It really is a fun hobby :)

I’m a CA kid, so I don’t know that arcade (and you just reminded me I’ve never seen Porkys all the way through) but I love hearing stories like this 🤙🏼

Toobin is so fun and gets so much hate. I think part of the problem is the continuous free play and continues in a home setting. If you turn free play off and play for high score it’s great!

My man 🙏🏼🤙🏼👊🏼

I had never seen/heard of them either. My wife was the one who introduced me to them, haha

🤙🏼

Thanks Dave! 🍻

Man, that would be fun.

Haha appreciate you sir!

@@jsenigaglia Thank you! I should be good for a while. Just snagged a Centipede cabaret yesterday 👍

Haha you made it through the whole thing?! Awesome! 🍻

@@jsenigaglia Yes, also you don't need to apologize for that video that it is long. The warning that it will be long was sufficient. ;-P

I'd LOVE a Pole Position. Someday.

I think thats gonna be my best bet at this point, haha.

You need to come hang out! 🤙🏼

Its a fun hobby for sure, and very rewarding fixing things when they stop working :)

@@jsenigaglia seems like a rewarding and prideful hobby and I am a pretty nostalgic person so it all Comes together.

@@jsenigaglia I grew up with NBA JAM, but I def. think Hang Time is the better game. What do you think? * on a side note, i love how you spend more time showing the machine, a lot of people just pass over them so quickly. the candy machine adds to the room, don't get rid of it, invest in some candy and let it sit there forever! even if no1 eats it.

Thanks for watching!

I really do. I’m the worst when it comes to arcade content 🤪

🙏🏼🍻

I have so many regrets with games I’ve sold in this hobby! I miss my Warlords cocktail so bad. Championship Sprint and Marble Madness, too.

Haha so much Toobin hate! 😬. I love the game, and I love the cabinet. I guess it makes it easy to have when you’re not tight on space ya know?

Someday 😁

Yeah we’re still around playing these things!

I would love an Afterburner! I dropped a TON of quarters in that game as a kid. Enjoy the hobby!!

@@jsenigaglia I never could afford it when I was a kid at the arcade. now it's set to feeplay in my garage lol Unreal!

Haha a face for radio for sure 😬😬😬

Toobin is 🔥. And thanks for the kind words!

ZooKeeper would be the last to go if I ever got rid of these things. Love that game so much.

My brother tried to go the same route but he pretty much spent his yearly budget on Gauntlet 2. This is the best 4 player game I have ever played. He has a lot of 1up games which are a bit smaller but it's fine by me.

Just need to finally get something on the floor! :)

There was a time where deals were to be had ALL the time. Sadly, those days are gone now it seems. Your best bet is to find something that doesn't work and try and go from there :)

Oh man, Food Fight is SO fun! Lemme know what you think of it if you end up playing it 😎

Glad that Taxi is still getting the love it deserves! I was thinking about how I miss it a little while back. I need to add another pin someday :)

I didn't realize TG was still a thing, haha. I've been outta the game too long!

@@jsenigaglia For me, what made the games so fun was trying to get to the next level in the game or score wise. Never thought I would do what I did to be honest.

I was hoping for Cinci/SF, too :(

That could be caps, tube or fly back? It all depends on what’s going on with it?

Yeah, time and place is a big thing. I’ve been lucky on a lot of these games for sure.

SMB/Dr Mario get the most play from me, too. The boys and their friends are super into RBI Baseball these days, haha.

I’d love a Neo Geo some day!

720 would be a great tourney game!

🙏🏼🍻

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

I'd love some Pins but the prices of them these days are wild.

Haha it’s been forever!

Thanks!!

@@jsenigaglia Joe I’m surprise a double dragon cab isn’t in the collection,. DD takes place in Honk Kong akin with Blood Sport. 🙂

Peacock!

They’re off whenever they’re not being used 🤙🏼

Haha we hacked ours and threw a ton of games on it too 😬

You’d probably get some more room if they were swapped, but it’s not much of a difference if we’re being honest. It feels comfortable playing SF where it’s at 🤙🏼

Honestly, the boom of barcades in the last 10 years was the beginning of the end for decently priced stuff. Covid didn’t help though, you’re right. I’m hoping things start to get back to “normal” in this hobby at some point. It’s crazy.

3 of my absolute favorites

It all just depends on which games you’re wanting and the deals in your area these days.

🍻🍻🍻

This is an old video showing what I did years ago. Hope it helps some! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpOFbLKpm9CViJs.htmlsi=jvuSZwIpRC7b7bhb

@@jsenigaglia Good looking out! Appreciate you_just have to decide what games to leave here at CA spot and what to take to my FL spot. I am out of room here in CA place. Lol

🍻

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Haha it took me forever to find the right one 😬

SHO is one of my all time favs!

I think you’re thinking of the Z-Back style cabinets? I think the actual name is 3-KOAM? Google search that and double check if that’s what you were thinking of 😄

@@jsenigaglia I found here, both the Z back and the straight back SFIICE had these metal control panels, but they are actually different cabinets than yours. It was the one I remember playing when I was a teenager!

No, not Gregg from Arcade Impossible. Speaking of, I miss his videos.

For Mario Bros? I think that works with all the braze kits except that one 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s so great!

@@jsenigaglia when you put the coin in , ''that sound'' , then the ''skate or die'' - such a serious game - I played it 30 years ago - I still think of it as prob the top of the tier of games - they are v hard to come by in the UK - and then you have the upkeep of that joystick , i bet most are broken ! how often do you play it ? ( every night is the right answer ;-))

From Northern CA but live down in SD now 🍻

😳

@@jsenigaglia We need an Arcade Outsiders special reunion podcast

Any chance Joe??

@@anthonyotoole8737 none, unfortunately. I’ve not spoken to John in a long, long time.

@@jsenigaglia What happened you guys were such great friends and the podcast I still listen to every night with affection , so funny and just pure gold !!!!

Sorry about that! There has been a weird influx of bots that have been following me so I’ve been filtering them out. Send me your Twitter handle and I’ll fix it!

@@jsenigaglia my account is @madame_meow , thank you so much! Hope you get your bot problem sorted out :)

We like who we like! Cheers!

You’re 10 years older than me so you had the “real” experience? Okay boomer.

@@jsenigaglia Okay boomer? Were you triggered by the Millenial comment? haha. This is exactly why we take issue with your generation. You're a bunch of damn babies. Truth is truth. Sorry you cannot handle it. The world out here will not kowtow to your sensitive needs. Good luck with your channel then, being another boring same content non creative lowly KZfaqr.

Who's the triggered one? Its weird to me that the content is so boring that you watched the entire video and then commented. Your attitude of "you'll never know" is laughable. I experienced arcades, just like you did. You think you playing Computer Space and Pong in the 70s was something amazing? Haha. Arcade games didn't even get great until 1980, so you hanging out playing EM pinball isn't something to hang your hat on, sir. The arcades I grew up in during the mid 80s were head and shoulders above anything prior to that or what you were experiencing. The very reason I turned my garage into an "arcade" was to relive my childhood, and play all the games I grew up playing. I wasn't "too young" as you say to remember. There is zero truth to your original comment as it pertains to me so I have no idea why you'd watch a video about a home arcade and say dumb shit like "always trying to act like they were there". Uhhh, I was there.
