Play Choice 10 at the Tilt arcade in a mall as a kid! I remember it had Super Mario, Gradius, Duck Hunt, Double Dragon, Hogan’s Alley!

Eyy, more Time Rift! Loving these restorations.

Thank you for restoring this arcade and sharing the process!

Oh boy! An 8-bit guy restoration video is always a joy to watch! Keep 'em coming!

Loved the video thanks for all your work!

These arcade restoration videos are super satisfying, thanks!

Love these restoration videos!

These cabinet resto vids are highly enjoyable! Great work!

The second Playchoice board definitely had some better games. 👍

Man why are restoration videos so awesome? I can't explain why I like watching them but you do a great job!

I love these restorations. Amazing work preserving gaming history.

Fantastic. So entertaining to watch. Thank you.😊

Thanks for the video, David! I can't wait to see the arcade in person when you guys open it.

great - looking forward to more of these restorations!

I really enjoy seeing how resourceful you guys are with the restoration and eletronics repairs. I always finish the videos energized to restore some stuff myself.

Love these videos. Both informative and satisfying to watch restoration.

That was super cool! Thank you for sharing these restoration videos, I love them!

I find these videos so relaxing. You always finish with a great result. 🙂

I’m really enjoying this channel, I think as much as your 8-bit guy channel. You put in a lot of care restoring this machines. I’m glad a new generation will get to experience them.

Great work, I really enjoyed this video.

Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching the result of your work. Lots of interesting stuff.

Really great video. Super neat watching you guys restore that beauty, now I need to come play it!

If only the arcades around where I am put this much effort in restoring their old machines...

Man, I recently found your channel and cannot tell you how much appreciation I got for all the work you put in restoring these machines and taking us along for the journey!

You have a rad mobile in your bone yard! Loved that game

As always so much satisfying seeing these restoration videos and comparing pre and post restoration with final result. Keep up great work!

Very nice work on this cabinet. Looks awesome!

Love these restoration vids!!! Like old times

I absolutely love videos like these, and it's a delight to see the restorations come together and everything that goes into them. Anything involving a CRT TV is enthralling in my book too! Would love to see more of these, as well as some of the more comprehensive ones posted to the main 8-bit Guy channel. That lightgun attachment is pretty sweet too. Reminiscent of a S&W Model 581 or 681. And Hogan's Alley was probably one of my favorite NES lightgun games.

I LOVE this Arcade restoration episodes! ❤

This is channel is magnificent. Another super restoration!

The amount of care and attention to detail is absolutely amazing. All your channels are a master class in professionalism and expertise. Please keep up the great work.

Incredible restoration, that looks great!

Love the vids, keep'em coming.

This channel is fantastic. Good job guys 👍🏻

I see you have a gauntlet machine in storage. That was a personal favourite of mine and my friends when we were kids - 4 players at once. Great fun.

Love these restoration videos, keep it up!

A wonderful channel. Restoration of retro video games are always entertaining to watch. Hope more of these are coming.

These restorations require such a unique skillset that I am always in awe with how talented you are. I look forward to more of these videos, they are amazing.

I've been aware of this channel for a while, but this was the first episode I took time to watch. Very enjoyable, and good to see you having fun at a labor of love project that lets you exercise many of your skills.

I live in Japan and was fortunate to find a Nintendo M82 system. They were usually installed in hotels. I had it recently restored and am super happy with it.

Opening an arcade is our mutual dream…but you’re living it David. Best of luck. I really hope it’s a huge success.🍀

Love these videos… and the music 😊

Incredible work. I am impressed with the level of detail you bring to the project

I really love all of your content! Thanks :)

i know of the 8 bit guy as he did a video on my friend's mac pro some years ago.......curt told me to check it out so i did. this channel i did not know about until an hour ago....good stuff!

Great channel, need more visibility on KZfaq, enjoyable as always!

@TimeRiftArcade David & Crew, very good work! Nicely done!

Excellent work indeed!!!

Love the Restoration Videos!

I cannot wait to come check this place out.

Didn't even know you had this channel?!. Loved the video, and your passion for arcade games, as am i.

Wild gunman? Really? The one Marty McFly played back in the year 2015. You know, the one you have to use your hands… 🤣

Love these videos. Could watch you work on cabinets for hours.

Love this channel!! Keep the videos coming

This was a top notch restoration, I love that you show your solder techniques too. Please keep doing that, it helps those of us who need to be better.

These restorations are awesome to see👍👍

Looks fantastic now! Great job on the restoration. 👍

Great restauration. You guys rock.

You've gotta love a sympathetic restoration. Top work guys.

I don't remember if I ever saw a PlayChoice-10 out in the wild, but I do recall seeing a VS. System during my childhood. Specifically, it was the VS version of Super Mario Bros, which was more difficult than the NES version with levels that were somewhere between the original and The Lost Levels. Kinda funny the fact Nintendo made TWO NES-based arcade boards, one that basically allowed to demo a game for a few minutes, and another that gave you alternative (and more difficult!), versions of the games you could have at home. And then there's my favorite trivia about both the VS. System and PC-10: It was the only platform you could play The Goonies here in the US. We may have gotten The Goonies II on NES, but unless you imported the Famicom version of the first game, you could only play it in arcades!

This is a beautiful restoration! Used to love playing this growing up.

Sweet you have a Gauntlet machine!

Another great video! There’s something about repairing and restoring old machines. More rewarding than playing them.

YES I'm so glad I get to see you work on another cab

Love these videos!
