Welcome to my channel! I'm Christopher J, aka S1ckH4nds. Arcade documentor. Rhythm game aficionado. Pinball enthusiast. Roller coaster dad. Obsessive compulsive playlist curator. What's up?
This channel focuses primarily on video tours and walkthroughs of arcades located in the northeast United States. I'm gonna date myself with this statement, but I grew up during the golden age of the video game, and in my travels I want to preserve memories from as many different arcades as possible, from independently run Mom-and-Pop businesses to the large chains that are still going strong for now.
Current schedule: New full vids every M/Tu/W/F at 4 PM and Sat/Sun at 10 AM. New shorts... infrequent but whenever!
I'm also a regular contributor to the community-sourced arcade database "Zenius -I- vanisher". Come join me over there (see links below)!
If you have any requests or suggestions, or would like me to come visit your arcade, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Wax Moon (Richmond VA), 4K arcade walkthrough & tour, December 2024
Wax Moon is a unique curiosity in the Scott's Addition district of Richmond, Virginia. First off, they don't advertise themselves as an arcade. They're primarily known for being a cult vinyl and video store, with a heavy focus on horror movies and goth rock, industrial, and metal. Which is cool in its own regard! It was kind of surprising to see that many VHS tapes still on the shelves in this day and age. But, for those of us who are looking to get some gaming in, the true treat is in the back room. They have an arcade that is about 95% pinball, with only a couple of video game exceptions. And of those pins, the vast majority of them are horror themed as well. The curated collection is honestly outstanding. Old solid state machines like Gorgar, Devil's Dare, and The Phantom of the Opera stand next to modern era pins with DMDs and LCD screens like Freddy: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Stranger Things, and of course the Mistress of the Dark herself makes an appearance with Elvira's House of Horrors. They also have a few other not-so-horror themed machines along the other wall, with fan favorites like Attack From Mars and Cactus Canyon. Entry is only $10 (or $15 on Saturdays) and all the machines are on free play, so if you're looking to spend a few hours here and flip away, it's a great deal!
As we were leaving, they mentioned that they had a sister store just around the corner, DawnStar Video Games, which had yet ANOTHER free play arcade... but that's a story for another time and another video, so stay tuned!

Round1 @ Potomac Mills, December 2024 FULL UPDATE! (Woodbridge VA), 4K arcade walkthrough & tour
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 години тому
So a few weeks ago you may have seen my "from the vault" recording of the Round1 Bowling & Arcade at Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbridge, Virginia. That one was taken about a year ago, back before I got my current phone with a good 4K camera, and before I really gave any thought as to how best to go about these walkthroughs. So take that for what it is. However, on my recent trip down to Busch Gar...

I Played the Claw Machines at Texas Roadhouse.
Переглядів 7329 годин тому
I've been hooked on Texas Roadhouse lately. I used to be an Outback guy but the last time I went to one, it closed early, and the nearest Texas Roadhouse was still open. I switched over and haven't looked back since. It's delicious. (Not sponsored content, I just like their food honestly.) Anyway, most Texas Roadhouse locations have a small handful of claw machines in them. On my way back from ...
Dave & Buster's (White Marsh MD), 4K arcade walkthrough & tour, November 2024
Переглядів 2,5 тис.12 годин тому
Here's a walkthrough of the Dave & Buster's in the White Marsh Mall just outside of Baltimore, Maryland. It's quite a large space, and as such, they have a number of games here that are typically removed or not stocked at newer locations. H2Overdrive and Super Alpine Racer are both nice to see. This is also the only D&B I've seen that has double the Space Invaders Frenzy and World's Largest Pac...
Northern Lights Arcade @ Great Wolf Lodge (Williamsburg VA), 4K walkthrough & tour, December 2024
Переглядів 2,5 тис.14 годин тому
The Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia is giving me a bunch of weird flashbacks. So, it looks almost identical to how the Poconos location USED to look, before they remodeled it. Walking in, you see the fireplace to the left, the check in counter to the right, and the big giant tree (well, now a Christmas tree) smack dab in the middle. So of course, I know exactly which way to go to get...

Tilt Studios are always a little kind of weird. You get the impression they just are throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. This is the third one I've been to, behind the massive 2-floor Tilted 10 location out in Willow Grove PA, and the single floor Tilt Studio in Hagerstown MD. This one, located at the Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News, Virginia, is easily the smallest of the...

On a recent trip back from Scranton, I stopped in at this diner in East Stroudsburg. Imagine my surprise when I was greeted by not just a couple claw machines, but my old friends Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga, as well as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Angus Young! Not the first sight I'd expect to find out here, but a welcome one. Muller's Family Restaurant is half diner (on the left side of the building) and...

I was recently invited to take a tour of the original Retroware arcade location in Lansdale, PA, which can be found inside of the Classic Game Junkie video game store.

I hadn't had a chance to revisit them since, so I've been looking forward ...

Another one of the plentiful arcades in the Crossgates Mall located within the capital of New York, Albany! Apex Entertainment is a smaller chain than your Dave & Buster'ses or Round1s, with only four locations but they're pretty spread out. There's one in Massachusetts, one in Virginia Beach, and two in New York, represented by Syracuse and Albany, seen here. They're trying a throw-everything-...

There's a lot of different choices for hotels in the Williamsburg, Virginia area, since it's such a huge tourist destination. But for me, one of them stands above the rest. The Comfort Suites just off Bypass Road is my go-to pick whenever I'm in town. (NOT a sponsored video, just giving my own experiences!) The check-in is painless, the employees are friendly, and the rooms and decor are spacio...
Sportland Arcade (Ocean City MD), 4K arcade walkthrough & tour, August 2024

Sportland might just be the largest arcade on the Ocean City, Maryland boardwalk. With aisles upon aisles of games, claws, and prizes, this is one of the most crowded spots during a hot summer day. While they used to have more in the way of actual video games, including Tekken for fighting games and a Dance Dance Revolution machine that was a favorite of many rhythm gamers in the area, these da...

We recently had a long weekend down in Virginia and made several stops throughout our journey. One of the first places we visited was the Chuck E. Cheese in Alexandria, VA, right across the border from Maryland and DC. Although the website and Google both said they opened at 10 AM, the door said 11 AM, so we had a little bit of time to kill before they opened. Once in, we found a bunch of the u...

Thanks to the well-known arcade and pinball news blogger Knapp Arc...

Wow that makes me upset. Haven’t been there for a while but back when I was a little kid I was extremely fascinated by the animatronics. Sad that another generation won’t ever know of them
Pretty Based, though i don't see any one from Lansdale buying Gunpla 😅
Hey, you never know!
Kool 😎👍
To bad I live to far in Scranton 😞
How amazing!
Awesome win!! 😊
Where you here on a weekday or weekend I heard if you are there on a weekday when kids are in school the place is practically empty
That's neat.
no its a scam you never get the 30% of food and they charge random stuff that and the card just doesnt work sometimes
Namco 👍👍👍

First off, this channel is quite a gem and I just discovered, so keep up the good work, sir! Secondly: I wanna thank you for clarifying the winter pass. As a big DDR/Pump It Up fan, I was disappointed that this doesn’t apply to those games cuz I was looking forward in playing it all day everyday. 😂 Once again, great upload. You just got yourself a new subscriber! 🫡

Theatre of magic wow wanna play this so bad but 99% chance the cube or something is broken
I'm still hoping that Asteroids Recharged makes it out to places like this.
I love this place. I went to Main Event since February of 2022 and I came back in March of 2024.
Amazing
No pinball machine but a decent selection for 15 bucks all day.
They apparently did have a few pins for a while, but they took them out the last time they rotated the selection. Perhaps they'll be back in the future. IIRC it was Star Trek: The Next Generation and Pinball Pool.
Pinball is full of interesting characters - embrace it and have fun, people!
Guess what? I played Transformers: Human Alliance and I got first!
I should drive down to the arcade. I wonder if they do any tournaments or anything like that
Nah, there isn't even an attendant usually. More just a room full of game cabinets than an arcade.
There’s too many gun and race driving games/cabs ( Plus some are broken or don’t even work! 🙄), plus too much wasted space on the floor and you could easily fit 25 to 40 classic retro 80s arcade cabs there! 🤨
There's absolutely nothing wrong with gun games and racing games so I'm definitely giving your comment thumbs down!
I'm from the 757. I went there a few times.
I was there once.
I think I now know where to go for my birthday next year
You can’t just call an arcade “Tilt” and not have pinball.
I watched the video just to see the Donkey Kong machine
Harlem Globetrotters On Tour is my favorite pinball machine all time ❤ I'm owning one real soon
I will survive
アメリカのラウンドワン、1回くらいは行ってみたい。 日本は店舗の敷地が狭いからな🤣
@@松本善光-zm I would love to visit a Round1 in Japan at some point, whether it's small or not! Can we trade? 😅
Pretty decent arcade! Don’t see KI2 very often! 😳 Wow a copy of Bucky O’Hare and an Atari Jaguar controller! ( That I held once a long time ago! 🙄), plus a unboxed TurboGrafx-16 on display! 🤯 Also an Awesome selection of PS Vita games! 🤩
Wow that shark cage is a nice touch!🔥 20:27
I think you should check out "The Local FFF" in Rotterdam New York. Its a small arcade with several other attractions and a decent pinball lineup.
A retro video game store with a retro arcade? That's a match made in heaven. In the words of Beavis and Butt-Head: "We're there dude!!"
@S1ckH4ndsRBN there’s a place in Albany called UnBEETABLE. From what I looked up they have REAL Arcades than the ones at the malls here.
Only the racing games and shooting basketball are the best thing.
I definitely need to go check this place out.
thank you i had no idea if it was open yet
The OG BttA in the South Mall is a great spot. The PPM one is the new spot, but that initial selection is pretty weak.
This is my local!
I just bought my Dave and Buster's winter pass! ❤❤❤❤
Yo thats where I Live bro.
what camera are you using?
calling themselves apex entertainment and yet no apex rebels from sega? terrible
