    Congrats John on the Quantum!!! I was there with you the whole way!! Your basement is looking AMAZING! It's really got a vector/80's tech feel to it now, always a treat to watch these, thank you

    Just wanna add that Firefox was one of my favourite games when I was in High School.. it was in the cafeteria after Karate Champ and Gyruss, Big Guns, and Star Wars. All my favourites today. :-) Quantum was never released here in Sweden, I think.. never saw it at an Arcade, but I´m sure I would have liked it as much as I liked Paper Boy and Marble Madness! :-)

    Qbert is just one of those games that once you get it, you never sell it. It's a life long purchase. Such a great game that simply never gets old.

    That Pac-Man intermission animation at 36:21 gave me a very happy feeling! :)

    The Tshirt idea with the arcade game roster on the back sounds really awesome. Great vid, John!

  • @hybrid511

    I think the 80s rock venue baseball 3/4 sleeve T-shirt idea is great and is a good way to stay up-to-date with the games that come and go and is a good collectors item.

    Love the T-shirt idea. You could even make throw back shirts from your earlier years with the games that have moved on!

    Amazing history, with lots of symbolism. I remember I used to prefer space games to fighting games, exactly when Double Dragon came to the arcades, and then the fighting games invaded and put Space Invaders (pun intended) to rest. You brought Quantum back to where it always belonged. :-D Sorry english mistakes

    Great video as usual
    The game room look amazing with this 2 new games.
    I have been using carpet pads as well for the past 6 months and WHAT a difference :-)
    I have a carpet in the game room, and moving them now is so much more easy.

  • @jupreindeer
    @jupreindeer 8 років тому

    Sound of thunder. That brings up an important question. Do you utilize power spike protectors on any of your arcades? If not, should you?
    Granted, if a lightning strike is close enough to the main power grid, even the strongest protection will fail. Reminded of an event from my high school. Strike really nailed the grid. Blew every computer on the campus, except the main frame. It's top of the line suppression held up as the last line of defense.
    Fire Fox and Golden Tee, there to be flashy to all whom enter the arcade. Nice.

    • @CaptAwesumNo1Zone
      @CaptAwesumNo1Zone 8 років тому

    @mihoshiproductions9809 8 років тому

    LOL, was going to comment that Quantum looks like a cool game. I can see why it failed in the 80's but that it would make for a cool touch based game for iOS or Android and probably be successful today, but then you did it for me.

    Firefox should have a separate high score table for each difficulty. So its probably saving the scores correctly.

    Q*Bert is now owned by Columbia Pictures since they bought Gottlieb in 1976. And now they owned the property after Gilbert G. Pollock bought Gottlieb and used it as a name by Premier. Now Gottlieb Development LLC owns the name and the D. Gottlieb & Co. name.

    John, why was your Quantum and Pacman gameplay on John's arcade? These should have been on the John Sucks at Video Games channel. Ha Ha! Congratulations on the restoration of Quantum.

    Was going to suggest forgetting about the Brofest video as it's apparently a pain in the ass to edit. But after a quick look on your channel overview, it's clear that this was one of the most viewed videos from last year. -- Why the hell do people like watching you hang out with your drinking buddies better than watching you sand Bondo?
