    My father worked at the Bally/Midway factory in Forest Park, IL that assembled the Pac-man cabinets in the early 80s. He worked the graveyard shift for the stock room and was making $13.50/hr which is about $44/hr today. It's crazy how many warehouse jobs will still start you at around $13/hr. It just goes to show how unappreciated manual laborers are nowadays.

    Fascinating , those people are so detached on the arcade production line as you could maybe expect but I would be blown away , I'd defer all bonuses and ask for a cabinet :)

  • @PatrickScottPatterson
    @PatrickScottPatterson  12 років тому

    I just noticed at the 1:00 mark how close that guy comes to smashing the neck of that vector monitor on the rack nearby. Anyone who has ever done that to an arcade cabinet will be able to relate with me wondering how many times he actually might have done that.

    • @jamesv833

      I believe that's a warlords cab so that'd be a raster monitor. Everyone loves the cocktail but I'd much rather have the upright. Awesome vid!

      There are more arcades active in North America right now than there was 10 years ago. They are mostly "attraction" barcade style and what not, but don't act like they aren't there.

    • @American-Motors-Corporation
      @American-Motors-Corporation 7 років тому

      raylyd ahhh the good old days when everyone thought the good times would last forever and so they had no problem subscribing to work ethic propaganda... The world has changed since then now a days the factory pays you pretty much the same crap wage as does the restaurant and even the cheap ass office and Walmart!! Of course most factories have forced overtime which only stupid people like they fail to see that it only leads to paying more taxes!!
      Of course the mandatory overtime is really another example of inflation I mean the standard factory work day was 8 hours now it has become 12 hours a day that's 4 hours overtime which you'll be lucky to actually get paid for 1 hour of it!! Coming soon 16 hours a day!!! And no working a lot doesn't make you a badass!!!
      Oh yes and of course the job worshipers are on the rise professing nonstop about work ethic propaganda.. some people never shut up about work every little conversation they must go out if their way to say the word (work) it's annoying!! People are retarded and fail to see that by going with the bullshit and job worshipping they are creating a low wage environment and helping employers turn back time to the 1920's and early 30's.. they fail to realize that our great grand parents fought for the 8 hour day 40 hour week!! Ok some overtime here and there but not everyday nor week!!
      But the slaves will never learn!!

    03:30 Super Mario World, released in 1991. So the video is not just 80s.

    • @PatrickScottPatterson
      @PatrickScottPatterson  Рік тому

      Nerrrrrrrrrd :p
      The footage *might* be from early 1990 - as clearly Howard is playing a Super Famicom, not a Super NES. Plus, Howard left Nintendo in May 1991... six months before Super Mario World dropped in the U.S.
      But... Super Mario World was in development for THREE YEARS before it's 1990 Japanese release, which puts it into the timeframe I believed this footage to be from at the time I put this video together: Late 1989.
      Goes without saying that Howard having a yet-to-be-released game in his office was not an uncommon thing at the time.
      All that said... who f'n cares?

      Meh.

I have no problem with them. They made "home use" pinball machines and air hockey and all that for generations now... the 1Ups are the same thing. I'd have loved them as a kid.
