PART #2 is here • ALL ACCESS YEAR END JO...
Here it is, my year end review for 2016. This is PART #1!
Fun Fact, this video has the exact same runtime as the movie Titanic (1997)
Thanks for the content John!
juntistik I'll take this over Titanic any day!
I'm sinking I'll watch that movie
That's BY FAR THE BEST "room tour" I've ever seen!! I'm more than impressed. You have to know that me too, grew up with the arcades you are showing and working with! I remember back in 1978 how I was smashed by the first arcade cabinet I encountered. It was Space Invaders. BTW I had also a very early experience as a little child with a Pong Cabinet in 1974.
Thank you, John! My inner child is ecstatic as usual for the annual tour!
Wow! More than 3 hours of pure fun. Thanks John.
3 hours and this is only Part 1!? Does John ever sleep??
I'm so stoked on the fix I did yesterday. A game I got a while back has always looked washed out. Well I unplugged the RGB connection on the chassis and plugged it back in and BAM!!! Turns out the connections are just loose inside the connection pin. What an easy fix and now my monitor looks sooooooooo good. Only other problem I'm having is the vertical position. (The pot on my remote board broke off)
your year end shows are epic.
don't ever change. I appreciate how you retell the whole story of everything.
length is great so much ground covered.
It doesn't get much better than this! Thank you John, really enjoy your videos, time and energy you put into everything.
Thanks for watching!
Our love was forged over a Mario Bros cap kit. :D
Can't believe I just watched all three hours worth. Awesome video as always.
Thanks! :) Hope you like it. :D
I dont usually comment on UA-cam videos but I gotta say John this video here is exceptional. thank you so much for making cool stuff like this for us!
Thanks, Sean!
Hey John, glad you got those Pac Man sunglasses!! I worried about you getting them. Thanks for having it on the show. That really Rocked man! Hang on to my token!
Thanks Bro! -Me
The token is in my wallet!
Randy you made that Pacman glasses video.....
Wow! Part 1.... Can't wait to watch this. These are my favorites. Thanks for everything you do.
Thanks for watching, Jeff!
John thanks for uploading this, I've been mad ill over the holiday period & these videos are absolutely awesome for taking my mind off everything as I recover, I tip my hat to you.
I think you hold player 1 and 2 at the same time to switch games....Donkey Kong was my first arcade cabinet-also because of watching King of Kong. I met a lot of friends through 80s gaming. Man I miss living up north! Best video ever John. I am glad you took the time to do a walkthrough. I love the stories.
Also, how dare you have Jump Bug. I love that game. The one at Funspot is the best though. The sound is all messed up and the graphics. It really adds an element of difficulty. :)
Damn my work day is wrecked! 3+ hours! Yes!!!
My official favorite channel of 2017!
Woot! Thanks, Bob. :)
Love the fact that you spent a ton of time on Mad Planets. Love that game.
yeah...what he said.
I agree, missed your vids John, actually watched one earlier and was like..man I could use a new one. Perfect timing.
Awesome! Thanks!
yes! I've been waiting for this. you are amazing John and yet one day I want to be like you a arcade collector keep up the amazing work.
From start to finish that was cool to see you run through everything! Great Vid!
JEEEZ JON!!! So I recently finished rebuilding the wiring harness on our Ms. Pac-Man that got stuck in a fire. And I couldn't believe it but when we plugged it in, we heard a medium buzz. Okay, so I hit the start button and behold! It works! Unfortunately, the monitor has no picture even though it is getting plenty of voltage. We're talking with Buffet Arcade Man to see if he can figure it out, though.
I’m years late to view this but just wanted to say great video-you have an amazing collection! 👍🏻👍🏻
This will keep me going for ages.Thanks for going through each cabinet John I'm learning a lot. Make sure you have a lie down after this mammoth video lol.
I watch this and end up crying.... Happy memories of early 80s Arcade gaming..... Pure history in your videos John... Rygar (Legendary Warrior) you ever played? Tecmo 1987, I believe 😀 🎮 ❤👍
i cant believe i watched the whole video from start to finished! haha
wow
pretty kool to see arcades back and operating in public places!!
is that kof 98 still a bootleg? lol :)
Thanks for all the vids john its gonna take me a few days to watch this whole thing
Hey JOHN Have a Happy New Year man i wish you the Best for you and your Loved ones,i love your Videos and this one is a Real Treat ! wish i could be there enjoying some of that stuff with you.
Am really Glad you did what u love to do in the Pub with the Arcades,its great when u can take it to the next level with your hobby and make it sort of a part time or full time job.
A few decades ago you really could have made some Serious Money with that !
I cant wait for next part and also the Video you owe us from Hong Kong trip.Stay Cool Johny lots of regards from Greece !
Once more into the basement dear friends...
Good stuff, I've been waiting for this one!
Great video! it brought back memories of playing a lot of these games in the arcades back in the day,.
I love seeing the Artwork i sent you when you do your End of year Review!!
Jump Bug is a true vintage treasure
John, you are not alone in your love affair with Tron. I love the original movie and when I was a teenager, I played the game constantly. I really love the sound effects and music. One day I hope to own one if I can find one at a reasonable price.
Hi John , I just love your arcade, I am so jealous :)
I think my favourite cabinet of all time has to be Tron , not the game so much but that cabinet with the black lights is freeking awesome.
It looks so futuristic and at 44 years old I've only played it once when I was young in a theatre in Castlebar here in Ireland.
My dad was buying some arcade games from the arcade room slash bar in the theatre, but unfortunately he didn't buy the Tron game.
I think the closest game to Tron we ever had was Gorf, with the similar joystick.
Anyway John I hope your arcade career goes from strength to strength.
Well there goes my afternoon...:) Keep up the great work!!!!!
.....hate to see your electricity bill lol. Amazing set up though! Living the dream right there.
Hay jhon I was wondering if your going to do a end of year review for 2019?
I so do miss them.
Also was curious if you got the Firefox and i-robot fixed.
And got the electro mechanical pinball machine working?
And congratulations on the MORTAL KOMBAT 2.
It looks sweet.
I don't know what happened and why you stopped making videos.
But really do miss your content you really go in-depth on arcade repair and haven't found any other channels who do that.
So just wanted to know.
Ditto....Come back John!!
holy shit you should really try to figure out if your computer space was in jaws! thats crazy
I know, right!? :) I like the odds!
That would just be SOOO awesome!!!
I Love Jaws, but I must admit one of my favorites scenes in the movie is the arcade scene just because of Computer Space. LOL
I wonder what happened to the white one in Soylent Green.
darkinertia2 I
@@jugglingembalmer Appropriately, it died and its remains were cannibalized for other Computer Space machines. ;)
Watching in 2021 starting the year off right!
SOON
Guess the troll had to give a thumbs down, but traffic is positive good or bad so justice is served! !
Kept waiting for a slow motion of running a red light or a car crash at the end :0 haha. Big thank you to John for all he does for the hobby, good info!
you know id love to watch you get better at 720. the game looks awesome !
Pretty epic video, longer than most feature length films and it's only part 1!!! Will part 2 be ready for the weekend?
John great Video, Love the end of the year Videos. For Track and Field , you use a popsicle stick and put it between your middle finger and and your other two fingers and it makes your running super fast.
I remember a similar technique but with a comb. Damn cheaters! :)
Track and Field is one of my favorites 👍🏼. I always used a pencil or pen for the buttons to go faster 😀
Loved the cameo by Jim Caldwell showing his mad dog face while getting rolled by the Packers *sigh* same old Lions 🦁😣
Yay, time for the annual "I suck at 720!" video ;)
Thanks for the long vid to chill out to while soldering stuff. Quick question if you feel like answering, who covers the insurance for your games at The Hangar? I dunno how you sleep at night having them out there, there's a lot at stake haha. HNY anyway John. Looking forward to PT2 and future vids.
I just want to be able to SEE a Computer Space in real life. When I went to the Frisco, TX museum, their specimen was in the back awaiting a more accurate paint job (or so they told me).
Wow, finally got through this video! I had to break it up over 3 days. So good. I wish I didn't live so far...
Thanks, Bob!
Totally loving your channel 😍🙏🏻
Always a pleasure to watch your videos John, Great Arcade!... Side note: Not sure if this was mentioned before but I noticed your "I-Robot" has the headphone jack/volume control area just like "Firefox", Was that factory that they hadn't installed it?, or someone covered up the area before you acquired the machine? just curious. Thanks For the vids!
It's the same cabinet but I, Robot doesn't have the headphone jack so Atari covered it with a plate.
Cool video John, it's no small feat filming over three hours. Not to mention the editing and upload time to UA-cam ;)
Thanks, DJ!
Audio Jacks for headphones on Video Games. Great idea back then.
HAPPY 2017JOHN
Damn, that hangar's impressive. Only time you'll ever see a dedicated DK3, Gaplus, US Mappy, and red DK in one place. Though I assume you're aware that the board of the latest is not from an actual red DK, and thus doesn't have the ladder trick?
I seem to have extreme luck finding rare dedicated cabinets. I've seen a fully working Baby Pac-Man, original red DK (with the original board with the ladder trick), and the rare DK, DK Jr., and Mario Bros. cabinet. Unfortunately, the place with Baby closed down, but the other two still stand.
When I got my game (Ms. Pacman) I had a similar experience as you with your Donkey Kong, where I overpayed and the picture wasn't the exact machine I was getting. However, I think I ordered from a business, so they had a lot of restored machines already ready to ship, so I got mine in about a week in a half, and it has worked great the whole time I've owned it.
Every dam game is a CLASSIC... nice selections :-D
Yes, they are. We aren't messing around. :D
Thank you john for the great detail! I love you.
Man I'm gonna miss Mappy being at the hanger but I understand that games have to be cycled out. Good Luck.
Paperboy is one off my favourite games. Not played in a while
Zookeeper has all the sounds and effects that Robotron had. Haven't seen Firefox since it was in the arcade in 1985 avoiding the cruise missle was very difficult. Ever come across Crazy Climber? How about Vanguard. Or how about the laser disc animated games like Cliff hanger or it's more popular cousin Dragonslair?
Time to get my John's Fix
Part 2?!? Come on John! Hurry up! lol
Hurry up we want Part 2...haha
Hey John! I was hoping you would cover the progress you've made with your Retro Pi. Have you installed any attract modes, etc? Thanks!
Don't ever put that Revenge from Mars on the location! It must stay protected in Johns Arcade!
I love all you videos John, but seriously, is there any game that you don't suck at?
LOL didnt notice it was a part 1, was thinking you are never going to make it to the garage John... well little did I Know
ha! WE HAVE MUCH MORE TO DO! #SOON
I think the game you should get rid of is paper boy, the reason is that it’s crashed and can’t be fixed,so you could probably trade it for a mappy cabinet at hangar pub and grill, and bring it down to the basement. Make sure the marquee does not actually hit the basement roof.
Also. You’ve been gone for years.we miss your videos John.
Have you thought about a crazy taxi for the hanger?
I have! There are so many great games that we can put there. I would personally love that game there. Great game.
I saw a Computer space a while ago in the 90s in a arcade in Brooklyn ny I didn't know what it was nobody was playing it this with at the time when millipede and centipede and miss Pac-Man was popular at this time
had a browse around utu be and there is a video of a arcade game it says from 1969 called sea raider . It's restored beautiful. made by midway. This must be close in time to computer space...
You should try the Twobit score Pacman 12 in 1 daughter board that goes on your PAC MAN board it has 8 versions of PAC MAN with a choice of slow or fast
Koda J Sciuto are the other 4 games non-PacMan games?
still think you need a space invaders, even if you find it monotonous, it's a popular game, the artwork is incredible, your guests will love it, and without question it's iconic.
theorgandude agreed! And Galaga or Galaxian
Hey John have you ever play The Pinball Arcade or Stern Pinball Arcade on the Xbox One?
Aw man i always wacted ur vids since the mario bros reveiw and i was hooked i lover ur bids man
I meant i love ur vids oops lol
Killer arcade. Just killer.
I just found your channel and I'm so jealous!
+19jcg64 thanks for joining us!
Big fan. followed your channel for a couple months so far. Fell in love after the first video i stumbled opan. Baby Pacman. What happend to that game? did you trade, sell, or it broke?
I sold it a long time ago. And... I regret it. :( Thanks for watching!
need more arcade outsiders john
nice cpu space John Def my favorite one. a beauty
For sure. I love that thing!
Castlevania is the same game as the NES version, but VERY, VERY much harder. Enemies deal about twice as much damage and the timer counts down WAY faster, making it nearly impossible to go after many of the hidden bonus points/health.
For a second i thought you added separate ways to the end of the video....................I'm telling Johnathan Cain :)
Hey John will you also get a galaga cabaret cabinet for your arcade
ICE COLD BEER was cool, ok gimmy a ICE COLD BEER NOW!
Time for part 2 yet??!! :-D
Mad Planets World Record set @ Galloping Ghost last year 568.893 by a 11 year old boy.....😲😲😲😲😲
Funny to see pinball succeeding now. We can have all the videogames we want on our phones with us. But the feel of physical balls on a playfield is still only achievable with a physical pinball machine.
They outlasted arcade machines, who wouldve seen that coming in the 80s?
Yeah, pinball is alive and well right now. It's doing great.
Sioux Valley Vending had an Out Run with a red control panel. here in NW Iowa. not sure if The red is common or not?
i wish we have a good arcade places in Knoxville Tennessee
Mad Planets is such a fantastic game!!!
Absolutely. So great.
I found this Paperboy Arcade manual it shows how to calibrate the controller on page 2-4 www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Arcade//Manual/formated/Paperboy_-_1984_-_Atari.pdf
(48:45) I’ve never seen a 30,000 point jump like that before.
Hey John, could you try the paperboy bonus finish line glitch? (I DID NOT discover it, i forgot who did) You have to steer to the VERY far right of the finish line and miss the trigger. The points counter gets confused and gives you tons of points and if you keep doing it then the bonus stage gets really glitchy and eventually crashes. I think this only works on earlier revisions of the ROM though(I think it was before rev 3).
I have heard of this but never tried it.
I've seen other people do it on actual Paperboy arcade machines. I tried to do it on the PS2 Midway arcade classics game but could not get it to work. It works on rev 1 and possibly rev 2 but it wont work on rev 3 of the game. I plan on trying to perform this in MAME but I would like to see you try it on a real machine if the ROM version is the right one. Sorry for the long comment. Keep up the good work!
John isn't the switch on Donkey Kong to hold down player one and player 2 start? Those don't usually get used simultaneously.
I tried it again last night... It's hold down "JUMP" when in the DK REMIX KIT and "1P + 2P" when in the D2K kit. I have both installed at the same time and it's a bit confusing for sure.
would shuffleshot work in that Golden Tee?
Whatever happened to your Multi Q-Bert board? I've seen it in a few videos recently that UA-cam suggested.
cwgraham He got rid of it
awesomeness
what do u think about getting an atari road runner or temple of doom. Good Ones from Atari...
41:40 >resistors, and capacitors and Transitor to Transistor Logic
What do you think a CPU is made out of, John?
There is no actual CPU or "computer" in Computer Space. "The final Computer Space design uses no microprocessor or memory; the entire computer system is a state machine made of 74-series TTL chips, with graphic elements held in diode arrays"
What TheTurnipKing was trying to get at is that a CPU integrates the logic into a chip, but if the logic uses much bigger and fewer discrete transistors (rather than having an insane amount of tiny transistors integrated into a CPU), then it's still a computer, just not a CPU-based computer. The Computer Space manual alternates between "computer" and "brain box" terminology.
@@RWL2012 TLDR: CPU is made out of TTL, resistors and capacitors "integrated" into a single "chip".
It has a CPU in effect, it's just not in a single chip.
See, for example, the MOnSter 6502 and other similar projects, which reimplements the classic CPU with larger scale "discrete logic" It's all fascinating stuff, for sure.
@@TheTurnipKing good way of looking at it. and I'll check that out!
